Can Someone Give Me More Info On Dictionarys?

Hi everyone im just here looking to get some more info on dictionarys and how to use them alittle better.

I really need to know the basics on what i should do first to set up the dictionary for my inventory.

I have a good many of items and i just would like to know where to start.

I really dont like arrays too much and i feel like the dictionary is far more simplified and easier to understand.

Can anyone give me a hand on this topic,I have looked at the manual but it is lacking details on how to actually use this feature.

I love dictionary.

Here is inventory with dictionary for you :)

Edit:

A great trick to see what is happening in background - especially for arrays (I know you don't like, because you can't visualize)

Run layouts in debug mode and see the data filling dictionary/array

Thank you so much!! DUTOIT you are right when it comes to me not being able to visualize i feel kinda lame for not learning through the curve when it comes to arrays.thank you once again man this will help me out so much

You probably still will need to work with arrays, if you don't want to clutter your events with stats that each item gives, but rather load a json or csv and then load the values out of the array.

I think imagining arrays in 2D should not be too hard enough, because it works like a spreadsheet. You've probably worked with spreadsheets at one point or at least seen them.

The only thing that confuses me about your CapX file DUTOIT is everything is in text format.Is it supposed to be that way or can i do this in a different way without everything being text boxes?

mindfaQ i know i will need to learn arrays eventually but as of now i can not comprehend them.it is overly complicated on construct for me.

You can use text or image. The guy I originally did it for wanted text.

Okay, just wrote this quickly. Very simple version of image.
