you can add to the score whenever you feel like it.
i really dont understand your question. you can use the AGS method of AddScore.
just put the addscore code after you add the inventory
I'm sorry guess I should take my time typing . lol
Score
Is it better to give it when they get and Inventory or when they use a Inventory on a hotspot or other Inventory ?
Is that better .
To reiterate Scummbuddy, you can add score whenever you like.
But I'll offer observations as to how Sierra did it as I remember (I played more Sierra than I did LA).
The times you got points were:
1. Getting an item
2. Using an item the correct way in some manner
3. Talking to a person to get info or to move story along
3a. As I said, something to get information you need
3b. perhaps incouraging someone to do something
4. Doing something non-required, but funny
"Your name wouldn't happen to be DICK would it?"
It comes down to: give points when they do anything to move closer to the end of the game in a positive way.
The way I did it in my game was I counted exactly how many minimum actions are required to finish the game. And I made that my max score. Anytime you did something ONLY THAT BROUGHT YOU CLOSER TO FINISH did I give points.
Ok, ok, enough rambling, I'll answer your question simply...

IMHO, if it brings them closer to the end of the game, yes to all.
Thank you for all the help .
