We could really have great use for something that enables per-player variables/states  
to be set upon interaction with items.

Possibly a custom **“NamedCheck”** _boolean (true/false)_ that can be set on **interacting (E)** with an object,  
or static/built in ones if that is too much of a headache?

Usecase would be for instance to check states like:

an NPC, having **“TalkedToNPC (NPCName)”** as _condition_ for an action of an IO Item.  
Or **“HasTriggered (TriggerVolumeName)”**  
Or **"HasInteractedWith (ItemName/PlushieName/ObjectName)**

_Any_ of these sorts would open up alot of mechanical and gameplay flow that we cannot use at the moment, which affects/sets a state for a player reaching a point/interacting with something themselves specifically.
