Tutorials - Character Inventory

The Character Inventory feature lets you assign and track resources, such as currencies, materials, or consumables, to characters. Staff can define resource types, create inventories, add resources from the NPC bank, and track every transfer. Players can view their inventory on their character sheet and transfer resources to other characters at any moment.

Setup: Pool Types

Before creating inventories, define the types of resources characters can hold. To do this, go to the Pool Types panel and click "Add" to create a new resource type.

Set as Name the name of the resource (e.g. "Money", "Weapons", "Reagents").

Note: all pool types you define here will appear as separate balance rows in every inventory.

Inventories

Go to the Inventories panel to see all inventories for the event. A character can own multiple inventories, and an inventory can be shared by multiple characters.

Note that a personal inventory for each character is created automatically for each character. It is named <Character Name>'s Personal Storage and is assigned to that character as its sole owner. This means you do not need to create individual inventories manually for every character, as they are provisioned automatically.

To create a new Inventory (for example for a bank or a guild), click "New". Define the following values:

• Name: a label for the inventory.
• Owners: one or more characters that have access to this inventory. 

Viewing and Managing an Inventory

From the Inventories panel, click the view icon next to an inventory to open its detail page.

The first section is Currencies & Materials, with a row for each pool type with the current balance. Staff can add resources directly from the NPC bank by entering an amount and clicking "Add from NPC". A Reason field is available to record why the resources were added. The source inventory must have enough resources (transfers that exceed the available balance will be rejected).

Note: Staff can transfer from any inventory to any other inventory, or from/to the NPC bank. Players can transfer only from inventories they own, and cannot transfer to or from the NPC bank.

Note: "NPC" in the transfer log means the event's resource bank; it represents resources entering or leaving the game economy.

The second section is Transfer Log: a full history of every transfer involving this inventory, showing the time, the staff member or player who performed the transfer, the source and target inventories, the resource type, the amount, and the reason. 

Player View

On the player's character sheet, an Inventories section appears listing all inventories owned by that character. Each inventory card shows the name and the current balance of every resource type, with a link to the inventory detail page.

Players can open the detail page to view their transfer history and send resources to other characters' inventories.
