Show an item in inventory when you pick it up.

Hello!

I want to let the player know when they have picked up an item, by showing the inventory and the object to be highlighted. I followed the instructions here https://adventurecreator.org/forum/discussion/7384/inventory-element-show

The only way I was able to get the Inventory to show was to set the Inventory Menu to Appear Type: Manual. This works as intended BUT I also need to have the Appear type: Mouse Over so when the player moves their mouse to the top, it shows the inventory.

How do I get both features?

Thanks!

There's a couple of ways.

One is to alter the Menu's Appear type through code:

AC.PlayerMenus.GetMenuWithName ("Inventory").appearType = AC.AppearType.Manual;
AC.PlayerMenus.GetMenuWithName ("Inventory").appearType = AC.AppearType.MouseOver;

Alternatively, you can leave it as Manual and create a "dummy" Menu that takes up the same space as it, set it to "Mouse Over", and then run ActionLists when it turns on/off to also turn on/off your manual Inventory menu.

The "dummy" was the best method for what I needed. Thanks!
