12 -Every enemy in the game needs to have access to their very own inventory. This can probably use the {{info}}MAWInventoryComponent{{/info}} already used for the player, though there are gonna be some extra things to it so a new component might be needed. The inventory will be populated with items on __enemy spawn__ instead of on-death. The items that will occupy the inventory will be defined through a {{success}}Data Table{{/success}}, so designers can easily tweak values later on.

31 -To start looting a target, the player must be within __interaction range__// //of the enemy's corpse, and press the interaction button while looking at said corpse.

35 -The player can move items from one inventory to another by __Dragging & Dropping__ the desired item. The looting interaction has 2 types based on the container being looted:

39 -|One-Way (e.g. Enemy Corpse)|The player can only move items from the enemy's inventory to their own and **not** the other way around.
40 -|Two-Way (e.g. Chest)|The player can move items between **both** inventories, allowing them to off-load items if they wish to in this container.
