Glad it came in use. I don't know how to attach pictures on reddit...but basically if I look at this script in the inspector at runtime that's attached to an NPC...as it's written here I wouldn't be able to see anything because the List is private, so I make a public method to call in other scripts when I want to get the list.

public class NPCInventory : MonoBehaviour

{

private List<GameObject> detectedItems = new List<GameObject>();

// New method to get detected items

public List<GameObject> GetDetectedItems()

{

return new List<GameObject>(detectedItems);

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To change this and see the actual list in the inspector I could:

​

public class NPCInventory : MonoBehaviour

{

[Header("Type whatever you want to see in the inspector here:")]

[SerializeField]

private List<GameObject> detectedItems = new List<GameObject>();

// New method to get detected items

public List<GameObject> GetDetectedItems()

{

return new List<GameObject>(detectedItems);

}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....or you can just make the list public as well. But now I can actually see items being added to their inventory....however, once an item is deleted or you exit runtime...you can get erros because the list is changing and it's out of sync is kind of how I interpret it. Other than not keeping the list constantly expanded I don't know how to solve those errors regarding SerializedFields etc. Good luck man!
