Small question about names.

So I have this key and it works but whenever I pick it up it says:

"Picked up"

How do I make it so it says e.g. key?

RE: Small question about names.

I think, but I am not certain, you have to link the item's name and description through your extra_english.lang file like this:

(does not include everything just that specific category)

<CATEGORY Name ="Inventory">
            <Entry Name="ItemName_Key01">Secret Key</Entry>
            <Entry Name="ItemDesc_Key01">A very SECRET key!"</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

Not sure about this since I have not tried it myself; but Journals/Notes/Diaries and most Texts is written in this file I would imagine same goes for items.

Then maybe use the function
SetInventoryMessage(string &asTextCategory, string &asTextEntry, float afTime);
or something.

RE: Small question about names.

You don't have to enter anything in the script, just fill in the field in the level editor. Tongue

CellarKey would be replaced by Key01 in your example.

[edit]By script I am refering to:

RE: Small question about names.

Oh that is MUCH easier. You can set description for the item as well? Too lazy to look for myself >_>

RE: Small question about names.

I don't know whether I get you right, but there is no way around adding entries to the extra_english.lang

<CATEGORY Name ="Inventory">
            <Entry Name="ItemName_Key01">This is the name you see when you pick the item up and is also used as title in the inventory</Entry>
            <Entry Name="ItemDesc_Key01">This is the item description you see in the inventory</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

RE: Small question about names.

Oh nevermind! I get it now, thought the CustomSubItemTypeName was the actual name the item would get but that filter IS the link to the extra_english.lang. Crystal clear.
