Equipment Slots (Equip)

You can drag items to dedicated equipment slots. Slots are directly linked to item types.

Equipment Slots (Unequip)

You can drag items from equipment slots, this unequips the item and allows you to place it back to the inventory.

Equipment Slots (Swap)

If there's a item already in equipment slot, you can swap that equipment by dragging a new item to that slot. 

When item gets swapped, the system automatically checks if there's space for item, both in horizontal and vertical space. If there is space, item will be placed directly to inventory. However if there isn't available space for swappable item, the item gets automatically dropped.

Equipment Slot (Drop)

You can drop items directly from the equipment slot using SHIFT + L.MOUSE

Slot Highlight Check

You can hover items on top of the visual character model, if there's an equipment slot for the item, the slot gets highlighted

Fast Equip

You can drop items on top of the visual character model, if there's an equipment slot for the item, the item gets equipped

Character Preview

When you equip/unqeuip items and if the item is linked to character appearance, the visual character model updates. 

The system uses 2D-sprite layers and assings the order of clothing and gear automatically.

Weapon UI Activations

If you have an active primary or secondary weapon on your hand and you unequip the weapon from the equipment, the weapon will be automatically lowered and deactivated.

If you swap an active primary or secondary weapon, the system automatically puts down + deactivates the previous weapon and raises + activates the new weapon.

Equipment HUD Slots

The left column of equipment slots are also shown in the gameplay HUD, when you close the UI. 

The HUD Slots updates automatically if you equip/unequip/drop items from your main UI equipment slots. You can show/hide the HUD with F2.

Pick-up Rotation Grid Space Check

Now if you pick-up item, the system automatically checks if there's space for rotated item.

UI Close Drop 

If you're still dragging an item and you close the UI, the item gets dropped automatically

Unequip Grid Space Check

If you unequip an item, the the system automatically checks if there's space for item, both in horizontal and vertical space. 

If there isn't free space on the inventory grid, the unequipped item get's automatically dropped.

Equipment Slot Hover Tooltip

Equipment slots now react to hover tooltip. If there's an item equipped in a slot, you can see the item stats using ALT hover tooltip toggle.

Optimization & Tweaks

The grid system performs now ~15% faster when theres high amount of items on the grid. 

The background gaussian blur that comes up when the UI is open has been optimized.

The instant drop while holding down SHIFT + L.MOUSE has been removed, now it requires you to press L.MOUSE each time when you want to drop item (it was too fast)

The instant transfer while holding down CTRL + L.MOUSE has been removed, now it requires you to press L.MOUSE each time when you want to transfer item (it was too fast)

Upcoming Features

Character 3D-arm model and textures will be linked to the equipment system, so when you change clothing (Torso or Hands) it will visible also through character arms.

Different kind of items make unique sounds when equipped / unequipped.

Equipment will effect on inventory weight capacity.
