Customize For Inventory Item Stacks

To customize the action menu options displayed when an item stack in the inventory is clicked, edit the ItemStack.actionMenuOptionsGetter field.

using Esper.Inventool.Items;
using Esper.Inventool.UI;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ActionMenuCustomizer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Sprite myIcon;

    private void Awake()
    {
        // Apply the customization on awake
        ItemStack.actionMenuOptionsGetter = MyActionMenuOptionsGetter;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates and returns the action menu options.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="itemStack">The item stack target to create the options for.</param>
    /// <returns>A list of action menu options.</returns>
    private List<ActionMenuOption> MyActionMenuOptionsGetter(ItemStack itemStack)
    {
        // Create a list that will contain the options
        var options = ItemStack.GetDefaultActionMenuOptions(itemStack);

        // Add an option
        var myOption = new ActionMenuOption()
        {
            // Set the button text (smallcaps is generally used for styling purposes)
            text = $"<smallcaps>My Option</smallcaps>",

            // Set the button color
            backgroundColor = new Color(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f),

            // Set its order in the menu (lower numbers appear at the top)
            sortingOrder = 0,

            // Create an on-click action
            action = () => Debug.Log("Do something"),
            
            // Display a small icon beside the text
            icon = myIcon
        };

        options.Add(myOption);

        return options;
    }
}

Customize For Equipment Slots

To customize the action menu options displayed when an equipment slot in the inventory is clicked, edit the EquipmentSlot.actionMenuOptionsGetter field.

using Esper.Inventool;
using Esper.Inventool.UI;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ActionMenuCustomizer : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Awake()
    {
        // Apply the customization on awake
        EquipmentSlot.actionMenuOptionsGetter = MyActionMenuOptionsGetter;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates and returns the action menu options.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="slot">The equipment slot target to create the options for.</param>
    /// <returns>A list of action menu options.</returns>
    private List<ActionMenuOption> MyActionMenuOptionsGetter(EquipmentSlot slot)
    {
        // Create a list that will contain the options
        var options = EquipmentSlot.GetDefaultActionMenuOptions(slot);

        // Add an option
        var myOption = new ActionMenuOption()
        {
            // Set the button text (smallcaps is generally used for styling purposes)
            text = $"<smallcaps>My Option</smallcaps>",

            // Set the button color
            backgroundColor = new Color(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f),

            // Set its order in the menu (lower numbers appear at the top)
            sortingOrder = 0,

            // Create an on-click action
            action = () => Debug.Log("Do something")
        };

        options.Add(myOption);

        return options;
    }
}
