Allow Item Drop doesn’t have an option to separate inventory (5 slots you get) and resources (when you press Tab). Since games track progress using resources you don’t want them to drop their resources, but in some games where loot you hold is important, you want them to be able to drop a weapon and swap to another.
@Wertandrew Thank you for your feedback. While I cannot guarantee a response, I can confirm that this has been forwarded to the appropriate team.
I agree that this is mostly annoying now that we can use Save Point Device
to use resources as a mean of storing data
Agreed this is needed
It would be sick if we could allow players to only drop their 5 weapon slots, and not their resources.
This would come in especially handy until we get a proper database system.
As of now, the save point device seems very unreliable, and the best way to store your data is by representing your data by serializing it into amount of some resource
. You can store a 32-bit int in each resource. Now the problem with this is, we’ll have to disable item dropping, which could be a huge problem for many gamemodes!
