Inventory System

About:
This is just something I made up when I was bored.
It would be useful for Dev servers who are sick of the default Q Menu.
The script is attached.

How to use it:
First download the script.txt file attached and then upload it as a weapon on you're server.
Add it to all players on login or whom you wish to have this.
To use it simple press Q and then select a weapon.
You can search through you're weapons by clicking the Search bar and typing a name and pressing the enter key.

Updated:
1. Added a search bar at the top.
2. You now only have to single click to select a weapon.
3. Changed .onAction to .onKeyUp so when you release a key it starts searching.

kavans is better. Maybe you should've decided on a kinda tab format as well o_0

But how would tab's benefit...
My approach on this was simplicity, to make it as easy to understand how to use.
You just have to simply press Q and double click a weapon.

How about adding a search bar for weapons? That would be pretty simple for use and click enter on what you want rather then double click.

That's actually a really neat idea.
I'll start now.

All it is is a GUI window with your inventory items listed in it. It's not exactly something new is it. Like trix said, you should study kavan's code and add some extra features to it. Also, you could make your GUI look more visually appealing. It looks simple and horrible.

But how would tabs help?

Almost every good inventory system has some sort of category system. Even the default inventory has one. If you don't categorise your items and you have a lot of weapons, you will find locating a specific one pretty hard. It's a nice, but very very basic code you have there.

What type of tabbing does the default inventory have......?

It doesn't and I never said it did. It sorts items into "sacks" depending on their weapon name.

Hmmm, I don't know how you would achieve that though.
I'm just sticking with things I know how to do for now.

Then you won't learn anything new if you're not willing to try anything new.

I have been trying and am willing to, but for material being released I would prefer to not put odd coding that is probably wrong in it.

Debug then. That's the best way to learn.

Just do it. Doesn't matter if your code sucks. Work until it works. Then rewrite it, improve it, make things better. That's the only way to improve, really.

Thats exactly how I script.. once thru sloppy just get it to work.. then once again after I can visualize the script better in my head.
