How would I go about making an inventory system?

Recently, I read an article on the DevForum about Serialization and wanted to make an inventory system. I am not asking for a script, but I wanted to know the best way to make an inventory system. I’ve thought of a few things such as a folder with values, a table that gets added per person, and just a UI that saves with serialization. Any ideas on how I should go about making an inventory system would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

ProfileService, just create a table called “Inventory” and put data inside that table,
for example

Inventory = {
   "Wood",
   "Iron",
   "Iron",
}

Would there be a benefit in making this a dictionary? I would want this to stack in a UI (ex Wood: 5) and having a dictionary with the value being the amount of the thing they have seems like it could work better.

Yeah of course, you can do whatever you want, really

Alright. I’ve never used ProfileService before so should the table just be saved in a server script and cleaned up (and saved) after they leave?
