Drag'n'Transfer v1.3.0

v1.3.0 Upgraded for FoundryVTT 0.9.245 compatibility

v1.2.1 Tested for FoundryVTT 0.8.7 compatibility

v1.2.0 Holding ALT while dragging will disable the transfer effect, and allow default Foundry behavior.

v1.1.2 bug fixes and compatability tested for Foundry VTT 0.8.6

v1.1.0 In Drag'n'Transfer module settings, the GM can now explicitly specify that certain actor types are compatable with the "Compatible Actor Types" setting. For instance in dnd5e, its possible for both "character" and "npc" types to transfer inventory. To specify compatible types, use a coma separated list of quoted string pairs separated by a colon character. For instance : "character":"npc"

v1.0.0

Drag'n'Transfer v 1.0.0

A module for Foundry VTT

Enable moving (rather than cloning) inventory between actors by dragging and dropping.

This tool is for GM who want to move items between character sheets, without duplicating them.

Standard Foundry VTT behavior clones items when they are dragged and dropped from 1 actor-sheet to another. If you prefer the item to not be duplicated, this module might be what you are looking for: Drag'n'Transfer causes the item to be deleted from the original sheet when it is dropped onto another actor sheet.

I've tested it with DND5e and alienrpg Systems. Drag'n'Transfer depends on items being recorded using certain JSON values. (In the future I may make this JSON configurable if people send requests). Please tell me if you get it to work on other systems. I didn't specifically target any particular systems, but those are the 2 that I play, so I've tested it with both.

It is important for GM's to test this module in their world because Drag'n'Transfer assumes that the item will be cloned onto the destination. Drag'n'Transfer hooks on the drop action, and doesnt know if another module ALSO hooks onto the drop action and changes the destiny of that dropped item. For example: if another module canceled the cloning, preventing the item from being cloned, Drag'n'Transfer would not know and would still delete the item from the original actor sheet.

Limitation : To prevent deletion of items when they are dropped onto sheets that lack a compatable inventory section, this module will only respond when both the source and target of the drag and drop are both of the same "type". If you are playing a system that gives all actors the same "type", even when they aren't compatable, then this safety check wont work and you must take responsibility to ensure you dont drop items onto target sheets that lack the ability to display the same items as the source.

PRO TIP: If players want to leave things in a room somewhere, you can create an Actor-sheet with a token that looks like a box or container, and then Drag'n'Transfer inventory into it's character sheet. Just leave the token of that actor on the map, and items players want to leave in that room can be recorded inside that actor and need not clutter up your sidebar.

Future Plans: If I can create a generic "Inventory Actory" that is system agnostic and serves as an actor with a token which items can be dragged and dropped from. Such an actor would be cleaner than using a full blown character sheet, and if players had ownership rights over it, then they could access storage lockers placed on a map without the GM needing to move inventory for them.
