Item

Scripting with the Item class.

While it may seem like the Item class is the main class you'll be working with, it's actually not. Chances are, you'll be using the ItemStack class far more. Basically, the Item class is like an ID for an ItemStack, and the ItemStack class is what is the Inventory / Dismantling stores. Click here to learn about item stacks.

Creating Items

It's not at all recommended to create items at runtime, but it is possible. Items are scriptable objects which cannot be created as assets at runtime for later use. You would need to load your generated items on your own.

Item myItem = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Item>();

Item IDs must be unique. When creating items from the Items tab, unique IDs are set automatically. However, this is not done when creating items at runtime. You'd need to create your own method of ensuring IDs of generated items are unique.

Getting Items

Items created through the Items tab can be retrieved at runtime.

Get a Single Item

You can get an item by its ID or display name with the Inventool.GetItem method.

Item myItem = Inventool.GetItem("My Item Name");

Get All Items

var items = Inventool.GetallItems();

Creating an Item Stack

You can create an Item Stack from an Item with the CreateNewItemStack method. This method accepts a integer which represents the stack amount. Note that if an item is not stackable, it will always create a stack of 1.

// Create an item stack of 10
ItemStack myItemStack = myItem.CreateNewItemStack(10);

Getting Icon/Background

You can get a specific item image or background with the GetSprite and GetBackground methods. These methods are generally good to use because they will fallback to an available sprite if the one requested was not set.

var sprite = myItem.GetSprite(spriteType);

var background = myItem.GetBackground(spriteType);

SpriteType

Name	Description
Inventory	The inventory sprite.
SingleSlot	Single slot sprite.
Hover	The on-hover sprite.
KeyItem	The key item sprite.
Shop	The shop sprite.
