inventory Help

How would I make a inventory using Struct as a list like how Pokémon does it

[lethal raven]

You wouldn't be able to do it with structs alone. You would also need arrays, or another data structure to be able to have a list of items.

I would look into arrays and/or ds lists in the manual. I highly recommend arrays though.

once you understand structs and arrays, then you can tackle making an inventory

i somewhat understand arrays

[lethal raven]

you need to fully understand them and structs. For structs, it would be best if you understood constructors.

are there any good videos that aren't old or out of date explaining them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKgDkhKC050&t=6s is this one good also?

[lethal raven]

sure, they're both short so may as well watch them both

sams has multiple parts

I'd check out their array videos too

[vernal egret]

so anything that's 2.3 or above that should be fine it looks like

[lethal raven]

it should yes

data structures are a bit of an advanced topic in most programming languages, which is why inventories can be overwhelming for a lot of people

once you understand them, inventories are much much easier to make

i did a while back make a very simple inventory doing this ```global.items =
{
wood: 4,
sap: 10,
woodPlank: 12
}

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa26B54JDDk i know i been told NOT to watch this guy but is this video really bad or can i learn something from him

[lethal raven]

highly recommend not watching any of his stuff, it'll only hurt you in the long run

[vernal egret]

it doesnt look that bad but i trust you

he did basically what i want

[vernal egret]

{
    Name = "apple"
    How_many = 0
}

function wood () : Tree() constructor
{
    Name = "Wood"
    How_many = 0
}


function sapling  () : Tree() constructor
{
    Name = "apple"
    How_many = 0
}``` so im trying to make this now im 99% sure the "error" means nothing but i want to make that 100% unless i wrote this wrong it should be fine right

and this is the video im copying from just using my own words
