Hello Savaikun,

I believe I have a better way to draw the inventory(That doesn’t include 5 hotbar highlight settings and up to 50+ inventory ones (Not sure if this is how you handle your inventory as well).

When drawing my inventory (Can be done with the hotbars as well) I utilize a single texture as the backdrop (If I ever consider doing an increasing inventory size/Window resizing - I will probably give the base item a texture draw that will expand the inventory as it gets bigger dynamically). I then draw the first inventory slots hitbox(index 0), once that is drawn I save the hitboxes position into a 2d vector array(Index 0 of the hitbox position array now matches up with index 0 of my inventory hitbox).

From there I do a mouse over event check to find which box is hovered over, save the bool that its being hovered over, and do a branch check and only draw the material if its true.

This is what we’re doing as well. It allows us to scale from 1 inventory item to however many we need (and we can change this in real time).
