I’m currently working on a point and click adventure game. now I’m using the storyboard api as well for the level designs. what i need to us have a inventory bar at the bottom that stores the objects i collect while playing the game. this bar should also scroll left and right and needs to be able to select objects in them to use. for example i find a key in the scene1 and click on it. it then goes into my inventory. then i select the key and click on the door. the door unlocks and i can enter into scene2
below are the main.lua file and scene1.lua (first scene of the game)
main.lua file

storyboard.gotoScene( "scene1", "fade", 400 )

local tabButtons = {
