trouble with keys - TTLG Forums

I've created a new class under Key, with 2 new actors inside. When I frob them I get an ugly (null) instead of the InvName ... though the name appears correctly in the Inventory itself.

And second, I want to add one of them to the inventory from a script. I have used Weapons&Inventory > Add [1] [MyKey2] objects to the player inventory, and can't see why it wouldn't work.

Sigh.

That sounds kind of weird what you are doing there. :) Seems a bit like you have set them up different than described in the tutorial. Have you tried it yet?

cheers, yeah I found that thread after I posted, the problem was I was making T3-style keys which were object type IT_key. Making T1/2 style keys (which are set up as IT_item) fixed the above problems. Still get a (1) rather than a (Key) text displayed on screen when I pick up the keys, though ... shouldn't it just display the InvName there? But the script is working now that's the main thing ;)

With mine the InvName displays fine when you scroll through the keys, it's only when you frob it that the (1) displays. It's not a big problem though ... I can live with it :D
