I am having trouble getting a taken object/Item to appear in the players inventory.

Make sure that the item/object you want the player to take is defined as a currently registered item. If you are using QDK, you do this by clicking on the cabinet icon to the right of the rocket ship icon. If you are using ASL, you'll have to ask somebody on this board who codes since I use QDK.
Once the item is registered in the game, and you have used the "Give item to player" action, it should work. You'll want to remove that item from play once you have taken it unless you want to magically pick up the same item an infinite amount of times. Hope that helps.

Tyrant is right, but there are a few other possible reasons why it might not appear.
1. When you 'take' an item, you must also make sure that you 'give' the item to the player as part of the take action for that object.
As an additional to the above, you must also 'remove' the item from the room in the same action if you want the item to vanish once the player has it.
2. You didn't tick the 'Initially invisible' box did you?
