# Loot system

What would be a suitable loot system that's modifiable as our game grows?

It would need a main inventory, a user interface displaying what's "picked up", an object doing the actual picking up, enemies would have to drop the items, it needs to support multiple items. 

 for now i'll be using generic "damage, fjrerate and bullet count" as their names. 

[This is my tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WnAOV7nHW0)

First i went and made it so that there was a[ UI aspect ](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/814832411443593226/823499734076358706/unknown.png)to showcase the inventory in.  

After this was functional i made it so the UI would show a pre-made list of items, that worked without pickups and just added to the inventory list [on startup. ](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/814832411443593226/823505751875649567/unknown.png)

To make it work in our 3D project i've changed it slightly, we use gameobjects[ like so ](https://i.imgur.com/70WbMRK.png) where as the tutorial is based on 2d sprites instead. Eventually i got it to work with in [our project](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/814832411443593226/823519437859848222/unknown.png) Each of these represents a different item. 

Since there was nothing that could do the picking up i added [an object ](https://imgur.com/a/zThepnM)to our camera drone that would solve this. This is so the player picks up items himself and feels more active during gameplay, something that's missing in most tower defenses. 

For now enemies drop loot in ondestroy, this is suboptimal and this will be changed when we add the health system in place.
