Cardboard Cutouts! - Snake - 08-27-2021
Could we get a craftable/buyable item that allows us to lay down temporary "Cardboard Cutouts" with an icon file size of at most 250 kbs of size?
This is mostly to make non-permanent markers on the ground. I'm running some mini-events using a DnD system, and it's a little complicated to display the position of some enemies and NPCs I'm narrating, so those would help tons on making these things more fun.
Basically how it'd work is similar to Scarecrows. On use, you get a menu with the options (Use), (Customize), (Destroy One), (Destroy All) and (Cancel).
(Use) - Lays them down under your current position.
(Customize) - Change their icon.
(Destroy One) - Deletes a single cardboard cutout made by you, from a list.
(Destroy All) - Deletes all cardboard cutouts made by you.
(Cancel) - Cancels SL2 on twitter.
Once you lay them down, they'll be simply named 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
You and other players can destroy them any time by double clicking the Cardboard Cutout and having another menu pop up, with (Change Name), (Change Icon State) and (Destroy) options. But only the owner can move them around to reposition through drag and drop.
For limitations:
- They get erased on reboot, as they are not saved in the map. They're also erased if an instance is deleted, like campfires or BDPs.
- They cost 100 Murai to be made, after you press the "Use" option.
- They can be destroyed by other players.
- Only a maximum of 8 cutouts can be made by a single player at any time.
- In case someone has 'too much fun' with those, a GM should have a verb to blacklist certain keys from utilizing this feature.
I'm also providing a possible placeholder icon file for that. Check it out!

Dungeon masters rise up.
Back in World of Warcraft, we used raid markers in a similar fashion to represent enemies and objects of interest in D&D-styled events and other roleplaying scenarios. It proves an incredibly useful and versatile tool for creative event runners.

I want ninjas to get a skill that can let them disappear and leave a cardboard cutout (because logs are kinda lame)
