To make items that are picked up visible in your inventory you need to do the following:

  • You need a saved map, on which the inventory and items are working.
  • Go to "my_stuff/packages/base" folder.
  • Create a new text document and rename it to "yourmapname.cfg" (NOTE. The conguration file needs to have exactly same name as the map you want it to work for)
  • Open the cfg file. Preferably in ConText or Notepad++, it is possible to do it in notepad, but not recommended.
  • Write the following to the cfg file:
   items = 0
   level_trigger_1 = [
   echo "You picked something up!"
   coin = (+ $items 1)
   ]
   newgui main [
      guilist [
         guilist [
            guibutton "Inventory" "showgui inventory"
         ]
         guibar
         guilist [
            guibutton "Unload This map´s UI" "newgui main [@main]"
         ]
      ]
      guibar
      @main
   ]
   newgui inventory [
      guibutton "Back" "cleargui 1"
      guibar
      guitext (format "You currently carry %1 items with you" $items)
   ]

The example is made so that you are picking up items, but you can change that and add in stuff.

  • Save the cfg file.
  • Now when You have set up the Inventory you need to open Sandbox and load the map you made the configuration for.
  • Place a mapmodel and select it.
  • Press F3
  • Set the "trigger type" 12 so the item can be picked up.
  • Set the "trigger tag" x (x is the number you wrote in maps cfg (level_trigger_x)) In current example 1
  • test the map, If you did everything right you should be able to see how many items (or sth else) you have :)
