Hi,
I am now trying to:
- Make it so when mysprite overlaps with a tree, it shows its status bar, and when the character walks away it disappears.
I’m actually making some progress! However, now I’ve got this blinking issue of the status bars…
What I did was: on game update every 500ms, the game checks whether mysprite is overlapping with any of the trees. If it ISN’T; it makes ALL the status bars for the trees invisible…
When my sprite overlaps a tree, it makes THAT status bar visible…
I’ve tried putting in a variable with an IF statement on the game update 500ms but I haven’t got it quite right.
Thoughts?

Instead of looping over all of them, you just want to turn invisible on for the status bar attached to the sprite you’re checking. Like this:

Omg it seems so obvious now! Thanks.

I am working on a dual-type inventory system…
The first part is with text sprites and the other is with regular sprites… I am using Text Sprites for an inventory system for collectible resources (such as wood, stone, ores etc)
They seem to behave as lists? How can I create an array of an array so that when I want to add more ‘resource’ types, I can just append them to this list?
Best wishes
Woody
Here’s the updated source so far… please ignore the random floating sprites (they’re a start of my inventory components…)

@WoodysWorkshop you can just place another array block inside of the first one! We actually did something like this on stream yesterday. We wanted to create a schedule where each day of the week had an array of numbers. Here’s what that code looked like:
The inner loop in this case is filling each day of the week with “-1” which we decided meant “nothing is scheduled”
