Text to IItemIdentifier

[muhammadasif527]

inventory.Pickup function requires IItemIdentifier while i have string as input. How i can convert Text to IItemIdentifier.
I have Text because i could not save IItemIdentifier in Json file.

There isn't a built in way so you will need to create your own mapping. Item Identifiers can have the same name so you will need to ensure that the name does not overlap within your own solution. As a starting point you could create a dictionary that loops through the item collection and saves the mapping.

from which function i could get all Item Identifiers, not only available in inventory but also which could be added to inventory?

 

[Justin]

You can get all of the possible item identifiers from the ItemCollection. The ItemCollection contains an array of item types which are also item identifiers.

Inventory is being added now but player is not equipping. Do I need to do some thing else as well?

 

[Justin]

It's hard to say without stepping through the code but the bottom of this page gives an example of equipping an item:

Inventory - Opsive

The Inventory component keeps track of the ItemIdentifiers and CharacterItems the character owns. It also has some useful functions adding/removing ItemIdentifier amounts, adding/removing CharacterItems or . . .

i had made pikup prefabs for all inventory.
how i can call this prefab (which function i should call) via code to be acted like it is pickuped by player.

 

[Justin]

I'm not following - you don't call the prefab directly. The prefab is instantiated based on what is specified within the Item Type.

i have pickup prefab which is fine.
i want this prefab to be picked up by code. how i can do this?

 

[Justin]

Ah, you can call Inventory.PickupItem. Take a look at the ItemPickup script for an example.
