I am making an old styled shooter and would like to have tools assigned to a specific number rather than being assigned to what order they’re added to the backpack. This would include some numbers being empty (example being having a weapon on 2 and 4, but not having the one on 3 yet). I assume this would be possible with the default backpack, as you can press ` in game to set the order aswell as have empty spaces when doing that or when dropping tools, but I also want to ask if I would have to create a work around.
You would first need a folder on the player object to function as your “working” space. You would need to create a tool that is just a “blank” space filler next. Then, to re-arrange the order, you would first move all the tools to the working space to empty the backpack, then move them one by one in order that you want to create on the backpack numbering. Keep in mind the player could still move them around, but if you reset the ordering after some event (getting new weapon, tool, etc.) it can sorta keep them in order, but the player will always be able to change it around.
Main issue I see, this won’t work well on mobile since they usually only get 3 slots to start with unless they have a large screen resolution like a tablet size.

I would recommend creating a custom backpack system to do this.
