Hey there. I'm currently programming a small 2D, RPG game and today I have included a function which opens up an inventory.
So the problem is that whenever I press any key, the inventory closes. Is there a way to avoid this and allow the user to interact with the inventory window as long as it is open?Code:void OpenInventory()
{
if(key [KEY_I])
{
draw_sprite(backbuffer, inventory, 500, 250);
readkey();
}
}
I rather think that before anyone is going to take you very seriously you're going to need to clean up your avatar and your signature...
That's some pretty offensive stuff.
Done. Thanks for pointing it out. Didn't realise that it could be offensive to someone.
I'm not sure.. but in the examples I was learning with, the readkey comes at the end(I assumed to exit) So maybe when you press I, it calls readkey and immediately shuts down?
It shuts down immediately, yes, but it does that with any key while it's only supposed to open/close when the "I" key is pressed. However I've solved this problem by making a fixed sidebar in which the inventory is always open and it swithces to the skills interface if you press the "S" key.Quote:

Do not put blocking commands in the loop as it will cause performance issues if you are doing anything in the background.
