Inventory

[theobjpo]

Code: Select all

inventory = { x=400, y=20,
}
function inventory.load()

end
function inventory.add(id)
	table.insert(inventory, love.graphics.newImage("Items/".. id ..".bmp"))
end
function inventory.update(dt)
	
end
function inventory.draw()
	love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0,120)
	love.graphics.rectangle("fill", inventory.x+37, inventory.y, 32*4+5+(4*5), 32*4+5+(4*5))
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
	if inventory[1] then
		for i = 1,#inventory do
			love.graphics.draw(inventory[i], inventory.x+i*32+5+(i*5), inventory.y+5)
		end
	end
end
function inventory.mousepressed(x,y,z)
	
end

As you can see I have those weird algorithms, is there any way of making them simpler?
Also, When you have 5 items, it draws them on the same y. How would I change this so after 4 items it goes to the first slot of the next y (inventory.y+5)?

Here is a post where someone helped me work out how to do pages of text; probably will help for this.

Well, inventory.y doesn't change in the for loop, so inventory.y+5 remains constant.
Consider using the local i, as you already do on x-axis.

Code: Select all

-- as before
 love.graphics.draw(inventory[i], inventory.x+i*32+5+(i*5), inventory.y*(i)+5)
-- as before

Err...Not sure I got this one. actually, what is weird in it, to you ?

You need a nested for-loop for that. Here's an example

Code: Select all

for y=1, columns do
    for x=1, rows do
            for i=1, #somerandomtable
                love.graphics.draw(inventory[i], inventory.x+x*32+5+(x*5), inventory.y+(y * 5))
            end
    end
end

Change columns and rows to the numbers you want.
It helps to plot before you do anything complex...
