Architecture
(need a pretty picture)
Item Container Owner
Only an Item Container Owner can have Item Container's. Currently Item Container Owner's must also be a _PlayerCharacter.
Item Container
Item Containers are stored by name so the container name must be unique for it's Item Container Owner.
Item
The base Item class provides events that Item decorator classes can respond to.
Item Appearance
Item appearances are used to visualize an Item in the game world. There are three ways this is done: dynamic geometry and texture swapping, bone tracker node with an attached prop bucket instance and the behave hold command with a prop bucket instance.
