Bowsers Fury inventory system (1.2.0 update)

[Coldcolor]

hi, this is my first post on this forum, so please let me know if i did anything wrong.



I would like to present to you something that took me about a week to make:
Bowser's Fury inventory system

you have a limit of 10 mushrooms and 5 of every other powerup (you can change this in inventory.lua)
when you collect a powerup you already have, it will go into your inventory.
when you collect a new powerup, your old one will go into your inventory.
press the drop item button to open and close the inventory
press the jump button to select a powerup

and that's basically it.

changelog

Spoiler: show

1.2.0
- actually made it compatible with littledialogue, as well as any library involving isPausedByLua(). it will no longer break when you press the item drop button while the game is paused.
- fixed powerups going into your inventory when they "die" in any method other than collecting it

1.1.0
- made it so when you change the minimum amount of a powerup to 1 or higher, you can use that powerup infinitely.
- fixed the leaf icon when you dont have any leaves
- fixed the numbers centering when you have 10 or more of a powerup
- included a test level so you can try it out

Will it be possible to add items that modify inventory limit on the fly, like mushroom containers etc? So player will start with, maybe 1 slot for mushrooms and can find items to expand inventory.

yes it can!

This is pretty incredible work dude. I can see it being used for "Metroidvania"/exploration-based episodes, making open-world levels less of a hassle to explore.

could you make it work with base hud cause it hides the hud?

could you make it work with base hud cause it hides the hud?

if you go into inventory.lua, just scroll down to line 92 and delete "Graphics.activateHud()". the hud should reappear, but the item reserve box wont do anything.

just in case you arent using any IDEs or you cant see the line number, you can do ctrl+f to search for it.

I tried that and got a debug screen so I just did "Graphics.activateHud = true" and it worked.

I just added an update that should fix some bugs!

This is outdated. Use simpleinventory.lua instead.
