How To: Crafting

[ageibert]

Hi @all,

i'd like to "insert" crafting into my game. Something like: I pick up item A and afterwards item B. If both find i can craft an item C from both.

Does anyone have links/infos or own experience how to implement crafting?

In order to make a flexible system I'd have a list of all valid combinations of items and the result:

 

recipes = [

{ list: ["a", "b"], result: "c"},

{ list: ["a", "a", "c"], result: "d"},

etc

];

 

Then it's just a matter of writing some code that runs every time the player's inventory changes which skims the recipe list to see if all the required items for any recipe are in the inventory.

Remember: the inventory changes after crafting as well as when the player picks something up!

I see. That's a good idea. I'll work it out. Thank you!
