# Pickable
A component responbile for handling pickable items.
The **Pickable** component is an interactable component responsible for adding the target item to your inventory. The item can be either a **collectable** or an **inventory item**:
* **Collectable items** include things like ammo.
* **Inventory items** include firearms, throwables, and other usable items.
When the player interacts with an object that has the Pickable component, it will be added to their inventory according to its type.
## Creating A Pickable
To create a new **Pickable** item, follow these steps:
1. Create an empty GameObject.
2. Attach the **Pickable** component to the GameObject.
3. Set the layer of this GameObject to **"Interactable"** to ensure it can be interacted with.
This setup allows the item to be picked up and added to the player's inventory when interacted with.
As shown above, a **cube** is created for visualization purposes, with the **Pickable** component attached, the layer set to **"Interactable"**, and a **Box Collider** added. This setup allows you to visually see the pickable item in the game scene and ensures that it is properly interactable when the player approaches it.
### Item Pickables
{% hint style="info" %}
To create a pickable item, the field "Type" must be set to "Item"
{% endhint %}
With this setup complete, if you enter play mode and try to interact with the item, you may see a warning message saying **"Pickable is inactive or item is null..."**. This happens because the item is not assigned yet. To fix this, assign an **Inventory Item** to the **"Item To Pickup"** field.
You can assign the firearm you created following the [Basics ](/fps-framework/tutorials/character/firearm/basics.md)page, any of the default firearms, or throwables. For this example, you can use the default **Assault Rifle\_1**.
The pickable item now is working as intended.
### Collectable Pickables
{% hint style="info" %}
To create a collectable pickable, the field "Type" must be set to "Collectable"
{% endhint %}
By setting the field "Type" to "Collectable", the inspector of the Pickable component changes as seen below.
As seen above, there are two fields: **"Collectable Identifier"** and **"Amount To Collect"**.
* **Collectable Identifier** functions as the item to pick up, but specifically for collectables (like ammo).
* When the item is picked up, the system searches the inventory for a matching collectable.
* If found, it increases the collectable’s **Count** by the value set in **"Amount To Collect"**.
As seen below, the **Inventory** has a list called **"Collectables"**, which is what the **Collectable Pickable** interacts with. When a collectable item is picked up, it searches this list to find a matching identifier and adds the specified amount to it.
This only works if the **Collectable Identifier** in the Pickable component matches one of the **Collectable items** in the Inventory's **Collectables list**. If there's no match, the item won't be added when picked up.
