How to Item stacking?

[tepid forge]

How do I make item with the same name stack with the amount shown too? Is there a specific script or service I need to learn or any tutorial?

You would want to learn tables and how to store stuff within them

Inventory = {itemName = Count}

Basic example of it

[hexed zealot]

or you can just make tool that has value "Amount" and when grabbing new tool instead of giving another tool it adds +1 Amount and you can make custombackpack to make textlabel that shows amount of "Amount" or just make like that guy said.

Most obvious s1

[hexed zealot]

They both works same so i just take simplier

It is more work to create attributes instead of using a dictionary or array 😭

[hexed zealot]

I just DONT want to have like 3,4,5+ same tools in backpack

[vagrant hound]

Check if the player already has the tool before giving them one 😭

[hexed zealot]

That what i mean by "Amount" to tool

remove it

i mean

check

local rock = backpack:FindFirstChild("rock") or char:FindFirstChild("rock")
If rock then
  rock.Amount.Value += 1
end

IntValue 😭

Bro this ain't 2019

[hexed zealot]

or attribute

[vagrant hound]

Or just store the data within a table

[hexed zealot]

yeah

[vagrant hound]

Just make like a Inventory Manager

And store what the player has in there

And create a util function that checks if the item they want is a duplicate of what they already have

ez

[hexed zealot]

hmm yeah, better than adding to all giving scripts this

So I need to learn data service as well as how to make a custom hotbar?
