Auto Equip Bow

[mrquaid]

I spent some hours trying to get this to work, so I figured I would ask on here.

I use a script to equip and unequip weapons through the inventory system, however I do not use its UI. Below is a snippet of the code I use to equip weapons. Melee, shooter, and shields all work fine, I fire the script and it removes the current one and auto equips the new one. Perfect except for the bow, it goes into the inventory and doesn't auto equip. Now if I use the vCollectableBow prefab and click E to pick up it will auto equip, but I don't want to have weapon pickups in my game, instead I want to use my script to do it. 

Anyone know how to auto equip a bow? I know it has something to do with ItemType since if I change it to Shooter it will autoequip just in the right hand messing up all the animations and such.  


var reference = new ItemReference(id);

reference.amount = amount;

reference.autoEquip = autoEquip;

itemManager.AddItem(reference);

Save_Manager.eWeapon = 25;

Do you have the archery enum setup? Other then that, the only difference between a bow and a gun is that the bow gets equiped on the left hand with a custom equip point. It's pretty hard to offer advice from 5 lines of a custom script. The only other thing i can think of is your using the right hand equip area number instead of left hand (think right is 0 left is 1)... you'll want to auto equip the bow like a shield in that case.

Thanks for looking, he is the entire script, again which works fine for all but archery. I thought indexOfArea would make a difference but it doesn't.

using UnityEngine;
using Invector.vItemManager;

public class Inventory_Manager : MonoBehaviour
{
public int id, amount;
public bool autoEquip = true;

private Save_Manager save_Manager;

public enum Type
{
UnequipItem,
DestroyItem,
DropItem
}

public Type type = Type.UnequipItem;
[Tooltip("Immediately equip the item ignoring the Equip animation")]
public bool immediate = true;
[Tooltip("Index Area of your Inventory Prefab")]
public int indexOfArea;

private void Start()
{
save_Manager = FindObjectOfType<Save_Manager>();
Save_Manager.eWeapon = 0;
}

public void AddWeapon()
{
var itemManager = GetComponent<vItemManager>();

print("Fired 3");

if (itemManager)
{
if (id == 25)
{
print("Fired 25");

var reference = new ItemReference(id);
reference.amount = amount;
reference.autoEquip = autoEquip;
itemManager.AddItem(reference);
Save_Manager.eWeapon = 25;
}
}
}

Can't seem to find where you are setting the Index area. You declared the variable, but how is the item manager to know what indexOfArea is? I see where you pass the itemRefrence(ID). Also you might want to make sure that in the inventory that the equip point is bow (as invector archery demo uses a custom bow equip point that's already configured).
