I cannot get the add icon command to work.

[Gambit. 84]

Can you explain it in a bit more detail? What happens when you try it?

[+ DarthVollis 59]

Nevermind I figured it out. The items are tied to the item database. That was not the idea I had but I can work around it.

[Gambit. 84]

Yes, they are. I didn't like it but I figured it would be the best way to handle specific icons and descriptions for each item.

cool script, uhm, is this only for items? how about skills, states, weapons and armors?

 

and is there an option to have an item not to show in the collection? example a dummy item that is not used in the game?

 

sorry i can't try it it right so i just wanna know

[Gambit. 84]

The intention of this script is to create a type of achievement system where you unlock icons as you progress through the game. The script essentially draws its data from a bunch of dummy items since I did not intend for people to use actual in-game items with the icon list. I chose to do this with items because I figured it would be easier for a game designer to input the icon and description using the database editor than it would be to create and expand an extensive setup area in the script header with each icon. So, what functionality would expanding it to skills, states, weapons, and armor add? If you wanted an icon to show up for a piece of armor, you could just add an item with an armor icon.

 

I think you are viewing the script as a completion script which tracks if the player has obtained each available item in the game. This is not the case. Instead, you tell the script which item to start at and how many items to include. So let's say items 101-200 in the database. These items just need icons and descriptions such as "Defeated boss 5" but they are dummy items in that they would likely not have any actual in-game use.

EDIT: The problem I was having was my own fault and this script does not have a problem that I can find yet. Sorry for that Gambit.
