Global vendor inventory

Post by mullvad » 12 Dec 2016, 08:23

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Give all sulaco armory vendors a common shared inventory, this to make it less painful to search for a specific thing that is sold out on most vendors.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Vendors now fit their "lore" of being attached to one gigantic storage.

"A automated weapon rack hooked up to a colossal storage of standard-issue weapons and armor."

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Vendors share their inventory.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Keep a global list of items that exist inside the armory vendors, maybe even slowly regenerate it over time.

Not a bad idea.

What if a single Baldie vends all the AP ammo using one vendor and then shoves it in a pizza and eats it?

That could be resolved by imposing a rolling limit, one vendor can only remove X items within Y seconds.

That man isin't a Baldie
He is a minigun disguised as a Baldie, he NEEDS AP ammo to live and fire.

But on serious, i guess this can be done?
