When i make a campfire with categories ,and duplicate that same campfire ,it duplicates the items on each campfire!

It just would need to be fully usable with the standard UI controls. Then it should be usable with a gamepad as well.
The dragging of the items might be the biggest challenge. I guess while dragging it should probably just follow the UI focus.

• Add enum for this option in craft-station

Add functions that take a slot as a parameter and not two parameters like item_id and amount

Create a 2D example with all the structure that is in the 3D example including:
-> Personal inventory
-> Loot inventory
-> Pick up items
-> Drop items

• The example must reuse the items from the FPS example, but recreating the database and putting in place of dropped_item and hand_item 2d scenes that represent the item in the 2D dimension.

• Must create a player with interactions with 2D versions to open loots and pick up items
  (Maybe because of proximity)
  

• Add example in 2D folder in the project demo

Notes:

• It should reuse the entire FPS UI, with no need to change scenes or codes.

• Use some top-down example, reference some godot demo project.

Hello!

I am interested in using this inventory system in my project, utilizing a client-server architecture.

The given MP example does not provide an example of this, only P2P handling.

Please provide documentation on this matter!

I believed this line:
database.items.append(item)

It would call the "set" of the database items variable, but it doesn't call.

@export var items : Array[InventoryItem] = []:
	set(new_items):
		items = new_items
		update_items_cache()
	get:
		return items

• Add database link in inventories

Adding a "Getting Started" page to the wiki would make it much easier to understand how this addon works and how to set it up. The example repo helps, but it isn't the minimal setup one would want to integrate this into their project.

I suggest the following layout for the pages:

Getting started
  - Database
    - What is a database?
    - How to set it up
  - Item setup
    - What are items
    - How to create new items
    - Adding categories to items
  - UI setup
    - How does the UI work (with the inventory-system addon)
    - Setting up basic UI
    - Additional functionality

The documentation for the setup doesn't have to be extremely precise, but enough to get the basics done. In addition there should be complete documentation for each Node (Database, Item, etc.) that covers their properties, signals and what they extend from.

Add an inventory for the user to equip resources like a shield.
The logic is to basically be an inventory that has a customized look and slots with specific categories and accepting only one item.

Do not use UI to represent inventory, such as a shelf where items are dragged onto it.

Possible problems:

• Amount of items in the slots

Drag items to inventory: The long dark example

Seems like the problem doesnt just come from newly created items. Its just super strange..
To reproduce it just open the demo reset all categories to none, reload the project and then all categories arrays should be linked.
For me it looks like whenever a dictionary or array in the item editor is set to the global standard value of the custom resource(no idea why this even exists), it will be synchronized with it on the next load(reloading project).
However this doesnt happen when you edit the resource directly in the inspector.
I hope this makes sense to you but thats how I understand the issue.. Tried a ton of stuff like saving with certain flags or duplicating with "deep = true" but nothing actually changes that behaviour.

My last idea was that the issue might have to do something with the items being saved and edited inside of an array.
I 'll keep looking into it but maybe you got an idea as well?

What is the point of having a single product, then byproducts?

Inventory can only add specific items or specific categories #5

The idea is to be able to create inventories that are specialized, such as inventories from the forest
which has a stock of wood, stock of stones.

The forest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/242760/The_Forest

Add a base class for all inventory nodes with the information which database it is using.

• This will organize common code across nodes and present all possible inventory nodes in one place in the node hierarchy.

• This is class abstract

• Make resource too ? 🤔

these pages are blank: https://github.com/expressobits/inventory-system/wiki/Inventory-Database

I setup a new project to test this addon, when I'm trying to add new item in a database, I can't see other items already in there. Reload database or and reopen project can't fix it. Godot Version 4.0.3; I can find items in Editor's Inspector, but not Inventory page;

I am mainly thinking of making something like item durability possible.
Maybe a dictionary that is always passed along with the item.

Create a multiplayer example by creating networked inventory compatibility

The idea is to add an option to the item to be active if this item has grid information with X and Y and Z option (Z for an inventory that is 3D, see #32 )

Grid Inventory: Resident Evil 4 Example

https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/254700/

Inventory should also have an option to define whether or not it is grid based
Question: The inventory and item with grid must be created class that extends the current ones or just add an option in the already existing classes? 🤔

Create an example where leaving the game and returning, the chest (loot) continues with the items from the last game.
You can follow the example of FPS_demo to extend it.

Better organisation

This makes it easier to find demos and adds the benefit of being able to test updates without changing the project
Creating a clean project containing (for example) the FPS demo and having the addon as a dependency (maybe even a Github Submodule? See here) would make things considerably more accessible.
One of the main reasons people avoid great addons like these is the lack of documentation. Add to it the fact that the demos are hidden deep within the project; it is easy to see why people turn away, no matter how great this addon is.

Engine behavior

Godot currently loads the demo projects and their classes, which might not be desired. This is especially bothersome when class names override each other. (ie. class_name Player )
Add to this the fact that inexperienced Godot users may try to use this addon to simplify their project, the confusion of why things break, how to use it, etc. they're more likely to turn away from the addon or even the engine.

Packaging size

Having the demos in a different repo avoids packaging all the demo files in the final product. I'm aware that it is possible to exclude files from being packed, but due to the engine behaviors mentioned above, this could and most likely will break the project in unexpected ways.

Hey, I just tried to download the addon but the folders are empty. I guess something got messed up by moving the folder.

Add option to automate the start of a craft by a craftstation

• Example would be a bonfire that to cook an item, it is enough that the raw item is in the input inventory.
• Basically the craftstation must subscribe to the on_add signal from the inventory (in case slot_added or updated_slot)

A 3D object for drop and pick in inventory

according to #63 Idea.
So I have new Idea come out that help developer easier to manage items.
And I implemented this feature to plugin.
It is Search by Category feature that allow to search items and recipes by it categories.

below GIF to show how it work

Items search

Recipes search

Search items that have multiple category

Add new category and search

Add option of a node to drag items like in the long dark
