ill tae this one, as i had LOTS of trouble working out what did what.

if your dealing wiht a item (that most people are!) then to make the BMicon appear in the corner of the screen the line of code to turn on and off is.


SetInvActivated(player, bin, boolean);


incase you dont know the boolean is 0 for off, 1 for on

Also make sure that you have the BMs placed in the correct folder of your GOB/GOO file ([root]/UI/BM) I think is the directory hierarchy, off the top of my head...).

Oh - just another thought - make sure (if they're custom BM icons that you name them appropriately in accordance to how the naming conventions work with items in the "items.dat" file; I think it's something like "ic<<next 5 digits of BM name here>>". The naming structure is detailed in the actual "items.dat" file, so you don't have to worry if you didn't understand what I just wrote - just follow their example http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif

problem with using it as an inventory item is i have another icon set for the inventory item, and all the item COG is supposed to do is display the BM when activated. no worries though, i'll figure something out.
