[B41 / B42] bikinitools - independent vehicle spawner, skin changer and automations!
Feature Suggestion: (Corpse / Container) Loot List with Actions
A nice convenience function would be to have a "Loot List" function for Zeds / floor tiles (or even Containers aswell, because In essence the functionality for those would be very similar I suppose)

In both, this would merely be an abstraction / automation of player actions so:

- Get list of containers / corpses in an area (could be configurable)
- execute required actions to get close enough - e.g. walking to get contents of corpses / containers / items on ground tiles the "vanilla" way
- store all found contents and their locations
- output list of all found contents, similar items are grouped, basically a new ui window similar to the normal inventory view
- ability to then
-> loot all
-> loot single
-> loot marked items (shift / ctrl implementation like normal inventory)
-> Context menu for each item, so you can execute "disassemble" for example
- mod will now queue actions to "go" to the container / tile and loot or execute the actions (if context menu can be implemented) - so no "magic" like sucking in the items out of the players reach.

This is basically an abstraction of what the player has to do by hand when a lot of Zeds died in an area.

Ideally it takes the tedium out of looting Zeds, without removing any of the games dangers (since your character still adheres to the "inspection" range - so has to walk to a container or zed / tile to "see" it's contents).

While "piling" corpses is kind of similar, but I still have to "shift + scrollwheel" through hundreds of zeds which is... well soul crushing to be honest. And also an UI nightmare because if I go away / move it looses the "current" zed I was looking at, thus e.g. making me look at one zed multiple times because now the order of the "list" to scroll through has been changed (vanilla "issue")

Hi! This sounds really useful and also very work intensive to implement. I'd have to put something like that into the future as I have a lot on my plate currently. Very well laid out and a good idea. Thank you!
