So the code looks all good. I suspect the reason you're having issue is something causing the mouse pressed event to not actually trigger. I have a few ideas but I can't say for sure so you'll need to investigate this. Here are some suggestions:
- The slot objects are not in the correct place, if you have a moving view. (Unlikely since your drawing works).
- The slot objects need a mask assigned to detect if they are being clicked on. Make sure of that, and make the mask the same size as the item sprite itself.
- If you'd rather not assign a mask that way, you can also check for the mouse press by using a global mouse left pressed event instead, and checking if the mouse_x and mouse_y is overlapping with the desired area of the slot.
- Also try adding a show_debug_message to the left press event to make sure it isn't running, to verify my theory and ensure it isn't another issue.

You should have the inventory as a global ds_grid, then you can reference it from anywhere in the game.
Just create some slots for the hotbar where you need them, in addition to the slots in your inventory room.
