    I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Would you explain more fully what you want to do.

    Okay So In Minecraft You Can Craft Stuff Like A Pickaxe To Mine Stone. And To Make A Pick Axe You Need Sticks And Wood But You Put Them In A Pattern Like This..

    Lots of Boolean attributes!

    You are talking about an 'inventory system'. Search the forums as there are quite a few posts here about it. It's not something I've done but it seems possible.

    It can be done. But it requires a LOT of work. GS is not fantastic for inventories but I've seen them done.

    I would suggest the best way to handle a "crafting" system would be with invisible actors that "allow" the crafting to happen.

    It's really hard to explain, but if you have invisible actors on a grid and you place an actor (say some wood or some stone) it changes an attribute to TRUE, and then if you hit a "craft" actor-button and enough attributes are true then something new is created (a sword, a pickaxe, etc).

    If you're wanting an expansive inventory system and crafting system like Minecraft then good luck. Notch has spent a LOOOOONG time on his game (well over a year) to get it to where it's at. Don't expect to pop out another Minecraft in the next few weeks :-)

    Good luck!
