GGMax Enhancement - Hud0 functionality extension

[Necrym59]

Perhaps a new HUDCUSTOM.lua can be implimented that sits alongside HUD0.lua that the engine can load in and apply extra rules or conditions to anything happening in the HUD screens. A simple example is changing the rules for a particular item in the player inventory, wether it can be flagged to be able to be moved between other inventories or not, eg: chests. Or condtions for weight and or item sizes may come into play in this extra lua extension. Varied conditions could be applied to entities in hud control before movement/use. This may also facilitate extension sections within the inventory for specialised groups of entities.

NOTE: In order that HUDCUSTOM.lua can immediately be put to work, I also suggest some HUD0.lua hooks in key functionality locations so actions can be intercepted. Feel free to post ideas here for more hooks that would become useful in designing more expansive HUD interactions:

ITEM TRANSFER PERMISSION = A condition that gates the final transfer of an item from one container (player/hotswap/chest/etc) to another, allowing custom logic to decide whether an item can or cannot be transferred based on the items attributes

ITEM DROP PERMISSION = A condition to decide if the item can be dropped

ITEM USE PERMISSION = A condition to decide if the item can be used from within the inventory system (i.e. potion vs high level potion)

Ok, so those are excellent starting points and as these relate to permissions for existing processes in the hud0.

Perhaps also for later examination we can extended this idea to allow for sectionlised inventories eg:

ITEM SECTION PERMISSION = a condition so an item can be only placed into a inventory section eg: Armour, Potions etc.

ITEM_DESTROY_PERMISSION = To decide if item is destroyed if dropped or specifically can be destroyed via button.
