Where do I start on an Inventory System? [closed]

This has been bugging me for a little while, I have so many ideas for games, but many of them require an inventory system, not the regular ROBLOX one. A problem is that I can build and GUI design the inventories and games, but have been looking for someone to guide me through or provide me with an example model off of which I could learn how to create one.

Could someone please provide me with required wiki links, a step by step quick explanation or a model on ROBLOX which will get me where I want to be?

My visualisation of the Inventory System:

• Player clicks 'I' to open up a Inventory GUI (I know how to keybind and create the GUI)

• Player can click + drag items in inventory to move items about, or drag outside of inventory to drop the item.

• Storage boxes around the map which can be opened by clicking, and players can again drag + drop items from the box to their inventory.

• Players can drag + drop to their hotbar and then by hitting 1,2,3,4,5... and so on will select the item within the correct hotbar slot.

Well kind of like Minecraft to simplify it, but without all the crafting stuff.

If it matters, I can pay a mentor.

Many thanks,

Someone was payed 5k robux to make an Inventory System for someone else, this stuff is very advanced and I wouldn't suggest getting into it until you're more experienced with programming. OrcaTheFish 95 — 6y

(also thats actually kind of cheap, some people are payed upwards of 20k robux just to create an inventory system) OrcaTheFish 95 — 6y

I would suggest using a folder and a massive dictionary of things in your inventory theking48989987 2147 — 6y

Price plays no role, R$ is easy to get anyway. Well back to the point. I understand the entire folder and value creating step, and how that would allow the inventory to function, although click + drag to move within inventory seems a lot more advanced, and probably the thing I need help with. Also checking for occupied slots, and where items would go into continuous slots instead of 1 if 1 is full excellentAnarchy 50 — 6y
