Simple RPG Item Menu

Hello!

I'm trying to make an RPG system In Construct 2 for practice.

I want to make a menu where the player can see the items he has and their quantities in a list.

Here is an example-

What would be the most efficient way to approach this?

I'm good with variables and booleans, but anything more than that might be too much for me...

Is something like this possible to make?

there are at least two examples in the FAQ:

Really?

I can't seem to find one, all I see are in the drag n' drop style with grids...

Is there one that makes a list?

You create lists by making text objects..

You set the text from either variables or from an array..

Yes, but how I can I make a list scrollable?

If your items are in array you could just draw portion of the list comparing the scroll position. So in this case when you scroll the list you could make repeat loop 18 times from the scroll position that would be the first item to show. In this case Potion. Or if you want some fancy smooth scrolling maybe 2 after and 2 over what is shown and mask the areas. But really there are many options to do this

Here is an another example

Could you please make me a small capx with an example of what you are suggesting?

It would really help me understand better! thanks!

Thanks for the example even though it's different than I had in mind I might be able to modify it to suit my needs...

I really want to see Katala's suggestion in action though!

Thanks for the help guys!

Here's a rather complete example where I tried to replicate your screenshot as much as I could. No interaction with items can be done, but that wouldn't be hard to implement.

I ended up making it a bit differently since there was one nasty bug on the first one when the item count wasn't multiple of two (or the row width).

Maybe I could improve it at somepoint since it seems there is no tutorial for this type of jrpg inventory.

Thanks guys that's really awesome...

I don't really understand how you did these so neatly but at least now i have something to study!

Thanks again!

EDIT-

Hmm, I seem to have difficulty understanding what's going on...

Could you comment this project or maybe make a tutorial?

I think it would be helpful for others too.

Which section are you having trouble understanding ?

Wrote simple CAPX tutorial. Example is a bit modified and commented.
