Hi Craig and Ian
Thanks for the explanation. I'm thinking of exploring markdown - how easy is
it to get started and what programmes would I need? I have been using
Microsoft word to do htm files but that is hardly ideal. I'm assuming I have
to learn the syntax.

Hi Craig,
You can give working with items a shot and let me know if you hit issues.
The items list is stored here:
someUnit.Inventory.Items;
Here's some helpful properties that exist on an item object:
Quantity: number;
Useable: boolean;
Stackable: boolean;
Tiles also have an Inventory property, but it is not exposed to script in
the current version.
I've just changed that so it will be available in the next version.
When adding an item to an inventory you should call:
someUnit.Inventory.AddItem(myItem);
This handles stacking the same item types together with a summed quantity.
It also removes the item from the old inventory if it was attached to one.
An Item keeps a reference to it's parent inventory which also gets updated
through this method.
All undocumented, sorry, smile.
+1 for the mark down is awesome comments. That and TypeScript are my 2
favorite development related finds in the past 2 years.
Good luck!
Ian Reed
