Create Weapon Management UI for Weapon Manager

[jChicote]

Description

As a player I want the UI to show me what weapons I have and what weapons I have equipped.

The user can equip up to 2 weapons at a time. Furthermore, they can preview minor states about each weapon that they hold. What I want is when players view their weapons on the bottom left corner of the screen ... they can view what primary weapon they have equipped. However when they press "Tab" the UI will reveal what weapons they have equipped and the states of the weapons.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] The weapon management UI exists
• [x] The current equipped weapon is visible
• [x] The tab expansion of weapon information exists
• [ ] The player can view the basic stats for the weapon they have equipped.

Implementation

• Create a widget for the active weapons
• When pressing tab, the weapon UI should be invoked to display the weapons basic stats
• Have the UI contain its own views
• Have the views be given data that it requires and not the weapon data itself

Update to Scope

The HUD might be known as the 'inventory HUD' as this might accommodate future inventory items. Instead there will be a temporary menu called the "Quick Equip HUD" which shows all the essential information on the player's HUD without break the loop with the game and ultimately pausing the experience.

The quick display will instead only reveal essential information:

• A calculation for the power of the weapon based on the different stats of the weapon (calculates the DPS off each weapon)
• A configuration of 4 to 6 weapon slots (6 being probable maximum)
• An organisation of UI that encircles the Player's view

The proposed Inventory system:

• Utilise a similar format to BOTW / TOTK
• Will instead display an UI element indicated no existing implementation
