Shop inventory

[tanakorn]

First, thank you for this great inventory system.
I have a question about using CtrlInventoryGrid to build a shop system.
I have two inventories, shop inventory and user inventory. I do not want a player to be able to re-arrange the items in my shop inventory, but the player can also drag it to the player inventory or can drag an item from the player inventory to the shop inventory.
Is this possible in Gloot?

I read the code, and what I saw is the code that control this is _CtrlInventoryGridBasic, which is not exposed to outside nor configurable.

Unfortunately there's no way of preventing the player from moving the objects in an CtrlInventoryGrid without preventing all interactions (which I guess could be done by covering the inventory with a transparent control).

It wouldn't be hard to add something like that, but I'm hesitant to do so because I'm trying to keep the interface simple, while the use-cases for the feature would be somewhat exotic.

But if you're willing mess with the plugin code I can give you brief instructions how to add it yourself:

1. Add an enable_moving_items (or similar) property to ctrl_inventory_grid_basic.gd
2. Inside the _handle_item_move method add a check of the property that does an early return:

func _handle_item_move(item: InventoryItem, drop_position: Vector2) -> void:
    if !enable_moving_items:
        return
    ...

3. Add the same property to ctrl_inventory_grid.gd, make it exported and set its default value to true (the default value is important because the same code is used from the editor and you still want to be able to move stuff around when editing inventories)
4. Inside the _ready() function set the enable_moving_items property of the newly created _CtrlInventoryGridBasic:

_ctrl_inventory_grid_basic.enable_moving_items = enable_moving_items

(I haven't tested this, but it should work)
