Inventory Question

[dannyf127]

I want to create some form of factory that allows me to create Item tables very easily. If anyone could help me with this, give me some knowledge about this, I would highly appreciate it.

I'm going for something like

Items = {
["playermodel1"] = {Name = "Model1", ClassName = "somemodelpath", Description = "This is model 1", Callback = function(ply) ply:SetModel("somemodelpath") end},

["weapon1"] = {Name = "Weapon1", ClassName = "someweaponclass", Description = "pew", Callback = function(ply) ply:Give("someweaponclass") end },

}

Another potential problem I may run into is storing the inventory, would I just write keys into a table, save it, then use those keys to reference items in the Item table?

Also I'd like to apologize for being extremely bad at explaining things. I'm very tired, as always.

If you want to easily create item tables, just make a function to do so. I'm having a hard time understanding the rest of your post.

I've actually never done a function like this before, can you whip me up an example?

Using an item table for an inventory, how would I go about saving the inventory, and reading it?

Something like this.
[lua]local function CreateItem(name, className, description, callback)
return {Name = name, ClassName = className, Description = description, Callback = callback}
end

local newItem = CreateItem("Model1", "somemodelpath", "This is model 1", function(ply) ply:SetModel("somemodelpath") end)

print(newItem.Name)[/lua]
A lot of what goes into an inventory system is just in the way it's designed. I don't know how you are designing it, so I can't say how you would go about saving it and loading it.
