every single object that has been placed in the world has the potential of being picked up and added to the player’s inventory.<\/p>\n
A new action would have to take care of hiding the object and spawning a new inventory item (perhaps a new subclass of cp407object).<\/p>\n
The visual representation of the inventory could at first be a simple list, displaying all the items a player has in his\/her possession.<\/p>\n
a next step would be to replace the list by thumbnails (RT previews of each object – in which case subclassing CP407Object would make sense).<\/p>\n
Objects in the inventory can be placed on the floor via drag&drop<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
weight: a thought – each object consists of a certain material that has a specific weight. The object weight is calculated by multiplying the specific weight with the volume of its bounding box. That way, objects of the same type but with a larger bounding box get heavier, increasing the chance for players not being able to pick them up. It wouldn’t make much sense if players could pick up cars or trees.<\/p>\n
another thought: aging items: consider a seed item a player has in his\/her inventory. As long as it’s in there, nothing happens to it. If however, the player puts the seed onto (or into) the ground, it starts growing, building a tree, bush, flower, etc. with time.<\/p>\n
This principle could be applied to all kinds of objects, such as food items going bad, items that are seasonal or dependant on a certain environment (ice cubes – as soon as they are picked up, they start melting, gradually turning into a puddle of water)<\/p>\n
In order to achieve that, each object has a birth timestamp. Whenever the age is queried, that timestamp is used to compute the object’s age.<\/p>\n
Certain objects would need an ‘update’ callback that updates their age without it being queried.<\/p>\n
example:<\/p>\n
class CAgingItem\u00c2\u00a0\r\n{\r\n\u00c2\u00a0 void UpdateAge()\r\n\u00c2\u00a0 {\r\n\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 m_iAge = CurrentTime() - m_iBirthTime;\r\n\u00c2\u00a0 }\r\n}<\/pre>\nThe ‘UpdateAge’-Function gets called periodically (1\/s?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
