Picking up an item on the ground without directly picking it up

[mom0367]

So I’ve had an idea of having players pick up items by interacting with a proximityprompt attached to them (kind of like how Isle does it)

Problem is, I don’t know of any way of moving an item into a players inventory from the item itself.

Teleporting the item into the player wouldn’t work as I don’t want contact pickups.

Deleting the item and manifesting a clone into the backpack could work but that sounds unnecessarily complex.

As far as I know there is no built-in way of transferring an item into the backpack directly.

An easy way would be that if the proximityprompt is triggered, the part parent is the player backpack

ProximityPrompt.Triggered passes the player who interacted with the prompt as argument to the callback function so you can use

prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    item.Parent = player.Backpack
end)

Wasn’t aware you could just parent stuff to the backpack like that, thanks.
