it work... and im having a problem deleting the cards! I would be thankful for any help!

Can you explain how you want the delete interaction to work, and what you have tried so far?

When you click on item it goes into yr mouse pos...like it's in yr hand..I want to be able to delete the card in the table
when its in my hand....or thow it at the door to use!!! script (inventoryGui.lua) approximate line 194 I have a comment explaining!
Please if you can help in any way! Thank You! I do insane art if you need anything!


The table item is there..I just cant seem to access it and delete that card thats in my hand..but keep any cards already in inventory!
Basicly a card gets put into inventory..you can move it around yr inventory....throw it at trash rectangle collision box below...or throw it at door rectangle collision box....You basicly get cards and throw them at the playfield to fix the door and stuff..or throw them in trash!

if i understand your request, you need to
put this code in inventory.lua

Code: Select all

-- ix = index x, iy = index y in table
function inventory:removeItem(iy,ix)
	local stop = false
	for y=1,#self.arr do
		for x=1,#self.arr[1] do
			self.arr[iy][ix] = 0
			break
		end
	end
end

any time you want to delete an item from table(inv) just call
inv:removeItem(row,coulmn) put the exact row and column of the item, then the item will be deleted.

table.remove is better suited as it does not leave hanging elements around, 0 does not equal nil etc.

	local stop = false

			self.arr[iy][ix] = 0
			break
		end
	end
end

Hi. In that code the loops are redundant as you're not using the "x" and "y" variables.
The function can be reduced to just this line, "self.arr[iy][ix] = 0"
