How do i make a hotbar switch (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) between guns and flashlite?
Hi @thebosser24,
There are many ways to approach this, a simple one:
You can monitor what key was last released and set your active inventory item to that. Basically disable all inventories items, except the active one.
Pseudocode:
if( this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_3) ){
activeIndex = 3;
}
myInventoryItems.forEach( function(item, index){
if(index === activeIndex){
item.enabled = true;
}else{
item.enabled = false;
}
});

do i copy and paste this several times for each item, and how do i assign an item to each key, like flashlight=1 gun=2
how do I make an inventory
No, you can’t use it as it is, it was meant to show you example logic. You will have to adapt it to your code.

seudocode:

activeIndex = 4;
}
myInventoryItems.forEach( function(item, index){
if(index === activeIndex){
item.enabled = true;
}else{
item.enabled = false;
}
});
Can you share some of your existing code on how you handle your inventory / items?
If you don’t have any, my code isn’t of much use to you. For a UI interface the closest example I can think of is this:
https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/tutorial-shop-user-interface
what am i doing, i made a script, how do i attach it to gun
Is it possible to do a If press 2 enable Handgun, when press 1 disable handgun
im trying to do an inventory, is it possible to do that?
Hi @thebosser24,
It is actually possible you have to make UI for the inventory.
https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/user-manual/user-interface/user-interface-basics/
Then make a code for it so when you click it you go to the inventory.
@thebosser24 please use your existing topics about the same subject rather than creating new ones
i forgot this existed. im sorry
but i don’t want a user interface, unless I have to have 1
i want
When you press 2 it brings out pistol
when you press 1 it brings out flashlight
when you press 3 it brings out Shotgun
You can do something like below for every key.
if (this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_1) ){
this.app.root.findByName("Flashlight").enabled = true;
this.app.root.findByName("Pistol").enabled = false;
this.app.root.findByName("Shotgun").enabled = false;
}
SWEET, do i put this in its own script and attach it to each, or in the Movement script?
You can add it to your movement script.
so do i do this
if (this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_1) ){
this.app.root.findByName("Flashlight").enabled = true;
this.app.root.findByName("Pistol").enabled = false;
this.app.root.findByName("Shotgun").enabled = false;
}
if (this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_2) ){
this.app.root.findByName("Flashlight").enabled = false;
this.app.root.findByName("Pistol").enabled = true;
this.app.root.findByName("Shotgun").enabled = false;
}
if (this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_3) ){
this.app.root.findByName("Flashlight").enabled = false;
this.app.root.findByName("Pistol").enabled = false;
this.app.root.findByName("Shotgun").enabled = true;
}
Yes, exactly. Make sure the names of the weapons are the same in your scene.
do i add it at the end or initialize
when i switch weapons ccan it switch images(the crosshair)
Hi @thebosser24,
Put it in your update function like here:
But for your question
It won’t you will have to create a different script for that.
on line 46?
No, in your update function that was the script I have for my game which I just used for an example.
i did that, but does it stay enabled or do i have to make a script to disable it
