GiveItem(); vs. GiveItemFromFile(); - ehovda321 - 03-16-2013

OK, here is the situation:

GiveItemFromFile("battery_1", "item_battery.ent"); = This function gives me batteries in a STACK.

GiveItem("battery_0", "item_battery.ent", "battery", "inventory_battery.tga", 1); = This function gives me batteries ONE at a time in the inventory... ?

Is there any possible way to change the "GiveItem();" function, to make the batteries be given to player in a STACK ?

Here is the item_battery.ent :

RE: GiveItem(); vs. GiveItemFromFile(); - Your Computer - 03-16-2013

Try changing "item_battery.ent" to "LampOil" for GiveItem and see if that resolves anything.

Or just use GiveItemFromFile multiple times if you want to give the player lots of batteries.
