# Assigning Items

> Typical flow when dragging from inventory to hotbar:

### From Inventory (Blueprint)

Typical flow when dragging from inventory to hotbar:

```
(Get Item At Index on InventoryComponent)
   ↓
Assign Item To Slot on HotbarComponent
   Item Instance = [Inventory item]
   Slot Index    = [Target hotbar index]
   Return        = Success? (bool)
```

Node:\
`HotbarComponent → Assign Item To Slot`

### From Inventory (C++)

```
FItemInstance Item = InventoryComponent->GetItemAtIndex(InventorySlot);
bool bSuccess = HotbarComponent->AssignItemToSlot(Item, HotbarSlot);
```

***

### Direct Assignment / Programmatic (Blueprint)

```
Make Item Instance
   ItemID   = "HealthPotion"
   Quantity = 5
   ItemData = DA_HealthPotion
   ↓
Assign Item To Slot
   Slot Index = 1
```

### Direct Assignment / Programmatic (C++)

```
FItemInstance HealthPotion;
HealthPotion.ItemID  = "HealthPotion";
HealthPotion.ItemData = HealthPotionAsset;
HealthPotion.Quantity = 5;

HotbarComponent->AssignItemToSlot(HealthPotion, 1);
```

***

### Clearing Slots

Blueprint

* **Clear but keep sticky memory (for auto-refill):**

```
Clear Slot But Keep Sticky
   Slot Index = X
```

* **Clear completely (including sticky ID):**

```
Clear Slot And Sticky
   Slot Index = X
```

C++

```
// Clear but remember sticky ID
HotbarComponent->ClearSlotButKeepSticky(SlotIndex);

// Clear completely
HotbarComponent->ClearSlotAndSticky(SlotIndex);
```
