Question

Helloooo :3

Ive been at this for about a week and still cant figure it out :,D ive followed multiple tutorials, mainly MakerTech’s “how to make an inventory” series, and yet I still cant seem to figure out how. I wanted a sort of inventory where you can drag-and-drop items onto areas where things would work (think habromania if you know what that is, or those old point-and-click flash games), and im able to interact with objects (script at the bottom), but i cant seem to be able to add it to my inventory.

tldr: how do i add objects i interact with to my inventory? (3D if that helps)

Collectable script:

extends StaticBody3D

func interact():
	print("interacted")
	queue_free()

Inventories are a complex web of systems, you could try to represent your items as Resources in the menu; in 3D when an item is picked up the 3D representation is deleted and the Resource representation is added to the menu.

Depends heavily on your project. If you are unsure how to extend resources you can create a script like so

extends Resource
class_name InventoryItem

@export var item_name: String
@export var item_image: Texture2D

In the filesystem you will be able to create new InventoryItem resources once this script is saved anywhere, those .tres resources store a little bit of data about each type of item, add more @export variables depending on what you need from your items and extend InventoryItem if some items are more complex than others.
