So to reiterate, what can this exactly do?

It's not really a system if it can't be dynamically adapted and changed to suit the needs of other maps. Go learn about Data-Tables and functions, tidy up your triggering and make this better

Why data tables?

Don't ask me

I was imagining you could save an item's data field value (it's name) in a data table and have a corresponding string, refer to it's image. For easier referencing between the Item object itself, and the image which is displayed in the Dialogue Button - but I couldn't for the life of me, find a way to store an image, or even reference to an image in a variable through using a string.

When its done, its going to be a 4 slot inventory system. Honest Id love to work with formulas and stuff to dynamically write the dialog, but I am a simple map maker. Ill have some sample triggers to show how to pick up and item and change it into a variable and make it functional with the system. Ill also have a unit with the inventory management system to alter the said inventory.

Why the topic is open, Im simply looking for ideas, to elaborate and construct this beast, as well as make it as efficient as possible, with the least amount of trigger rework as possible.

just learn about multithreading and efficient initialisation would be enough to optimize this.

Arrays are mostly for consistency and ease of readability.

A wiki on how to make your map load faster would be extremely great, seriously.

I cant remember the last time I mapped so hard



A few ghetto rigs were added to make it work. But it works.
