[Request] Ability to draw Food, Water and Money from a dedicated group storage or seperate actor.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Ability to draw Food, Water and Money from a dedicated group storage (Bag of Holding, Carriage or the like). While some players like to micromanage certain things, many prefer to just dump all coin, rations and water into group containers. Be they carriages, mounts, bags of holding or just having the barbarian carry everything. Which makes it difficult to use the food and water automation features.
Describe the solution you'd like Not sure if this would be difficult to implement or not. But if the selection screen in the recovery UI could draw from sources like a separate actor sheet that is used as storage, it would solve the problem. As long as the player has permissions of the sheet.
Describe alternatives you've considered Many DMs I know use the Item Piles module as well to handle merchants or group storage by making an actor into an item pile fulfilling the role of a bag of holding or the like. So if it is difficult internally, maybe as a compatibility with that?
Have considered this in the past, with various versions of "allow players to share resources" - problem is that all the rests happen at the same time, so if two people click to add one resource at the same time, what happens? (Both in terms of "what should happen" and "how is that handled technically" - I don't think there's necessarily a clean solution I’m ready to implement currently).
Oh i didn't consider this. Multiple players simultaneously accessing the storage actor when you prompt a long rest or so would confuse the system. I guess, players simply have to first take stuff out from a bag if they put it in there to begin with. i wonder how the item piles module handles that then. Seems to work for loot piles and all that stuff, even when multiple people grab stuff out of it. ye np guess shelve this than.
