Item Pickup

Remember that Items that can be "lying around" in the game world must be Units. Therefore, the user has to create a prefab for the item.

If an Item should be "pickup-able" its prefab must have the Pickup Component.

To pickup an Item:

  • The picking Unit’s alignment towards the Unit that should be picked up, must not be hostile.

  • The picking Unit must have an Inventory Ability and that Inventory must have a slot that can take the item.

Item Powerup

If an Item’s prefab has the Powerup Component instead of Pickup, the picking unit will immediately use the item when walking over it.

This also means that the powerup item must be an ItemInstant. An ItemBase is not "enough" as this class does not define an effect.

when a Powerup is walked across, only an "ItemUsed" Actor Message will be emitted.
