It's kinda odd, I'm looking and your code and it looks like it should work? Maybe... is "firstEmptySlot" a number variable? Maybe it's set to string and that messes it up?

Either way, I've set it up slightly different (with a function, highly recommend) and tested it. This works 100%.

This does work, thank you! Now all I need to do is make each item trigger map to its associated item instead of being random.

I really wonder what the issue was with my last code. It had me stumped the entire day, because it really looks like there aren't any issues with it.

EDIT: I changed the function choose to the trigger I'm using and its associated item and it works flawlessly. HUGE thank you for your help with this!

I initialized the array and put together this system for a simple inventory. When I pick up any item, everything works as intended. I can use the item, the sprite gets destroyed, etc.

The issue appears when I pick up a second item, as it overwrites the first. Does anyone know what might be happening? Here are some screenshots.

The checkSlot loop was meant to bypass indexOf to see if that was the issue, but nothing changed. Running this with or without indexOf vs running it without the loop doesn't change anything.

firstEmptySlot is my global variable.

In the debug example above, when hitting E on either of these items, it's added to the correct first spot in inventoryArray.

tempWatchValue (watching inventoryArray.IndexOf("")), also changes to 1 as it should. Picking up the other item doesn't change it anymore though, and just replaces the first item. Thank you for any help!

Got it! Just added the global variable system condition I made for preventing movement to this as well. Posting it here in case somebody comes searching. Thanks everyone!

Also, you're pressing space to both advance the dialogue AND to trigger the interaction, that's probably what's causing the loop.

Wow yep, that's exactly what it was! Thank you! It works fine if I use two different buttons.

But now I'm wondering how I can get around that, as I'd like a single interact button instead of needing to switch. To keep things intuitive. I'll figure out a little thing to keep E from being used as an interact button while in dialogue.

Hm I switched them and there's still the same issue. Everything works perfectly until the very last line of dialogue.

Actually, after switching them it now loops back to the start of the first dialogue unless I wait for it to finish completely. After waiting for it to finish and then moving on, the second dialogue plays. If I don't wait for that to finish it loops back to dialogue one again.

If I DO wait for dialogue two to finish as well, THEN try to exit, it loops through dialogue two and never goes back to one.

PS ignore the difference in buttons with space and E, I just switched the buttons between screenshots.

Here's what I'm working with for the dialogue:
