I'm creating an inventory system based off of “Don't Escape” and I'm having an issue. I want to be able to take and move around an item - and if the item isn't touching something it can combine with it goes back to where it was in the inventory. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Save the previous slot index/x and y value (depending on how you do slots) into a (or 2) variables, check when the sprite is released to see if its not touching anything, if not, put it back into the slot based on the index/x and y value which you previously saved.

Isn't there a way that's even more optimized though? Idk I kinda forgot but I'm pretty sure there is…


also I would be responding on @Juni-Bug but apparently new scratchers can't talk on the forum! hints why I am currently speed running getting scratcher

I don't see how that is unoptimized, you're only saving 2 values into variables, thats an O(1) operation
and it only takes up O(1) memory as well

It is optimized but what I'm saying is I could've sworn I remember seeing a way to do that but even simpler, but idk lol. Maybe I'm thinking of something else?

Could you be a litte more specific? Sorry, its really complicated. I partially followed a tutorial named “How to make an UPGRADED INVENTORY system in Scratch - Tutorial”, rest is stuff I added.

I've added and removed a bunch of things, but nothing works. Heres what I have so far: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/984367892/

Hey, i've been trying a few things out but im still a little confused. It's hard since theres an animation for the inventory that plays.
