Combat Example Inventory help. Does the combat inventory work with First Person view?
Hello and happy New Year to everyone. I have a question about the Combat Example inventory. I like the Silent Hill style 3D inventory that rotates when an item is selected. I would like to implement and use this menu in my first person project. However, I seem to be having an issue with the camera. I duplicated a 3D inventory object in the combat scene to make sure it is set up properly and visible. I copied the menu and, as far as I can tell, all of the settings. However, whenever I trigger the inventory menu, I do not see the object. I am not sure if the issue is related to the first person setup, the menu, or the object itself.

I think there's somethign in Settings set up that's causing it to work/not work, but I'm not sure. Not very familiar with AC and 3D settings. Just getting started.
As always thank you in advance for you help!
Howdy, Stranger!

Items ought to be overlayed via the InventoryCamera, which will need to have its Culling Mask set to the same layer that your Inventory item prefabs are on.
Try locating the InventoryCamera object in the Hierarchy while the Inventory is open, and check that its in front of the Items with matching layers.

No, but you may need to set the Camera to Overlay if you're using URP.
What of its Stack and Environment settings?
Are the screenshots taken of the prefabs, or the scene objects at runtime? Both the camera and the item have the same position.

Where in the Scene window are the Inventory items the camera is to view?
IIRC Overlay cameras need to be assigned in the Main Camera's Stack.
I think I've found the issue. It's not the camera. The objects don't seem to spawn in the scene, even though I've copied all the settings from the combat example. I've no idea what makes the object spawn.
Items are spawned via the Custom Inventory component, which is attached to the example's Player prefab.
When the Inventory menu turns on, this component spawns the "Linked prefab" assets of all currently-held Items.
