thanks a lot! I really appreciate the kind words :) also im glad you were able to understand it!

@@CodingWithUnity Same with me, Their tutorial were not bad but yours were exactly what I needed. Thanks for much for doing this.

same :D

Same :)

Honestly, same here! No hate to the others, but I was able to absorb this tutorial so much better.

THANK U SO MUCH 🎉❤ i was struggling for like 20 minutes using OnEnable and everything. This worked amazingly

Does he eventually address the limitations of enums? Not that I am complaining, this is good information, but the enums is a limitation for creating a dynamic "item" system.

Just make sure you always pick the right names for the fields and never change them again, because renaming a field inside of a SO will cause you to lose all your data. That's one nasty thing they rarely mention about SO. You rename a field, and your data is permanently gone (unless you have a copy, of course). So you need to use the horribly clumsy way with [FormerlySerializedAs] attribute, which is reminiscent of programming in 1970'es. Instead of adding a rename option directly n the inspector.

Thanks alot for the feedback :) Its comments like this that makes the content worth putting out

You've been freed from tutorial purgatory! Congratulations!

Can you do this in 2D?

That's awesome you got it working with a gamepad! Super cool Also thanks a lot for the kind words

im making a 2d game will this inventory work for me?

@@kdawgfsho04 Yes Of course

You got it to work with a gamepad! Could you maybe tell me how you did it? I'm hoping to make an inventory that way cause I want my game to have a retro, played on an old Playstation, feel with no mouse.

@@mysteriz_madi it’s been a year so I don’t know exactly what I changed to be able to do that however I do remember that I had to copy most of the mouse code and rewrite it for use with the controller. I’m not exactly an expert with coding, so I think you’ll be able to figure it out, but as of now I’d have to looks through the scripts to find out what I changed. I believe the majority of what I changed is in the userInterface script. Start with changing the click to a button press, you’ll need to make another gameObject variable similar to the one that holds the item when selected with the mouse. All I really did was copy all the input functions and refit them so that they can work with a controller. Recently I managed to break something (after it was working for the better part of a year) and the mouse no longer works properly, which is why I’m not sharing the exact code.

thanks a lot!

Much appreciated!

Glad you enjoy it! :D

Oh and now you do have the ads, gz!

Thats awesome to hear!

I wish the same for you. Glad the content has been helpful for you

Hope it helps you

Are you high? It sucks

​@@daryll4645 Well, I'm on the last video of the series and I still think they are great. Maybe not for everyone, but they are exactly what I was looking for. I watched many videos by bigger youtubers but they didn't go into enough depth to allow me to add the features I wanted to add to my game. These ones did, and at the same time, they improved my understanding of unity features such as scriptable objects, abstract and static classes, inheritance, event triggers, and serialization. They have their faults (a lot of refactoring, some confusing names...), but many get fixed later on, and the refactoring part is actually pretty useful for intermediate learners like me. These videos are a glimpse into the mind and workflow of someone more experienced than me and that is valuable. It's hard to become good at coding by watching very rehearsed and edited videos where everything goes right the first time, when so much of actual coding is trying things, getting errors, finding and fixing them, trying again, getting new errors, etc. Also, without that style, these videos might not even exist. I make videos teaching biology and the amount of work it takes to make an entire video is so high it's hard to finish stuff. This iterative process that allows the creator to upload videos even if the entire project is not finished probably allows the videos to exist in the first place. Most importantly: they are free. This kind of depth and length is what you expect from university-level classes or udemy courses, and it is free here on KZfaq. Suddenly finding something like it is worth commenting, as I did.

Great to hear!

I'm glad you managed to get it working!! Great work c:

Glad it helped you!

Glad you like them!

we have the same last name :P

Thats really awesome! Glad it helped

XDDD yee

Really appreciate the comment!

tbanks ;-;

Awesome, thank you!

it is a shame

@@CodingWithUnity Not to be overly personal, but do you mind if I ask why? Also I hope my comment didn't come across as a slight against you, that was not my intentional all. Just expressing genuine grief that such a talented didact isn't around any more.

@@infernumex Just been bussy at work. The videos may not seem like it but they take a lonnggggggg time to edit, so its been hard trying to figure out how to make the videos and work at the same time. I appreciate the comments tho and do plan on making more videos, just no clue when

@@CodingWithUnity I completely understand, making videos is a huge amount of work. Hope to see your return at some point!

Your welcome, you can check out the open game project unity is doing also. They use SO for their architecture in a lot of places as well

Glad it was helpful!

Not a bad idea though you'll have to remember to add it to your dropitem, useitem, and exchanging when shopping/selling to vendors. Though it's less performant, for tutorial sake this way covers all of the above. I believe I ended up putting mine into a coroutine for now.

No problem! Hope you like it

Coding With Unity Definitely. I know theres few issues on serializing scriptable object for inventory system that have gameObjects. Will you be focusing on saving system down the line? Love the fact you enjoy Runescape.

Yes ill make a video specifically showing how to serialize, save and load the scriptable objects

Coding With Unity Best youtuber right now. No bullshit haha ❤️

no problem! Thank you as well!

Thank you! OnTriggerEnter method was giving out errors, but this worked

Im glad I helped make your project a bit easier

didnt think about the grid layout component when i made it :)

For those wanting to use this approach, this is the DisplayInventory code: public class DisplayInventory : MonoBehaviour { public InventoryObject inventory; Dictionary itemsDisplayed = new Dictionary(); private void Start() { CreateDisplay(); } private void Update() { UpdateDisplay(); } private void CreateDisplay() { for (int i = 0; i < inventory.Container.Count; i++) { var obj = Instantiate(inventory.Container[i].item.prefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, transform); obj.GetComponentInChildren().text = inventory.Container[i].amount.ToString("n0"); itemsDisplayed.Add(inventory.Container[i], obj); } } public void UpdateDisplay() { for (int i = 0; i < inventory.Container.Count; i++) { if (itemsDisplayed.ContainsKey(inventory.Container[i])) { itemsDisplayed[inventory.Container[i]].GetComponentInChildren().text = inventory.Container[i].amount.ToString("n0"); } else { CreateDisplay(); } } } Remember to add the grid layout component in the InventoryScreen!

@@ignallacay I'm confused by Grid Layout, is that a script CWU made in a different video? or something inherent to Unity? ive got no errors but there are no sliders applicable to the script once ive applied it to the InventoryScreen

@@renzbolado153 Hey Renz, I just get to see the message, hope I got it on time. Grid Layout is a unity built in component. You'll find it easily by writing Grid Layout when adding a new component in the inspector. It will auto-arrange the child objects in the parent object with the Grid Layout component. You'll find the spacing, etc. variables in that component too. I also have a notification with another message about an error at the end of the code, but I'm not able to see the message, not sure if you deleted it

@@ignallacay does the grid layout component version work with drag and drop?

Enjoy!

You are very dedicated

Glad you like it!

You can for the most part strip the UI part out and remake that part and just use the backend Inventory logic, wouldn't be that much work because I'm only feeding info into the UI for the most part. (would have to figure out swapping items tho)

@@CodingWithUnity yea i think its easier when you go to the slot based system later so this should be decently easy to implement into mine. thanks again for these video buddy

You're welcome!

That's wonderful to hear!

I make this mistake quite often and is great to point out!

subscribed, and put the bell on!

thanks a lot! And a base building series would be cool to do, but no promises on if i will be able too

Awesome! Glad it caught your curiosity! Also thats a great idea! Ill most likely do that!

@@CodingWithUnity yo I always like to find ways for making the code as short and quick as possible, that helps out with readibility later on a bit :D
