Item amount indicator
« on: September 30, 2011, 06:13:32 am »

Is there a rocket launcher on the floor on a single hex? Or 100? Only way to tell is to pick them all up. I suggest that when you point to an item, the amount of that same type of item is shown. This would look almost identical to the percentage of hit shown next to cursor during combat. A different color would be nice.

Another maybe better method would to print the amount of same type of items piled up on the same hex. "You see a Rocket Launcher" would print "You see 100 Rocket Launchers" or "You see Rocket Launcher (100)"

Good idea. I'm surprised that it wasn't suggested before.

The idea is good but I think its not possible weapons unlike ammo and other items are stored as one not a whole and since they have different ammo in them or detoration they wouldn't snap on each at least thats what I think.

Youd still need to aim with mouse to hoover over the right shape but other than that it would show the total amounts of items not like picking up 1 ammo, 1 ammo, 1 ammo

It was suggested before but with somekind of lame shit about people with awareness only having this option.

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

Very good suggestion.  Although awareness does make sense (You have to count them all individually to get the correct amount which a very "aware" person would be naturally good at but screw it).

Implement please. :D

would this allow you to pick up a certain # of what ever item is on the hex?

It wouldn't change anything really, as a vast redo in mechanics would be needed first.

Right now, multiple stacks of same item types can be put on top of each other and you can only "see" (hover the cursor over) the topmost one. So someone could have dropped 1000 ammo and then a single piece on top and it would show "you see 1 piece of ammo" if such tooltip with item ammounts was to be implemented.

Only way to show the real ammount of stuff on certain hex would be changing the very system by which it works - into one that creates a temporary container on a hex with loot dropped onto it.

So I guess this suggestion goes to meh, too much work pile.

I would rather want something implemented that allows you to pick up all amount you can carry with one single click. Its very demotivating and annoyng to click 100 times to pick up 100 knives, or radios, or whatever. Since we have very few places to store our gear, we are forced to leave most of it on the ground. It would be great to pick up all with one click or using "G" key.

After some thought I think I have a reasonable way to do this. A function that just lists everything on a hex. This would dump a list to message box.

Here is what would be dumped for 3 rocket launchers, 3 hammers(2 are stacked) and 150 BBs(stacks of 100 and 50).
Code: [Select]

You see Rocket Launcher
You see Rocket Launcher
You see Rocket Launcher
You see Sledgehammer
You see Sledgehammer (2)
You see BBs (50)
You see BBs (100)
