Using Point and Click, with interaction then hotspot, I cannot get inventory item to stay selected.
So I've troubleshot this for two days now. I can add stuff to my inventory no problem. Have my navigation system working perfectly fine, huzza. But now I've hit a wall.
When I click Use in my menu and then the menu item, it selects nothing and disengages Use.
After making a specific Use interaction to test, I can see that it is registering the fact that I used Use on the object, but it simply disengages immediately after I select the object. So I can apply it to the hot spot.
If I'm not using an inventory item everything works great, I can open doors, pick up a backpack, load up my inventory with the contents, etc.
But when it comes to actually use an inventory item there is no way for me to keep it working. Out of desperation I (knowing that it was, engaging use, since I made an action list that essentially deleted the object if use was placed on it to test, and it did, in fact, do that) I made an action script that if Use was clicked on the object, the object would be selected. No dice there either.
And yes I made an interaction on the hotspot for that inventory to be used there... I've literally tried everything.
If I went to the hotspot with the Use interaction set to the object including he last selected object then it works, but of course, that object isn't currently selected and I had to then click Use, then the object and use again, which isn't acceptable. I'm really confused on what I'm doing wrong, I've read the manual and watched the tutorial videos and there simply isn't a good example on how to do this. If I was using context mode or drag and drop with the regular inventory than yeah there's lots of documentation, but if I was using the custom Unity interaction menu shown in the tutorials to do a Monkey Island etc. style game, then it's mentioned that we can do that, but there is no real info.
I'm thoroughly stuck. I will sleep on it for now, and if necessary post screen caps of whatever you guys need in the morning.

I can take new images if you need, (the old ones are gone now), just tell what area I should show you, everything is working now (as long as I give the inventory item a Main Graphic). I posted a video showing the hotspot/inventory settings, etc. But I can certainly give you new higher resolution images if that helps.
I'm just happy I'm making progress again. The game is clicking together like legos
