advanced inventory system/example 2 Ideas and feature requests

Question for all of you - Should I just sell this on the asset store or through my paypal or both?

For those of you who don’t know about my Inventory system please visit here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/90871-advanced-inventory-system-example to learn more about it. For those of you heres the scoop I’m not making a version 1.4 I’m jumping to version 2. Why? Cause I like C# better then Java and the previous version is in java so I’m starting from scratch all the previous features will still be implemented. The code is so far about 30 times shorter more then have the scripts have been reduced and grouped into shorter scripts. I;m also Using EditorGUI for setting the variables and things. I’ll be releasing a video onto youtube in the next couple days displaying the new look.

Now for the reason why I’m posting here I’m looking for ideas / features you’d like to see and weather or not I should actually sell this new version or keep it free. I do like open source but I need money. If I do sell it I won’t charge MORE then $10 cause I want it to still be affordable. Thanks every one.

Sell? Meh,
Will it actually have more/better features than the js one?

I have not looked at your system before, the points below are just general things that would motivate me to buy code.

What would motivate me to pay for code:

  • clean software architecture
  • clean code
  • xml doc comments
  • extensibility ( without the need to touch your code )
  • interfaceability ( being able to extend the functionality, without modifying your code )
  • event driven ( having hooks where i can put my own logic into )
  • price

These are just some of the things that would motivate me to buy code (middleware) at all.

There is no code touching you set all the properties in the inspector. And yes I am adding more features to it and it uses less code and fewer scripts to accomplish the same end result. So its way faster then the 1.x versions. Version 2 isn’t just code I’m using editor scripts to set up every thing. So it’s more visually appealing you only see what you need not what you don’t.

Java =/= JavaScript =/= UnityScript

It would be nice if you added a health script and attack script that worked with the damage and defence that you can equip to your character

In a tutorial video I will show you how to link health and damage to the inventory system. It’s very easy trust me :slight_smile:

Cool, will it work with the 1.3 version of you your Inventory?

And another thing. The crafting and storage box works but i cant take stuff out of them. Like when i hit craft i get an error saying inv2.Additem and something that it doesent work. Same if i am trying to take something out of a box

Version 2 is replacing the version 1.x series. Its a complete re-write and is written in C# this time not Java. So no it wont work for the 1.3 version sorry. And I noticed that glitch and its been fixed in version 2. Also the inventory for all objects is one script now, so in version 1.x we had a merchant inventory script, a chest script, etc not in version 2 its all controlled by one script that is highly optimized to give the same result with less/more efficient code.

Sounds good, but i cant pay for anything and if you are going to take cash for version 2 then im gonna have a problem…

I’m sorry to hear that but we need to make a living somehow and It’s only going to be $15. Do you have any skills I could use for the version 2 project? Cause I have 3 people helping me so far 2 modelers and a texture artist. I mainly need coders now for the more advanced scripts like saving to a database. All those who help get this for free. But only if I accept your help ^^

Im not the best coder. I can only code basic stuff. I might just buy because i just got a my own card :wink:

Tech video one is up on my website and youtube channel to view the video click here. I’m recording video 2 now. Which will go over the merchant and crafting systems.

Tech video two is up on my website and youtube channel to view the video click here
