How do I create a CustomInventory item?

[Cherno]

Seems like this should be simple, but I can't get it to work. I suspect I haven't understood the underlying principle at all

No matter what I do, I can't seem to pickup the item, it just stays there when I touch it. I can use +ALWAYSPICKUP and it works, but apparently isn't placed in my inventory.

Code: Select all

ACTOR CE_Dynamite : CustomInventory
{
	Radius 8
	Height 16
	Inventory.Amount 1
	Inventory.MaxAmount 10
	+INVENTORY.INVBAR
	
	States
	{
		Spawn:
		DYNA A 1
		Loop

		Pickup:
		TNT1 A 0
		Stop

		Use:
		TNT1 A 0 A_ThrowGrenade("CE_Dynamite_Active", 0, 12, 4, false)
		Stop
	}
}

I just want to be able to pick it up (if there is room), and be able to select it in my inventory bar and use it so the active dynamite is thrown. I use Doom2.wad as the base game, btw.

I don't see anything wrong with this, though I haven't touched Decorate in a while.

does specifying an inventory.icon do anything?

or getting rid of the pickup state?

Actually, deleting the Pickup state was the solution. Thanks for the tip

CustomInventory has either Use: OR Pickup:. These two states cannot be combined, since the game logic is this: the 'use:' state is intended for combination with +INVENTORY.INVBAR for items, that could be used later, while the 'Pickup:' state is intended for items that execute action on pickup - like the classic doom pickups do. Also, define a 'inventory.icon' to work properly. Without it, it will show only empty inv slot (even with number, where there could be more than one item in inventory).
And, once more, if you want the item just stay in inventory without actually doing anything (something like quest item or thing like that), define the 'use:' state with this:

Code: Select all

Use:
TNT1 A 0
Stop

Because without this, the item will not go into invbar, no matter the flag ( or it cannot be even picked up? I am not sure here.).
