Inventory replace item with fade animation

barbarabarbara
in Technical Q&A
Hi again!

Another little trick I'd love to be able to achieve in adventure creator:

I'm trying to highlight some clues in my players' inventory.

At the moment I automatically:

- open the inventory menu
- replace inventory item with a copy of the same item (except the graphic for the copy is a different colour)
- replace with first item again

It's working fine, but a bit abrupt and it would be more polished with a lovely little fade between each graphic change

Is that something that could be tweaked via code? 

Many thanks

    In fact - sorry about posting in the same thread - but is it generally possible to have the same properties as a Unity UI button for AC inventories?

    I'm talking especially about the "highlighted color" and fade duration!

    Oh - I found a better solution as suggested in another thread:

    add animator to canvas
    create highlight animation on button
    use object : animate to create highlighting fx

    Now all I need is to be able to trigger the action list with a mouse over (hopefully in next version as mentioned)

    Well actually I should have done more research. Looks like I can't play custom animation clips on my UIs because they are not present in the scene (or turned off)

    That error won't show if the Animator can't be found - only if the Animator doesn't have the requested animation clip.
