Brackeys Inventory System doubts...

Questions & Answers

Hello all. I am using the Brackeys Inventory System for my project. However, I attempted to modify the health potion item into a magical scroll that fires a projectile and is then removed, similar to a consumable. This did not return errors, however does not have any effect whatsoever. And just to point out, I may be missing something, since this script is in JavaScript and I am only fluent in C#, however I do not have the time to convert the whole project.

Here is my (modified) code:

#pragma strict

//This script allows you to insert code when the Item is used (clicked on in the inventory).

var deleteOnUse = true;

var fireparticle : GameObject;
var lightningparticle : GameObject;
var iceparticle : GameObject;
var arcaneparticle : GameObject;


private var playersInv : Inventory;
private var item : Item;

@script AddComponentMenu ("Inventory/Items/Item Effect")
@script RequireComponent(Item)

//This is where we find the components we need
function Awake ()
{
	playersInv = FindObjectOfType(Inventory); //finding the players inv.
	if (playersInv == null)
	{
		Debug.LogWarning("No 'Inventory' found in game. The Item " + transform.name + " has been disabled for pickup (canGet = false).");
	}
	item = GetComponent(Item);
}

//This is called when the object should be used.
function UseEffect () 
{

	if(this.gameObject.CompareTag("HP")) {
		addHealth();
	}

	if(this.gameObject.CompareTag("FireballScroll")) {
		Instantiate(fireparticle);
	}

//	if(this.gameObject.CompareTag("LightningballScroll")) {
//		addHealth();
//	}
			
//	if(this.gameObject.CompareTag("IceballScroll")) {
//		addHealth();
//	}
							
//	if(this.gameObject.CompareTag("ArcaneballScroll")) {
//		addHealth();
//	}
													
	//Play a sound
	playersInv.gameObject.SendMessage("PlayDropItemSound", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
	
	//This will delete the item on use or remove 1 from the stack (if stackable).
	if (deleteOnUse == true)
	{
		DeleteUsedItem();
	}
}

//This takes care of deletion
function DeleteUsedItem()
{
	if (item.stack == 1) //Remove item
	{
		playersInv.RemoveItem(this.gameObject.transform);
	}
	else //Remove from stack
	{
		item.stack -= 1;
	}
	Debug.Log(item.name + " has been deleted on use");
}

function addHealth() {
	Vitals.health += 25;
}

function fireball() {
	
}

function lightningball() {
	
}

function iceball() {
	
}

function arcaneball() {
	
}

Thanks in advance! :smiley:

I’m not positive but instead of

Instantiate(fireparticle);

try (Whatever transform you want)

Instantiate (fireparticle, Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
