Containers as additional sheet

gsterling commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since containers basically have the same functionality as a merchant without the payment aspect. We could use merchants as such. It's a much wanted feature from the community for foundry vtt. I haven't found anything that's working for savage worlds unfortunately.

Describe the solution you'd like Containers would be merchants with the same layout, besides some small changes. "Buying" and "selling" would be free. "Selling" should always add the item to the inventory of the container. Some strings need to be changed and the buttons for selling and buying modifier be removed.

Additional ideas

Add button to "lock" a container
- Either remove permissions for everyone (but this might be confusing as you couldn't open the sheet) or only show "Locked" and not items for players on the sheet.
Containers could even be used to have dead NPCs lootable. Just change the used NPC-Sheet (and permissions) and you are good to go. Maybe also automatically change all permissions to "Observer", since everyone can potetially loot the dead NPC. It's not locked or anything.

Additional context This could be done as a seperate module, since it's not really a "merchant", but since it will use a lot of the same code, I figured, it could be added to this module as well. I really wish I could help you, but unfortunately I don't have any expertise in JS or web development.

Similar to this , a sheet for emulate a "Chest" so no "buy" and "sell", but "get" and "put"

I just saw this module. I think that would be a good module for loot. https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-ItemPiles

It also uses socketlib to make the piles lootable without full ownership. Do you also do that or might it help you?

This module uses the socketlib library so that players can modify the contents and the look of item piles without having to have full ownership of the item piles. Without it, they could only drop items and create item piles using pile actors they own.

Hmm I think I will have a look at it as I have switched to sockets for helping me with the merchant decrease and increase. Maybe it can make it more stable.
