  There are two approaches you can take: one using script, another using ActionList parameters.

  Through script, you can hook into the OnInventoryAdd / OnInventoryRemove custom events to check if a given item is present, and control a Menu accordingly (either turning it on/off or locking/unlocking it).

  For example:

  using AC;
  using UnityEngine;
  
  public class UnlockMenuWithItem : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      public int itemID;
      public string menuName;
  
      private void OnEnable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnInventoryAdd += OnInventoryUpdate;
          EventManager.OnInventoryRemove += OnInventoryUpdate;
      }
  
      private void OnDisable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnInventoryAdd -= OnInventoryUpdate;
          EventManager.OnInventoryRemove -= OnInventoryUpdate;
      }
  
      private void OnInventoryUpdate (InvItem invItem, int amount)
      {
          bool showMenu = KickStarter.runtimeInventory.PlayerInvCollection.Contains (itemID);
          PlayerMenus.GetMenuWithName (menuName).isLocked = !showMenu;
      }
  
  }
  

  With parameters, you could create a pair of ActionList assets that are used to add and remove an inventory item respectively using the Inventory: Add or remove Action, with both Actions having their "Item to add/remove" fields overridden with an Inventory item parameter.

  Following these Actions, you could then run an Inventory: Check Action to check if the given item is being carried by the Player, and then update a Menu accordingly.

  You'd then want to run these ActionList assets using the ActionList: Run Action whenever you wanted to add or remove an item, instead of using the Inventory: Add or remove Action directly.
