  Welcome to the community, @alexaleman.

  
  

  Such a tightly-woven integration between multiple assets is always going to be tailored for your own needs, but I can certainly advise on the best general practices.  Do know that it will require custom coding, so you will need to be knowledgable of scripting - but AC does try to make such customisations as simple as possible (while still giving enough flexibility).
  

  
  

  If you already have an item created in AC's Inventory Manager, then presumably you already have the ability to access the default Inventory menu to select it.  How you go from that to having TPC equip a grenade will depend on exactly how you want it to occur, but the most simple way would be to give that item a "Use" Interaction ActionList, which runs a simple custom Action to tell TPC to equip the grenade.

  
  

  A tutorial on custom Actions can be found here.
  

  
  

  For a more integrated approach, where the items in TPC and AC are more robustly synchronised, you can rely on custom events.  Custom events are triggered whenever AC performs a common task, and there are events for adding / removing /using etc inventory items held by the player.  For more on this topic, see the "Custom events" and "Inventory scripting" chapters of the Manual.

  
  

  You can also read the player's inventory at any time with:
