I think I've read about this, but I can't find it.
It's possible to have two playing actors, each with his own inventory, and change between them, just like in "Day of the Tentacle" or "Fred & Jeff: A movie adventure".
You can send me to the appropiate post if this is already answered.

It's possible to have as many characters as you want (not just two) with just one rule. You can control only one character at a time like it's done in the games your mentioned. Those characters will have their own inventory too.

You can load every character in a variable like
global Actor1 = Game.LoadActor("actor_dir/Actor1");
global Actor2 = Game.LoadActor("actor_dirActor2");
etc

and use the character you like at any time (you can also store the active character at the "actor" variable so you don't have to use mixed/complex script).

For inventory work you have to set up first InventoryObject
I'll build on what odnorf said. If you want to centralize it and have global variables with your
playable characters (Bernard, Hoagie, Laverne) you'd set inventory to Hoagie like this:

actor = Hoagie;
Game.InventoryObject = actor; // this would switch the inventory to current actor.

And all your item taking will be done through

actor.TakeItem instead of Game.TakeItem

hope that helps...
