Inventory problem.

[The Thinker]

Hello all, I'm trying to make an inventory like monkey island 1 game.

I'm testing pick up action.

If i have 2 objects when I pick up them how can I put them in different positions in the inventory?

To pick up them I do this:

*when user clicks with left button on pick up object------set pickupcounter to 1
*when user clicks with left button on object1 and pickupcounter is 1 -------- set pickupcounter to 0, add 1 to pickedobjectscounter
*when user clicks with left button on object2 and pickupcounter is 1 -------- set pickupcounter to 0, add 1 to pickedobjectscounter
(I NEED TO CORRECT THIS
*pickedobjectscounter is 1 --------------------put object 1 X351, Y390 and put object2 X351, Y390
*pickedobjectscounter is 2 --------------------put object 1 X351, Y390 and put object2 X432, Y390

In the game i don't know if player will choose first object 1 or object 2 so I need to make a code where if the player choose objectX as first it goes X351, Y390, and if the player choose objectX as second choise it goes X432, Y390

How can I do?

Thanks

Create an invisible "marker" object that starts in the first on-screen slot, and put the object at its location when it's picked up. After doing that, move it along however many pixels in the same action, so that the next object will be placed in the next slot.
