Godot 4.4
I want to make it so that when you pick up a certain item in my 2D platformer. It will be added to your inventory. I already have a functioning inventory, I just don’t know how to add an item to an inventory slot when a certain thing happens.
Currently, I have the inventory file as a .tres file
Here is the code and node layout for my Inventory
And here is how I have my inventory slots coded and laid out
You didn’t show your code that handles the deletion of the item from the world after colliding with the player and the player script itself. These play an important role here.
Please also paste your code using preformatted text in the future.
In general, the code looks good so far, only missing a couple bits to make it fully functional.
Ideally, in your Player script, you should have a reference to the Inventory object.
Then, after colliding with the player, you access the inventory reference and add the item to your inventory.
The logic of adding the item to the slot can be a simple for loop checking each of the slots and if there is an empty slot - update the visual to show the correct item.

Here’s the code for the item deletion:
extends Area2D
func _on_body_entered(body):
if body is PizzaBoy:
queue_free()
And here’s my player script so far:
extends CharacterBody2D
class_name PizzaBoy
@export var WALK_SPEED = 300.0
@export var JUMP_FORCE = -480
@export_range(0, 1) var DECEL = 0.2
@export_range(0, 1) var ACCEL = 0.2
@export var RUN_SPEED = 400.0
@export_range(0, 1) var DECEL_JUMP = 0.5
@export var inv: Inv
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
# Add the gravity.
if not is_on_floor():
velocity += get_gravity() * delta
# Handle jump.
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Jump") and is_on_floor():
velocity.y = JUMP_FORCE
if Input.is_action_just_released("Jump") and velocity.y < 0:
velocity.y *= DECEL_JUMP
var speed
if Input.is_action_pressed("Sprint"):
speed = RUN_SPEED
else:
speed = WALK_SPEED
# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
# As good practice, you should replace UI actions with custom gameplay actions.
var direction := Input.get_axis("Left", "Right")
if direction:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, direction * speed, speed * ACCEL)
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, WALK_SPEED * DECEL)
move_and_slide()
I’ll try and do what you say with putting the item in an inventory slot, once I get the chance. Thank you for the help.
