    @brief
        The PickupListener class facilitates the flow of information regarding the picking up, dropping, using and unusing of @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" to interested parties (such as the @ref orxonox::PickupManager "PickupManager").

        All you need to to do be notified is to inherit from PickupListener and implement the two methods <code>pickupChangedUsed()</code> and <code>pickupChangedPickedUp()</code>.
