Item is duplicating itself in my inventory when I swap positions

[Galicate (Gal)]

I have an inventory system where players can move an item to a slot if it is empty, however, it seems like my items are duplicating when I move them even though I’m removing them from the table before re-adding them with a new index.

function Inventory:RemoveItem(item)
	for i, v in pairs(self.items) do
		if v == item then
			table.remove(self.items, i)
		end
	end
end

function Inventory:MoveItem(item, index)
	if index < 1 then return false end
	if index > self.slots then return false end
	if self.items[index] then return false end
	for i, v in pairs(self.items) do
		if v == item then
			self:RemoveItem(item)
			table.insert(self.items, index, item)
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

is there <instance>:Clone()?

Technically the instance isn’t cloning, but when I move the item to a separate slot, it seems to add it twice.

I’m not doing anything with the instance, just adding it to a table called self.items, and giving it a specific index relative to its’ slot number.

Replaced table.remove() with self.items[I] = nil
Apparently table.remove does this thing where it “shifts later elements down to fill in the empty space if possible.”
