It took me some frustration and two days not working on the game, but it's working, the dropping of objects from the inventory. It was actually quite easy, but it was not something I expected to happen. You know, destroying children (which is only admissible in a software development context), it has some peculiarities if I understand it right and I needed to learn something new in Unity to find that out: The debug mode in Unity. I looked at this video and it helpen me on my way. Just wanted to share this one and others from Unity3DCollege which you should check out.
What seems to have happened if I understand it well, is that stuff happens in another order than I expected. I destroy and object and then check the state of things. Well, that was too soon, probably, because after the Destroy-command, the object sticks around for a while. Took me some time to find that out.
Now the sollution was not difficult in this case, because instead of object 0, which was the one supposed to be destroyed, object 1 was the one I needed. In the end all I did was change a digit.
And then I dropped the objects and tried to save one of them... In vain.
By the way, I think I'm going to use my YouTube channel more now. Gifs are all nice for a couple of seconds, but a longer video is better to show bigger pieces of the game's workings. For anyone interested, you can follow me here.
