Item Tags

These are Tags assigned to Inventory System Items that are generally hidden from the player's direct view, but are used internally to count several different items as being equivalent for certain purposes.

Tags which Impact Behavior or UI

Expendable / Consumable

These items can be expended or consumed, and disappear from existence.

Quantity

These items have a quantity tag, and will show their quantity in the inventory list.

They may also specify a unit type which can be smart enough to give it a label, abbreviation, or even cause it to flip to a currency view like $200.

They can also specify a maximum, and refer to a scene of dialogue to play if you're already maxed out.

Package Type can also be specified, either Persistent, Ephemeral, or another item to transform into once the quantity reaches empty.

Stackable

If an item is Stackable, and another same item is acquired, their quantities add together. Otherwise, they are each listed separately, and each one goes from its current quantity until it gets down to empty, at which point it can either leave behind an empty or disappear depending on the package type option.

Bound

These items are bound to the Character who owns them, and cannot be transferred to another character.

Scenario Specific

These items are known to be signifiant to currently active scenario objectives. Once acquired, they cannot be disposed of by any means outside of the Scenario that calls for their use.
