Question by Icicles · Nov 13, 2018 at 06:11 AM · scripting problemscripting beginnerscripterror

Linking Image to item list

Hi guys, I currently have a button that generates random items to my inventory, currently the script only displays the text of the item and amount but I can't seem to find a way to link a image for each item. What would be the best way to approach this.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class ItemController : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public static ItemController Instance;
 
     public Item[] availableItems;
 
     public Text itemDisplayText;
 
     void Start()
     {
         if (Instance!= null)
         {
             Debug.Log("ItemController - Can only have 1 Instance!");
             return;
         }
 
         Instance = this;
     }
 
     public void GetItem()
     {
         Item item = availableItems[Random.Range(0, availableItems.Length)];
 
         InventoryController.Instance.AddItemToInventory(new ItemStack(item, 1));
 
         itemDisplayText.text = item.name;
     }
 }


Item Stack code

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class ItemStack
 {
     public Item item;
     public int amount;
 
     public ItemStack(Item item, int amount)
     {
         this.item = item;
         this.amount = amount;
     }
 }
 

and this should be the last relevant one

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class Item
 {
     public string name;
     public Sprite image;
 }
 

Thank You,

I don't fully understand, you already have the field 'Sprite image' in your 'Item' class. This should be totally fine and you should be able to assign the sprites in the inspector. When you build your GUI, where you probably also create UI.Texts for your item names, just also create UI.Images and assign those sprites accordingly.

@nurPunkt$$anonymous$$ichi Yes on my gameobject I can change the name and add a sprite to each name, but it does not display it, I think I need to add something in the first code.

Also the items are generating from a prefab if that helps.

I think scriptable objects is the thing you are looking for. Check this video should explain you enough but it will require some changes in your project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPXvoWVabPY
