I assume you're using an object to display the item in the room, right?
It's supposed to be:

Code: ags

function oBall_Interact() {
  oBall.Visible = false;
  player.AddInventory(iBall);
}

(Assuming that you're using the Interact mouse mode and the object's scriptname is "oBall" while the inventory item's is "iBall".)

What exactly isn't working? Do you get any error messages? Is anything happening at all when you click the object? (Is the function properly linked in the object's events pane?)

Yep, exactly what I thought.

Room objects and inventory items are completely unrelated, except to the game designer.
You'll have to create an inventory item to represent the object in the inventory after it's been picked up.
(I tried to make this clear in my previous post, btw.)
