Inventory in Menu?

So I want to have an autopsy scene where the player can use different items from his inventory on the corpse. (For inevitable comedic effect).  I figured I'd create a menu to do this (because I don't want the player character in the scene), but I can't have my inventory visible in a menu.

Or should I just make it a scene, with the player character hidden and all interactions set to "immediate" ?

Use a scene. Playable character doesn't even need to be in the scene to access or display inventory. Just use immediate actions for everything instead of execute at destination based actions & you should be all good.

Okay, cool, thanks!
