Is it possible to add more than one action to a piece of equipment? Like a backpack or container that has a quiver AND a sheath for a knife? or a full body protection suit that has a quiver, gun holster, sheath, and power armor functionality? Would something like that be even possible? If so, how would that be imputed into the item.json file?

I have a start to one,

“type” : “ARMOR”,  
“id” : “backpack\_keeper”,  
“name” : “keeper container”,  
“weight” : 1860,  
“color” : “brown”,  
“covers” : [“TORSO”],  
“to\_hit” : 0,  
“storage” : 60,  
“symbol” : “[”,  
“description” : “A heavily modified leather backpack that has a container for everything. Made from the bones and skins of animals, it has a little more encumbrance but better durability and storage.”,  
“price” : 11900,  
“material” : [“leather”, “bone”],  
“volume” : 12,  
“cutting” : 0,  
“warmth” : 20,  
“phase” : “solid”,  
“environmental\_protection” : 3,  
“encumbrance” : 2,  
“bashing” : -4,  
“coverage” : 60,  
“flags” : [“BELTED”, “QUIVER\_20”, “STURDY”, “WATERPROOF”, “OVERSIZE”],  
“material\_thickness” : 5,  
“use\_action”: “SHEATH\_KNIFE”,  
“use\_action” : “QUIVER”

Would something like this work?

“use\_action”: [“ACTION1”, “ACTION2”]

This also requires you to add those actions to item\_actions.json, so that they can have descriptions.
