Notes
Important Update / Notice
About this version…
This is only v1.1, and its not fully complete, so I’m really sorry if its still bug ridden. Im going to continue to work on it.
Contributing
You may contribute to this asset by making edits and making pull requests via the posted repository above. If you can’t code yet, however, you may make bug reports, I want this to be as good as possible, so many can enjoy it.
Safety
I can assure you this isn’t a virus. I have not needed a require() when making this. So if you find one in the code, the one you got isn’t the real one.
Incompatibility
So far nothing is incompatible with this model, So it should be fine when putting it in your game.
Other than that,
I hope that you find this asset useful when making your own games!
Fixes
v1.1.2 - Several changes made, please visit GitHub repository for more info
Added a attribute to the GUI object that allows you to limit how many cells can be at the hotbar
Made the hotbar background invisible, this can be changed
you can still use Player.Backpack and put tools in the backpack, or use :EquipTool or :UnequipTools, or :SetCoreGuiEnabled(Backpack, false) with this right? this functions exactly the same as the base backpack but just looks different?
Yes, This is supposed to work with
:EquipTool() and :UnequipTools()
However, this uses :SetCoreGuiEnabled(Backpack, false) to replace the old UI with the new one
The UI is way too big, and the white outline of the UI looks bad in my opinion. I’d say just make it look like the normal one, round it a bit, add a bit of tweening, and there you go. Also the tool hover UI looks like there’s no space for the text, and the positioning is awkward.
I’d just say when you hover over your inventory, just make the text follow your mouse and the frame background be transparent. TextStroke is good enough.
Also, the menu for the backpack that pops up when you press " ` ", the tween for it coming up into position like that is slow and choppy, because when it goes back down, the UI shrinks and it makes the X button and the scroll bar collide, making it look bad.
I’d just like the idea of it tweening into transparency instead of going up and down, because if UI like this were used in realistic games, it’d stand out and look cartoony.
More onto the hovering, when you hover over the tool (with it being deselected), you can see a bit of clipping.
There’s more clipping with the tool icon and the search frame, and there’s also clipping between the search frame and the other frame.
Also why is there a background for the UI?
Anyways, I’m finished criticizing. I see a lot of potential in this and maybe customization would fix all these issues. Looks good and could fit into many games if just configured right.
About the UI animations. IMO, they do not look cartoony, but this is subjective I assume. I feel this is more modern, plus I’ve seen this type of slide animation used in modern UI animations before. However, this is, like I said, subjective and It really depends on the game, in just making this while having the design principles of the new Roblox UI for the client in mind.
The clipping is my fault for believing that the UI corner would affect clip descendants. I’ll fix it soon
to be fair I also don’t know why I made this design choice… I will fix it soon.
I think this is a better design choice as well. Something ill take into consideration
This is something that I’m trying to fix as well.
Once again, I thank you for your criticism. I will try to fix these in v1.2 soon.
oh, that’s Roblox new toolbox update if I’m not wrong.
if you don’t have the update, is probably because it’s still in beta, but i think they released it out to everyone already
im unsure if you’re still updating this, but there seems to be a bug where if you have items with the same name it’ll make unequipping and reequipping the item not work and stacks the items together
Kinda sorry for this, but didn’t think I wouldn’t have any time to keep this model up.
So I’m discontinuing support for ReInvent. If you like to improve on this, feel free to! ReInvent will forever stay open source, feel free to fork this and make it your own.
If you do fork this, there is a bug where duplicated items in your backpack do not show in reinvent when intended. You can choose to fix that if you want
One again I apologise if anyone expected this to be upkept
