Hey GIL,

I've set up the 4-slot shortcuts exactly like in the tutorials.
Now I'm trying to write a script based on what is actually held in those slots.
But I can't seem to get the exact syntax right.
How do I poll the slots to read the ID of the items in them?

Thanks as always.

Please don't open multiple threads for the same question, they'll be answered in time :)

You can get the shortcuts from your combatant's current shortcut list like this:
IShortcut shortcut = combatant.Shortcuts.Current[index];
if(shortcut != null)
{
int id = shortcut.ID;
}
combatant is your combatant (class Combatant), index is the shortcut slot index in the list.
IShortcut is a general interface for all shortcuts, you can also further check what kind of shortcut it is, e.g. for abilities:
if(shortcut is AbilityShortcut)
Or for items:
if(shortcut is ItemShortcut)

Hey, I just found this and I'm also writing a custom skill mechanic, but have no idea how to assign the skill to the UI slot I have already created. any light in the matter would be awesome!

By UI slot, are you refering to a Combatant type HUD using a Shortcut HUD element?

In that case, just assigning something to the shortcut slot of the combatant should update the UI.
