how do i use an inventory item as a parameter for a custom action.

SoundGuy

going over this document - 

http://www.adventurecreator.org/tutorials/getting-custom-action-work-parameters

first, there's a bug in the docs - 

the text is 

override public void ShowGUI (List parameters)

but the image has

override public void ShowGUI (List<ActionParameter> parameters)

now

i'm not sure what i should put in the Assign Values or in the 

     if (parameterID >= 0)

portion of the ShowGui function.

would appreciate some guidance

Where is the bug?

If (parameterID >= 0), that means you have a parameter assigned - so there's no need to show the regular UI field.  AC's Actions tend to nullify the field the parameter overrides (since it's not showing), but technically that's not essential as it's re-assigned in AssignValues anyway.

In AssignValues, you re-assign the value of the field your parameter overrides with the parameter's value.  In the case of an inventory item, you want to use Action's AssignInvItemID function, eg:

invID = AssignInvItemID (parameters, parameterID, invID);

The bug is that there is a missing Instead if list it's just list
Something went weird with the tags there
