GB Studio Equip System Template (x5 Item Slots)

This template and tutorial allows you to be able to have a 5 slot Equip Menu UI System below of your screen in GB Studio. 

Below are downloadable files that contain the Equip System Template.

(Made in GB Studio 3.1)

Try the DEMO to have a feel of the system.

Press Start, walk around and press B (controller) or x (keyboard) to make the Equip Menu UI pop up. Press B/X again to close menu. Once menu is open you may move left and right to select which item/weapon/tool you want to use.

WARNING: THE NUMBER OF EVENTS IN THIS SYSTEM ARE A LOT. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO MAKE IT WORK SMOOTHLY. ESPECIALLY SWITCHING ANIMATION SPRITE SHEETS AND ANIMATION STATES FOR THE FIRST TWO ITEM SLOTS WHICH I MADE INTO A SWORD AND PICK-AXE EXAMPLE. PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IF YOU ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

Features (and reminders):

1. This template provides a 5 slot weapon/tool/item Equip Menu UI at the bottom of your screen.
2. All scripts/events are within the Cursor Actor of this system located in the OnUpdate section
3. I only provided a sample weapon and tool for the first 2 slots of this system so you can get a feel of it and see in the events how I created them.
4. You may recreate your own equip menu look and just apply the sprite settings I have so you'll have your very own customized Equip Menu UI.
5. Slots 3,4 &5 all have scripts in them inside the cursor actor (on update). All you need to do is create animation sprite sheets respectively and apply it to those item slots. (Study Cursor actor On Update script to see what I mean)
6. The scripts and formulas are readily made so you don't have to worry about that anymore. If you're a beginner and still learning. I suggest for you to tinker with the project and understand how everything works.

Limitations:

1. This Equip system is limited to only 5 slots because of space limitations and the cursor placement (it would be difficult to make a cursor actor overlap some other boxes)
   
2. I created 2 different animation sprite sheets of the actor holding a sword and holding a pick-axe so you may copy them to apply them to this system for the 3 other item slots.

Do as you wish with how this template works, you may tweak it, copy and apply it to different kinds of projects or even place it in a different position, it may work on right side or even the top part of the screen if you like. You'll just have to tweak a lot of stuff in positioning.

If you're having a hard time to make it work. Just copy everything to the dot then work from there :)
