How to create weapon/equipment inventory system
« on: May 10, 2018, 05:39:10 AM »
Hi,

I'd like to create a weapon/equipment inventory system for my 2D game.
What I want is for the character to be able to purchase weapons or equipment with virtual currency and use them in game scenes.
I've looked at some tutorials of Array making, but haven't found anything relevant to what I want to make, or the tutorials are pretty hard to understand.
Does anyone know if there is any better or seems relevant tutorial?
Please advise.
Cheers,
M

That is a very broad question. Use Datamaker for arrays, it's quite simple.

By the way, if you didn't understand the tutorials, how come you find them irrevelevant for what you want to make?

Because the result of the tutorial shows something different from what I want to achieve.
Anyway, is there a good tutorial about how to use data maker?
Cheers,

Hi,
Data maker is actually not using arrays, but using xml/json
But i believe it includes array maker (which can also be downloaded separately)

xml/json is actually good for an inventory system if you need multiple stats and they can be used in combination with some arrays (which would have the prefabs/materials in its list)

Thanks Guys,

It seems I need to do more research about all these so I could ask more specific questions.
Thanks for the link and advice!
