CS 101 Question-picking up items

Keith

I am sure this is an easy one but I can't quite figure it out.

The situation:
I have an underground bunker that has 4 keys in various rooms. I need to
pick up the key, add it to my inventory, and use it to open the door. Once used,
I want the key to be removed from my inventory.

What I have done:
I created 4 new "Special" items naming the items as such:

green_key.cit
red_key.cit
yellow_key.cit
purple_key.cit

In my bunker map, using the "Items" button, I added my 4 keys.

In my "Layouts", I added an "Inventory" picture and have the "Item Description"
and "Item List" visible.

I then added a "Game" menu called "Inventory" with an event link to an event called
show_inventory.

What Happens:
When running the game, I can walk over the key and it disappears, but it does not show up in my Inventory menu.

I know I am missing a step or 2 here, what is it.

Also, when a player goes up to a door that he/she does not have a key to, do I use
a conditional statement here???

Thanks in advance,
Keith

Hi Keith, in your list of items, double click on a key to bring up the item editor. The second tab is 'display.' This should have a picture of your key as it appears in the game and below that, you want to place a check in the boxes for take and remember. The 'take' box should place it in the inventory list and the 'remember' box should prevent the key from reappearing every time you return.

Now on the last tab of the item editor, click the button that says 'override default picture' and select the inventory picture you want to appear.

Next, create a global for each key.

When you get to the tile next to your door, change the tile event to something that goes like this:

conditional: is gb_redkey = 0? if untrue, end event.
(optional dialogue: "Oh no, the door is locked!")
conditional: does player possess key? if untrue, end event.
unblock door tile.
(optional animation: door opens.)
item wizard: drop key.
(optional dialogue: "I'm lucky I found that key.")
change global: set gb_redkey = 1

I think that should do it for you.
