Write EquipmentGroupController class

[RossMcConeghy]

EquipmentGroupController is the superclass that handles a set of slots that represent, for example, the player's currently equipped set of items including their body, head, motivator, tool slot, etc. I think each equipment set will need:

• [ ] an array of containers
• [ ] Show() - show the GUI for this EquipmentGroupController
• [ ] Hide() - hide the GUI for this EquipmentGroupController
• [ ] UpdateEquipment() - based on what is equipped in each slot, show or hide other slots. Also pushes updates to the equipped items telling them if they can be activated.
• [ ] Displays GUI feedback indicating non-activateable equipped items

Yes! UpdateEquipment() would also need to highlight items that were not working...or else we would need to not allow some things to be dropped into certain containers.

I agree, but in order to implement it I think we'll need some kind of "allowedItems" or "allowedItemTypes" list for each slot in the Container, or for the whole container so an item can be checked when it is being dropped in a slot. Unless you're thinking of a different way to do this.

My original idea for this was that each position would have a "type" and "class". For example: Class 2 Drive, Class 1 battery. I wanted to allow use of lower classed items.
