Add trackable ammunition for weapon instances #436

Closed vertigoogle closed 4 months ago

vertigoogle commented 10 months ago

My players have a hard time to track their shots left in their blasters, bowcasters and so on.

So I thought it would be nice to be able to let the system do the work for them, like I saw in this roll20-featured player group: image

The implementation of this could have 2 steps:

  1. Enable a field on the weapon instance in the inventory for max ammon and current ammo 1a. Bonus: Implement a button to reload a weapon by using a energy cell or power pack in the inventory 1b. Bonus: Implement a button at energy cells, power packs to mark (or unmark) them as used/empty

  2. Automatically draw shots from the weapon, when an attack is rolled 2a. Bonus: Calculate the drawn shots by attack mode (Autofire, Single Shot, Stun...) 2b. Bonus: Prevent attack roll (or show a notification in chat instead) when an unloaded weapon is used, meaning not enough shots are left in the energy providing item

Let me know what you think about this feature!

ammo tracking should occur when a change is added to a weapon with the "ammo" key

reopening to host feedback

next step will be to add more feedback and lock this feature behind a configuration option.

i think that the attack message should include some information. feedback when there is not enough ammo or new ammo packs makes sense to me also.
