10 Weapon/Equippable Hot Bar Slots and Multiple Hot Bars

With 0.7.0.0 coming out with milestone equippables and RC cars, it’ll be hard to fit your favorite items in just a single 8-slot weapon hotbar. It would be helpful if there were 10 slots in the hot bar to fit in 2 extra items.

It’d also be helpful if you could have multiple weapon/wearable hot bars. How this could work is there could be a button in the Q menu to make a new hot bar, and then you could put the items you want into it. You could switch hot bars by binding a key to switch or by pressing a button in the Q menu to switch (like in the example image below).

I just made this in MS Paint, so that’s why it looks bad and un-centered

I made a thread similar to this a while ago

And I still agree with it.
I like the idea of instead of multiple hotbars have it setup so you can put multiple items in one slot and then press that slots key to scroll the items.
a helpful example is stacking all builder items into one slot and having to just press that slot key to change tool. (Similar to source)

Having more slots for equipping would be great as well. 20 maybe?

Though it starts getting messy quickly but it could be expanded like MMORPGs too where you can use Shift + [num] and CTRL + [num] to select hotbars. That’d increase our possibilities easily and quickly by 2-3x.

Or I like what Spookz said, having groups per number that you can cycle through seems really good, I like these solutions better than just expanding to 10 slots because then you can set up like 1 number for RC things to cycle, 1 number for throwables etc. or whatever you want.

right but we should still have 10 slots :stuck_out_tongue:
8 is an odd amount and we have 1 to 9 and the 0 key

yeah there are too many items that you need the tool bar for and there isn’t enough space
this idea would be really useful.

This old idea could also be really useful for the amount of items


with a hotkey and a menu to pop up while you holding a certain type item, like the emitter type guns, the throwables, the condo tools and such.
So you have one of the current guns in your toolbar and old down a key and you can select from the potato, bubble, spooky or the normal confetti guns if you have them (or you can drag them manually) from the circle select that i show above (but with the correct guns), then it can have the same thing but for all the throwables items and such, although the only downside i would see for my idea is the with more items it will make it can harder to find stuff with more items, but it would be quicker than dragging manually.

or to go onto your idea you can have toolbar layouts when either you join the lobby and it has your layout to show off your cool stuff, your own condo or a community condo so it will give you all the building tools, or someone else’s condo where it may have a seperate layout or similar one to the lobby to show off. Then you will also be able to change the layout of items through the different hot bars idea you gave.

the toolbar does need something though since it’s going to become a annoying problem to keep dragging items off and back in to your toolbar with all the new stuff.

Yeah, I think Spookz idea would be the most useful. It’s simple but makes managing the hot bar a lot easier
