Simple Point&Click Inventory Mechanics

Hi guys,

I'm really new to construct, so excuse my noobness.

I already searched the forums, but can't find something fitting.

I just have a static screen with a baground-picture.

Now I want to place objects there you can collect by clicking on them and they will appear in you inventory box.

Like in monkey island you know, but without a moving character.

I only found Mikey's Adventure Tutorial, which looks like a little too complex.

Do you have any tutorials for point&click mechanics or general

advice, how I should handle this?

hayungs, is this what you mean?

Click Inventory Example

Thx for your reply Wastrel.

Your example LOOKS like what I need, but it only imitates it.

It only changes the objects screen position on click.

I need something like: On-click -> remove item from screen -> let item appear on free position in inventorybox.

Later you should be able to use items from inventory with other objects on screen etc...

hayungs, I have updated the example to include what i think you are talking about. It's been a long while since I played anything like Monkey Island, so I'm a little unsure about the exact mechanics. This should get you started though.

Download from the link in my first post.

yes! that's looking very promising. Thx a lot.

We are looking for a game-programmer for this project, perhabs you could contact me via hayungs.de

Nice work Wastrel. I also was thinking of making a point, and click style game. This will come in very handy I think for a lot of people. Thanks for the nice example. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks — C2 is really nice for throwing something together and having it turn out pretty well.

Hi! I was looking for something like this and found this post.

What I would like to build is something like this example but that saves the items with name and value to a list on disk so you can call it back in other layout and combine items /use in other object. I don?t know if this can be done all using global variables or is it something else.

It can be done with WebStorage.

You just have to call it back later.

Seems the capx is no longer available. Is there somewhere I can get it?

Indeed the link doesn't work. As this post is referred in the "How do I..." FAQ, a new link should be provided, or the link should be deleted from here :

RPG Genre / Simple inventory mechanic for a click and play

This is a link from the "How Do I" thread. There is no capx available anymore.. =(
