I was wondering if there were some good resources for the concepts of a FPS inventory. My current idea to to just have a JSON file with every item having a “name” “type” “weight” and “count” propertys. I was thinking this would have the added benefit of using a single list that can be used for multiple menus(ie: healthpacks menu, ammo menu, etc)

Are they different approaches or resources for FPS inventorys?

    You would have to create a UI object for the container, and a array or list for the actual inventory objects, and then a way to sync this data to disk or to a save buffer to keep it updated.

    If the items are standardized, all you need in the inventory is an item ID of some sort and a count. You then have an item DB that has name, icon, weight, etc for each item.

    If you have random items, you need to store more properties, but you should keep the inventory structure as slim as you can.
