Current version of Item Manager not working with Unity?

[coolguyplatinum]

I followed the docs and tutorials and followed this thread. My character's health still doesnt go up when collecting potion.

Hp does not go up by collecting, you must equip the potion in the consumable slot then you can use it by the “u” key.

I'll give that a shot Chronicman. But what if I just wanted to use it just from picking it up?

[Chronicman]

That would require code modification. You could use the old health item and just change the appearance and update the database. That is just a theory tho.

[coolguyplatinum]

So its working now but it seemed to make my character collision capsule act weird. The capsule collider stopped working. Character sinks through ground when I add the item collection script.

[Chronicman]

That’s weird should not effect that at all. Check your item manager events again make sure something wasn’t miss clicked. Are you using the new potion or old health item thing ?

[coolguyplatinum]

Yeah I think I did somethin wrong with the events. Using both item methods.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Invector.vItemManager.vCheckCanAddHealth.CanUseItem (Invector.vItemManager.vItem item, System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Boolean]& validateResult) (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/ItemManager/Scripts/Examples/vCheckCanAddHealth.cs:58)

[Chronicman]

are you getting that error only on the old item method, if so try removing the events and try it again. You may only be able to use one method I’m not sure this is unexplored for me.

[coolguyplatinum]

I got everything all up and running. It takes a whole lot of trial and error in the end. I'm glad you guys are here to help, but docs and tutorial vids get outdated so fast that you really have to test out new methods yourself.

[Chronicman]

Well I’m not part of the Invector team and yes the docs need to be updated a bit but that’s a good thing. For one you know the dev keep updating the project and two you learn a lot more when you fumble. May I ask how you solved it ? Just in case this comes up again ?

[Invector]

There is an example in the Basic Demo scene of an item (not from the ItemManager, just a simple collectible) that recovers health via OnTriggerEnter

[coolguyplatinum]

Besides having the item manager script on the character, make sure to also have the following:

inventory check item prefab

vcheck item is equipped script

vcheck can add health script

other stuff in the hierarchy should be:

item collection display prefab

any health and weapon prefabs to test with.

Thanks for the information Invector.
