First time out of the vault
Code:
leftHand := obj_pid(critter_inven_obj(dude_obj, INVEN_TYPE_LEFT_HAND));
rightHand := obj_pid(critter_inven_obj(dude_obj, INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND));
display_msg("leftHand:" + leftHand + " rightHand:" + rightHand);Should work, right? It works for the left hand. The right hand always return -1 for me, no matter what.
INVEN_TYPE_LEFT_HAND is defined as 2, and INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND is defined as 1, which looks correct to me.
If I change INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND to INVEN_TYPE_WORN, that line correctly returns the armor pid. If I change it to INVEN_TYPE_LEFT_HAND, it returns what's in the left hand. But INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND always returns -1. Doesn't matter what's actually in the hand.
Why?
Is it just me? Or can someone try and reproduce this? I'm using the script editor that comes with sfall 3.7b with basic optimizations.
If I grep the sources, that line is used in a lot of places.
EDIT: Tried with optimizations turned off, still returns -1 for rightHand. Also tried it from obj_dude script -- same thing happens.
EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT!
It's "working" EXCEPT not the way I expected.
critter_inven_obj(dude_obj, ... ) can return the object id of the item in the right or left hand, but ONLY when that hand is active. The OTHER hand (left or right) will always return something (didn't bother to check) which returns -1 when you try to get it's pid. Whether it works the same way for critters, I have no idea. Oh well. Engine limitation? It is what it is.
So there's no way to see what the player has in his offhand?
