SOLVED Inventory Following

[ThePlayerEden]

So I have this simple inventory code that I tweaked a bit from a Youtube tutorial, anyways, the inventory mechanics works fine in my starting room. The problem is when I leave the room, the items in my inventory go off-camera in the corner of said room, instead of the corner of the player's view.

I've tried multiple different ways of writing the code, but I'm no expert and honestly not too sure what is going on and how to fix it.

Here's a copy of the code:

//Code of "obj_item_manager"

***CREATE***
//....

//create the inventory
inv = array_create(0);

inv_max = 5;
selected_item = -1;   


//drawing and mouse positions
sep = 6;
screen_bord_x = camera_get_view_x(view_camera[0]) + 4;
screen_bord_y = camera_get_view_y(view_camera[0]) + 8;

***DRAW***
for (var i = 0; i < array_length(inv); i++)
    {
    var _xx =  screen_bord_x;
    var _yy =  screen_bord_y;
    var _sep = sep;
    var _col = c_white;
    
    //icon
    draw_sprite_stretched(inv[i].sprite, 0, _xx, _yy + 6*i, 4.5, 5);
    
    //get "selected" color
    if selected_item == i {_col = c_yellow;};
    draw_set_color(_col);
    
    //name
    draw_text_transformed(_xx + 6, _yy + _sep*i,inv[i].name, .5, .5, 0);
    
    //description
    if selected_item == i
        {
        draw_text_ext_transformed(_xx + 6, _yy + _sep*array_length(inv), inv[i].description, 8, 80, .5, .5, 0);
        }
        
    //inventory space
    draw_text_transformed_color(_xx + 1.6, _yy + _sep*array_length(inv), "/5", .25, .25, 0, c_white, c_white,  c_white,  c_white, 1);
    draw_text_transformed_color(_xx + .5, _yy + _sep*array_length(inv), array_length(inv), .25, .25, 0, c_white, c_white, c_white, c_white, 1);
    
    
    
    //reset color to white
    draw_set_color(c_white);
    }
    
***STEP***
//get selected item
selected_item = -1;
for (var i = 0; i < array_length(inv); i++)
    {
    var _xx =  screen_bord_x;
    var _yy =  screen_bord_y + sep*i;
    
    if mouse_x > _xx && mouse_x < _xx + 10 && mouse_y > _yy && mouse_y < _yy + 10
        {
        selected_item = i;
        }
    }



if selected_item != -1
    {
    
    //use an item
    if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left)
        {
        inv[selected_item].effect();
        }
    
    //drop the item
    if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_right) && inv[selected_item].can_drop == true
        {
        //get rid of the item
        array_delete(inv, selected_item, 1);
        }
    
    }
    

//code of the item/s

***CREATE***
item = global.item_list.potato;

***STEP***
sprite_index = item.sprite;

if place_meeting(x, y, obj_player)
    {
        
    if item_add(item) == true
        {
        instance_destroy();
        }
        
    }

Is your draw code in the draw gui event?

Is your draw code in the draw gui event?

[EDIT]
Yes it is, my bad, I forgot to put it down as that... Actually no, it isn't, I have another type of draw GUI in my player object.

So, I tired moving the code of to the draw GUI event, but it kind of messes with those and doesn't work the same...

If you move the code to the gui, then replace mouse_x with device_mouse_x_to_gui() and the mouse_y with its version, in the step even

Ah! That simply worked wonders! Thanks a bunch! I didn't know you had to change those to work in gui.
