    Hello,
    After finishing part 19, I wanted to go back and fix some of the things that I wasn’t able to figure out fully. After reading through everything and rewatching multiple times, everything seems correct and I’m unsure what might be the issue here. When Leveling up, the tooltip doesn’t show and this is because there are 4 upgrades to be chosen. I’m unsure why there is is 4th and why it isn’t visible. Another thing not mentioned in the topic title is that when leveling up, the only items that show are passives.

    public void SetUpgrades(PlayerInventoy inventory, List<ItemData> possibleUpgrades, int pick = 3, string tooltip = "")
    {
        pick = Mathf.Min(maxOptions, pick);
    
        //if there is not enought upgrade option boxes, create them
        if (maxOptions > upgradeOptions.Count)

    For the missing tooltip, add the following line and show me what it prints:

    public void SetUpgrades(PlayerInventoy inventory, List possibleUpgrades, int pick = 3, string tooltip = "")
    {
        pick = Mathf.Min(maxOptions, pick);
    
        //if there is not enought upgrade option boxes, create them
        if (maxOptions > upgradeOptions.Count) 
        {
            for (int i = upgradeOptions.Count; i < pick; i++)
            {
                GameObject go = Instantiate(upgradeOptionTemplate.gameObject, transform);
                upgradeOptions.Add((RectTransform)go.transform);
            }
        }
        print("Tooltip: " + tooltip);
        //if a string is provided, turn on the tooltip
        tooltipTemplate.text = tooltip;
        tooltipTemplate.gameObject.SetActive(tooltip.Trim() != "");

    As for the passives, add the following line to show all your availableWeapons on the Console, so that we can see if active weapons are selected:

        //show the UI upgrade window if there are still availabel upgrades left
        int availUpgradeCount = availableUpgrades.Count;
        if (availUpgradeCount > 0) 
        {
            print("Avail upgrades: " + String.Join(", ", availableUpgrades.ToArray()));
            bool getExtraItem = 1f - 1f / player.Stats.luck > UnityEngine.Random.value;
            if (getExtraItem || availUpgradeCount < 4)
            {
                upgradeWindow.SetUpgrades(this, availableUpgrades, 4);
            }
            else 
            {
                upgradeWindow.SetUpgrades(this, availableUpgrades, 3,
                    "Increase you Luck stat for a chance to get 4 items!");
            }
        }

    Show me the Console output for both of these.

    For the tooltip not showing up, it is because your condition is wrong, so you are always going to the 4 item branch:

        if (availUpgradeCount > 0) 
        {
            bool getExtraItem = 1f - 1f / player.Stats.luck > UnityEngine.Random.value;
            if (getExtraItem || availUpgradeCount < 4)
            {
                upgradeWindow.SetUpgrades(this, availableUpgrades, 4);
            }
            else 
            {
                upgradeWindow.SetUpgrades(this, availableUpgrades, 3,
                    "Increase you Luck stat for a chance to get 4 items!");
            }
        }

    As for the passives, they are not showing because you have not added the active weapons to the list of available weapons:

        /* is an emply list that will be filtered from
         , which is the list of all upgrades in PlayerInventory.
        Not all upgrades can be applied, as some may have already been maxed out
        or the player may not have enough inventory slots*/
        List<ItemData> availableUpgrades = new List<ItemData>(availableWeapons);
        List<ItemData> allUpgrades = new List<ItemData>(availableUpgrades);
        allUpgrades.AddRange(availablePassives);

    This works! Although, adding availableWeapons to the list is creating some duplication issues with the weapons. Would this a the fix?

    List<ItemData> availableUpgrades = new List<ItemData>();
    List<ItemData> allUpgrades = new List<ItemData>(availableWeapons);
    allUpgrades.AddRange(availablePassives);

    You’re right! availableWeapons should go into allUpgrades. Oversight on my part.
