If player has tinderboxes

[JPiiONEFOURONE]

Hey guys,

When interacting with an entity, I only want the function to work if the player has 1 or more tinderboxes in his/her inventory.

I have tried the following, but it doesn't work.

Code: (Select All)

void MyFunc(string &in asEntity)
{
    if(HasItem("tinderbox"))
    {
        Do something;
    }
}

I understand why it doesn't work, it's because the tinderboxes aren't internally named "tinderbox", so, is there another way I can check if the player has tinderboxes?

Thanks,

I think it should be:

if(HasItem("tinderbox") == true)

edit: Nope, sorry

I think it should be:

if(HasItem("tinderbox") == true)

I don't think so, it works with other items.

If I'm not mistaken tinderboxes don't work the same way as other items, but I'm not sure

If you want to keep track of tinderboxes, use a global map variable that increments whenever you interact with a tinderbox, then compare against the global map variable.

Is there a way I can print the value of this variable to the screen for debugging purposes, or any way I can see the value in-game?

Well, there's the debug menu in-game. Select the "Player info" or something like that. Looking closely at the "self-updating" wall of text, there's a line. "Tinderboxes: #". The # stands for numbers (0, 1, 2, etc. you get the idea).

Debug menu is F1, I think.

How can I get my own custom variable to show on the player info?

Well, that is something I do not know. You can try using a debug message in your script.

Code: (Select All)

AddDebugMessage(string& asString, bool abCheckForDuplicates);

You need a language file (the one used for the custom story)

AddDebugMessage does not need the language file to operate. Just write like

AddDebugMessage(GetLocalVarString("TinderBoxAmount"), false);

and it'll tell you the exact amount of tinderboxes acquired during the run-through.

Need to set up a debug profile though!
