custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2 VS UInv

I have the following code that opens a dialog box and let's the player select an item. It uses two different macros made by ChapelR: Simple Inventory v2 (https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2/blob/master/docs/simple-inventory.md#macro-linkedinventory) and Dialog API Macro Set (https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2/blob/master/docs/dialog-api-macro-set.md).

I'm working on a game that is pretty heavy on using timed and type macros. The type macros at the very least I can skip through by pressing space, and I'd like to do the same for the timed sections. I have the event macro from ChapelR (https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2/blob/master/docs/event-macros.md) and it's worked for other things. Does anyone know how I'd do this?

note: I strongly suggest you let Chapel know about this potential issue with the options() function on their custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2 GitHub reposition.

So I'm trying to insert my images in dialogue boxes (The macro I'm using for it is here: https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2/blob/master/docs/dialog-api-macro-set.md) Using a folder with images in my game folder. And for some reason no matter what I do the images don't show up even though i followed the code right.

So, I downlaoded the Custom Macro “Speech Box System” https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2/blob/master/docs/speech-box-system.md This Macro works using Java and CSS. I know how to edit CSS, but Java eludes me completely. The thing is, this macro lets me create a character and assing an image to show its avatar. I want to do that, but I need the avatar to change based on a Twine variable ($mood ) I know how to write the code in Twine, that is not the problem. But the .js is written in such a way, that the avatar section only works for images, so it does not allow a variable, even if the variable == an img . Can someone tell me what is it that I have to change in the .js? Thanks!

I'm working on a VN-style game in Sugarcube, and specifically trying to figure out dialogue boxes. I've been able to get pretty close to what I want, using the information from this link.

I've used Chapel's Event Macro to set up some hotkeys for easy navigation of my game. All went well, but I ran into the problem of what happens if there's a text input (<>) field on the screen: typing something in it could accidentally trigger a hotkey rather than what the player actually wants to type!

If you look in the UInv GitHub page, I uploaded a v0.9.7.3 bugfix release there which fixes that and a few other things. I just haven't put it into its own release package yet, though I probably should have.

Also, I should note that there's a bug in the v0.9.7.2 version of the BagHasAllItems(), BagHasAnyItem(), and GetAllBagPockets() functions, as well as failure to update UInv elements placed outside of a passage. I've just put up a UInv v0.9.7.3 bugfix release here (you can click the "Raw" button there and then save the page to download that code). Use that JavaScript code instead to avoid those bugs (though make sure you don't overwrite your aliases or your bag and item definitions).

For just about anything else, my Universal Inventory System (UInv) should be able to handle it (it's about 97% complete code-wise, though I really need to do a bunch of work on documentation, sample code, and testing).

Actually, I had a system like that in mind when I created my Universal Inventory System (UInv).

Yeah, it's a huge pain in the ass. I was working on building this feature into my Universal Inventory System (UInv) when I got stalled due to life stuff, so I've wrangled with this problem before.

I would look into u/HiEv's Universal Inventory System. Don't be too daunted by the sheer volume of documentation -- it might be overwhelming at first look but if you stick with it you'll be rewarded with an extremely useful inventory system with a very large volume of functions you can use to get, set and manipulate inventories and objects.

Specifically I'm using HiEv's Universal Inventory and use a function to add items to the inventory. This works in the "Start" passage and the item appears in the inventory no problem, but the same function will result in a maxed call stack if I go deeper into the game.

If you're interested, you might want to check out my Universal Inventory System (UInv), which is intended to be used in RPG games and the like. Admittedly, UInv isn't quite up to v1.0 standards yet, especially since the documentation and sample code needs a lot of filling out, however it's already perfectly functional in allowing you to set up and handle all sorts of complex inventories.

I also have an .addArticle() function (click to try it out) for doing that kind of thing included in my Universal Inventory System (UInv). If you want to, you could extract the .addArticle() code from within the UInv code to simplify writing your own macro.
