Spawn an itemObject in world

Yes ItemObjectSpawner is used to spawn ItemObjects anywhere in the scene.
What do you meant by Item ID? You might be confusing the Item ID and the ItemObjectSpawner ID, they are two distinct things.
The ItemObjectSpawner has an ID such that you can find it anywhere in the code. All you need is to add an ItemObjectSpawner component somwhere in your scene (I would add it to your "Game" game object), make sure its ID is unique if you have multiple ones.
The you can get the ItemObjectSpawner with the id using the Get Global function, from there you can spawn an ItemObject:
I believe the Demo Scene has an ItemObjectSpawner on the "Game" gameobject so you can see how it's setup. The only requirement for the prefab is that it must have an ItemObject.

Hi Sangemdoko,
I added ItemObjectSpawner on the "Game". My prefab also has an ItemObject. I also called GetGlobal function but encountered this error
Do you know what's going wrong? Also, can you provide an example of "itemInfo"? what should I put there? like ("weapon",1)?
Thanks!
Most likely you do no have access to our scripts because you haven't made an assembly definition that references ours for your own scripts.
There are a lot of tutorials on assembly definitions that you can find online. Here is the Unity documentation for it:
docs.unity3d.com
As for ItemInfo a simple example would be:
That's being said ItemInfo is much more than just an ItemAmount. It also has reference to an ItemStack and an ItemCollection. This way when you try to find an item in an Inventory, it won't just tell you the amount, but also where it is stored exactly. That is espcially useful when you organize your items in different ItemCollection or when you have multiple stacks of the same item.
I hope that makes sense. you can learn more about the definitions of ItemAmount, ItemInfo, etc... here: https://opsive.com/support/documentation/ultimate-inventory-system/getting-started/terminology/

Code:
// Create an Item from the Inventory System Manager by name.
var potion = InventorySystemManager.CreateItem("Potion");
var itemInfo = new ItemInfo(potion, 1);
//Or you can even do
