9 == 1.1 - Enemy Inventory ==

11 For looting to be possible, the enemies need to have their own inventory components, similar to the ones the player has. This inventory also has to be populated with the enemy drops, which must be **changeable later using a designer-friendly approach**.

14 My suggestion would be the use of a Data Table, where each enemy will have an entry that holds an array of ItemStacks. The appropriate Data Table entry is then used on the enemy's to populate the enemy inventory.

22

25 * Should the player attempt to move an item but ends the interaction with the enemy corpse, the item is not moved and retains its original place on the enemy's inventory.
26 * Items cannot be moved from the player's inventory to that of the enemy's. One-way only.
27 * Items cannot be placed onto the toolbar directly from the enemy inventory.
