Pouch System
Last updated
The Pouch example allows items to store other items inside them
Since instantiated GameObjects are not saved by default, this system uses pre-made pouch bags that are assigned dynamically.
In the example, pouch bags are already set up in the scene:
Extended Inventory > Pouches
Includes 20 pre-made pouch bags
These act as bag instances
If you need additional pouches:
Duplicate existing pouch GameObjects
Regenerate their:
Remember ID
Local Variables ID
This ensures each pouch works independently.
Each pouch item is linked to one of the pre-made pouch GameObjects using an ID system.
When hovering over a pouch item:
If Pouch-ID = 0 (no pouch assigned)
A free pre-made pouch is selected
The GameObject is assigned a unique name (1, 2, 3, etc.)
The same value is stored in the item's Pouch-ID property
If Pouch-ID has a value
The corresponding pouch is located
Its contents are previewed inside the tooltip
To turn an item into a pouch, add the following properties to the Item asset:
Pouch-ID
Default: 0
Assigned automatically via Visual Scripting
Pouch-Height
Defines the number of grid rows
Pouch-Width
Defines the number of grid slots. If Pouch-Height is 1, and Pouch-Width is 5, there will be 5 slots. If Pouch-Height is 2, there will be 10 slots etc
Pouch-Full
Default: 0
Controlled via Visual Scripting
Unity does not save instantiated GameObjects by default.
This system works around that by:
Using pre-existing pouch GameObjects
Assigning them dynamically via IDs
If you want to support saving instantiated GameObjects, you can use Persistent Instances.
Persistent Instances This asset allows runtime-created objects to persist between sessions so spawned GameObjects can be saved and restored when loading a save.
