Inventory system

I don't know if this exists or not (I'm looking it up as I type this) but I believe we need an inventory system. I'm tired of losing all my guns and drugs because i have to leave the server. It'd be cool if there was some addon that would save that information on the server so I can "pocket" the items and come back with them still in the pocket. Of course I believe the inventory shouldn't drop when you die, only pocketed items should. Also, I think that it should have a limit on all that it can carry. It cannot carry full shipments, they have to be out of the box. Stuff like that...

I found something exactly like what I was talking about

I added theeese one. It looks cool. We'll see about the shipment saving.

Hey guys, the inventory system is on thar. It works perfectly Grea find. I need help making a swep for it though... like the pocket one, or noone will notice or use it.

Basicly I need it to make you say "!inv" when you right click to open the menu, and I need it to use the alt + e command that puts the item in your inventory when you left click.

I've been trying to figure this out all day. Anyone good at making simple sweps?

Maybe there is a console command to open the menu? Then you could have it something like "on fire, run concommand open_inv"... Something to that effect.
And I see that is exactly what you were asking for... lol. I'll attempt it. Nothing to do today at work.

I have the left click of the weapon open the inventory menu right now, but I'm still trying to get the item pick up with the left button working... The alt + e thing is a real killer.

I think you mis-typed, but it seems like you want to put two commands on the same button?
Also, instead of alt + e, it is actually sprint + use. So, have it run those two concommands. (No idea what they are, but sprint is a toggle.)

I tried that. Its alt + e .... I'm pretty sure... which is +walk and +use .

You got any luck?

Have yet to try anything. You could take a quick peek inside the inventory mod and see what alt + e runs from. Maybe it runs a console command from that like inv_pickup. I dunno. If not, make the function into a concommand.

I beleive I already tried that.

Its a function that gets called whenever the E key is pressed (+use)... Inside it then sees if the alt key is also being held down(+walk)... if both then try to pick up the item.
And no I couldn't see any command that it was attached to like the inventory menu was attached to the command drp_showinv .

As for making it into a concommand :/ I tried and failed.

Go into the addon, server, and the lua file in there. (Going by memory because I already deleted the addon)


Add

Code:

concommand.Add("drp_plyuse", plyuse)

after

Code:

hook.Add("PlayerUse","DrpPlyUse",plyuse)

And tell me how that works out.

It doesn't appear to work. :/

When I tested the addon ingame, I appear to be unable to pick up anything anyway... maybe that's the problem. (Meaning concommand worked but the addon doesn't)

Nah it worked perfectly for me and a few others on the server.

Maybe we could rip the save function from the inventory and add it to the pocket. That way the pocket still has a use. If we do make it save, we would also want to disable the auto-drop-pocket on death.
