Detect and remove an item from inventory

[grimmsdottir]

Hello, I am trying to create a character who has a blaster. I was wondering if it is possible to check if the player has a certain item(charged batteries), then remove a certain number of those batteries, and then add back in uncharged batteries?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can use player.components.inventory:FindItem(itemtestfunction) to iterate the players inventory, it returns the first item found. "itemtestfunction" receives every item as parameter once and has to return true if the item matches the criteria.

 

Then, if there is an item found, you can simply use inst:Remove() and give a new item to the player using player.components.inventory:GiveItem(SpawnPrefab("myitem"))

@Mobbstar Alright, thanks for the help. However, I am not quite understanding what you mean by 

 

 

"itemtestfunction" receives every item as parameter once and has to return true if the item matches the criteria.

an example:

player.components.inventory:FindItem(function(item) return item.prefab=="battery" end)

so the game will just go over each item in your inventory and use this function on them:

function(item) return item.prefab=="battery" end

and if this returns true(in this case, if the prefabname of your item is "battery") then FindItem returns that item. Edited May 14, 2015 by Seiai

Thanks for replying, but I am still not quite able to pull it off.

 

Right now, I have this in my code:

local function onattack_blaster()	ThePlayer.components.inventory.FindItem(function(item) return item.prefab=="item_battery_charged" end)	end

and it crashes with this in the log the moment I call that function

Am I still not using it correctly? Take note that I am modding for DST

Alright, now I have a new problem. The I can find, remove and replace the batteries. However, the batteries are and should be stackable, and it is removing the whole stack of batteries. It does however, only remove one battery if there is only one in a stack. How would I make it so that it only removes a certain number of batteries?

local function onattack_blaster(inst, attacker, target, skipsanity)	if ThePlayer.components.inventory:FindItem(function(item) return item.prefab=="item_battery_charged" end) then		ThePlayer.components.talker:Say("I have a charged battery")		local batt = ThePlayer.components.inventory:FindItem(function(item) return item.prefab=="item_battery_charged" end)		batt:Remove()		ThePlayer.components.inventory:GiveItem(SpawnPrefab("item_battery"))			else		ThePlayer.components.talker:Say("I do not have a charged battery")	end	end

I see. Luckily the stackable component has a function for that:

inst.components.stackable:Get(1) --returns one item of the stack

if u still have problems, look for something similar.

like for example food.

which u consume with the Eater component's function Eat.

Oh, alrighty then, I guess that wraps it up. Thanks to the 2 of you.
