How do you change the number of slots in the inventory?

[waheeduk]

I've changed the value of inventory_slots.size in the cogito_inventory.gd script, but this didn't seem to have any effect on the size of the inventory in the demo level.

func _init():
	resize_inventory(Vector2i(1,1))
	if inventory_slots.size() > 0:
		first_slot = inventory_slots[0]

func resize_inventory(new_size):
	inventory_size.x = new_size.x
	inventory_size.y = new_size.y

Is there another way to edit the size of the inventory?

change it here, either remove all the array, or match it how many slots u want and use the X to how much u want it to spread horizontally, the Y become obsolete

How would you do it programmatically? I wanted to make a way for the player to upgrade their inventory size over time. I'm able to change the size of the inventory from the editor but not from code.

Hey @waheeduk
Thanks for bringing this up, that's definitely a feature that should be included.
I'll try to add a backpack item that will update the player inventory size in a future update.

If you're attempting this yourself, keep in mind that inventories are custom resources, so you'll have to make sure to reference the player inventory specifically when manipulating it's properties.

I've just added an interaction component which lets you update the player inventory size in game: BackpackComponent
Please see: 3305d63

There's now an example object in the Lobby scene on the table in the break room. When interacting with it, the player inventory gets extended to what's set in the BackpackComponents properties. This directly updates the player's inventory resource, so it will "stick".
