I’m working my way up to “1b. Adding functionality to Tool Hand Slot” but I’m having this problem. If I change “Equipped Tool” to Axe before pressing Play, “Hand Slot” will show Axe, but if I press Play first and change “Equipped Tool” to Axe, “Hand Slot” won’t change at all. There are no errors in the console.

If I change “Equipped Tool” to Axe before pressing Play, “Hand Slot” will show Axe.

If I press Play first and change “Equipped Tool” to Axe, “Hand Slot” won’t change at all.

Based on the reference information and the code provided, the issue is likely that the RenderInventory() method is only called in the Start() method of UIManager. To ensure the UI updates when equippedTool changes after play mode begins, you should call RenderInventory() whenever the equipped tool changes.

The reference tutorial suggests calling UIManager.Instance.RenderInventory() after changing the equipped item/tool. So in your InventoryManager, you would want to call UIManager.Instance.RenderInventory() after setting equippedTool.

However, the exact solution is NOT_FOUND in the provided reference information. The tutorial snippet does not explicitly address this specific UI update scenario.

Looks like the AI assistant has identified the problem. The reason why it doesn’t automatically update is because RenderInventory is not called. Simply follow the tutorial to the end and you should be fine. We call them at the InventoryToHand function.

Every time you make a change to the Inventory you have to call that function or it will not show.
