use: The function that is run when the player presses the 'use' button on the item in their inventory / interact when it is an entity. takes two arguments:

  1. ply: the player who pressed use, this is so you can use functions such as ply:uGM_inventoryGiveItem("can1", 10).
  2. ent: the entity of the item (if it is in the world and not the inventory) this is so you can run functions on it such as removing it once used for a one-time use item.

spawn: The function that is run when the play press spawns the item from their inventory takes two arguments:

  1. ply: the player who pressed spawned it, this is so you can use functions such as ply:uGM_inventoryGiveItem("can1", 10).
  2. ent: the resulting entity that was created. This is so you can run functions on it such as entity:SetOwner()
