Python Variable issue. I'm hoping this has a simple solution.

#1 Post by nhguy03276 »

So I've run into a bit of a snag in my inventory system I am working on. I'm trying to make equippable items panel, and so far it has been working as intended... except when trying to replace the already equipped item...

To add a item to inventory I'm using the call:

Inventory.Add(LeatherArmor)

To drop it:

Inventory.Drop(LeatherArmor)

To Equip the item I'm using:

Code: Select all

               if EquippedArmor == "":
                   equiparmor.add(self)
                   inventory.drop(self)
                   EquippedArmor = self.itemname
               else:
                   
                   inventory.add (EquippedArmor)
                   equiparmor.drop (EquippedArmor)
                   EquippedArmor = self.itemname
                   equiparmor.add(self)
                   inventory.drop(self)
 
But this doesn't work, at least on the re-equip, as inventory.add is looking at "EquippedArmor" as a string instead of Variable. Is there a way to tell the code it is a Variable and not a String? Or am I going to have to go a different route?

Ok, Found the solution... at least for this issue....

inventory.add (equiparmor.items[0])

Took me far longer to figure out than it should have... But it works now.
