At what point did you make inventory system a singleton and what is .current? The closest I could find to that is a property in IEnumerator, so is it something you put into the InventorySystem offscreen? Or did you bring something into the class specifically for you to call that?

However the way you explain codes in sliced screenshot is confusing especially to newer programmers. I hope you can recreate more tutorial for beginners in mind because admittedly most people that watch tutorials are beginner in programming itself. And for advanced user you can make a disclaimer at the star or title itself.

With these scriptable objects, it looks to me like they are best used when you have an item that doesn't change its state at all, since it just references the asset. But if you want to create an inventory system like say, Minecraft, whereby using an item reduces its durability, can SOs allow for individual changes in these items?

(this is actually seen at 8:03, as there are no attributes when the inventorysystem is added) no messages, nothing. this was on 2020.3.24f1. Modifying these lines to remove the getter/setter allowed the serialization as seen at 8:12. those playing along at home need simply change "public List inventory {get; private set;}" to "public List inventory;", rince and repeat for the same style of lines in the InventoryItem script.
