How can you read and store the data from a scriptable object into Inventory?

Question

If you have pickups such as ammo, as scriptable objects, can you read the data from those containers directly and display them on the UI once you pick them up? Or does it need a constructor to store the data you need?

Your question is a bit unclear. In general you can access any public scriptable object field as soon as you have a reference to this scriptable object and have values assigned. You don't need to instantiate this object to access them. Do you mean that by "do i need a constructor"?.

As with everything i can always recommend to read the documentation as it contains good example of how to use it. Link to docu.

Yeah sorry. If you pickup several ammo cases which are all scriptable objects of the same type (Pistol ammo for example) will the value of ammo add up? Cuz atm I use a constructor that passes item name and quantity to the inventory to track that. (And then when you pickup same ammo type it adds up). Hopefully this is more clear.

Not really no. What constructor? Of your inventory? Can you perhaps share your code? It is not really clear what exactly you are doing there.

I also don't really get one thing: Apparently you are already passing the ScriptableObject (SO) to your inventory and add it up and so on so - why the question? What exactly does not work? You ask on how to do something while kinda describing that you already do it.

Seems I confused myself tbh lol. I had a few things missing in the code and thus it gave no error but didn't properly read the info from the scriptable objects.
