I created a backpack system that has been working extremely well, but just recently on the game I’ve been working on, it randomly stopped working as intended, even though it was working legit a day before. I haven’t touched any scripts that could’ve interrupted it.
Basically, how it’s supposed to work is when you get an item, it appears in one of the three slots, then when you click or press the key #, you’re character equips the tool, and it’ll unequip if you click it, or press the desire key #. Recently though, you get the item normally, but now when you select it, it instantly goes away from your character, not even spawning the item in your hand.
