    7574        The PickupManager class manages @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables".
    7675
    77         It has in essence two tasks to fulfill. Firstly it must link @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" (through their @ref orxonox::PickupIdentifier "PickupIdentifiers") to their respective @ref orxonox:PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentations". Secondly it manages the PickupInventory. (The PickupInventory is the GUI that displays @ref roxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" for the covenience of the user.)

    8988        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::representations_ "representations_" list links @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentations" with @ref orxonox::PickupIdentifier "PickupIdentifiers" and can be used to get the @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation" for a given @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable". It is only populated on the server (or in standalone mode). Each @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation" that is generated through XML registers itself with the PickupManager and is thereby added to the list.
    9089        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::representationsNetworked_ "representationsNetworked_" list is the networked (hence the name) equivalent to the @ref orxonox::PickupManager::representations_ "representations_" list. It links an objectId of a @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation" to a @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation". This list is maintained on all hosts, each representation registers itself (in its constructor) with the PickupManager. Since the representations are synchronised they are created on each host. The "same" instance on each host is identified by the same objectId and that is why we store the representations with the objectId as key. We can then use this list to get a @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation" for a specific @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" (or more precisely a number identifiying that particular pickup, but we'll see that, when we look at the next list) on a client to be used in the PickupInventory.
    91         - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::pickupInventoryContainers_ "pickupInventoryContainers_" list links a number identifying a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" to a data structure (the @ref orxonox::PickupInventoryContainer "PickupInventoryContainer"), which contains all necessary information about that @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable". This list is maintained on all hosts, a new container is inserted when a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" is picked up, but only if it has been picked up by the repsective host. This list is then used by the PickupInventory to access the required information and to get the correct @ref orxonox:.PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation".
     90        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::pickupInventoryContainers_ "pickupInventoryContainers_" list links a number identifying a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" to a data structure (the @ref orxonox::PickupInventoryContainer "PickupInventoryContainer"), which contains all necessary information about that @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable". This list is maintained on all hosts, a new container is inserted when a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" is picked up, but only if it has been picked up by the repsective host. This list is then used by the PickupInventory to access the required information and to get the correct @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentation".
    9291        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::pickups_ "pickups_" list links a number identifiying a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" to a (weak pointer to a) @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable". It is only maintained by the server (or in standalone mode), to be able to use, unuse and drop @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" through the PickupInventory. Since @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" only exist on the server a client that wants to change a pickups status has so send a request over the network (with the number identifying the pickup) to the server and then the server facilitates the change, using this list to map from the identifyer to the actual @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable".
    9392        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::indexes_ "indexes_" list links a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" to the number identifying it. This is only maintained on the server (or in standalone mode), and is used for the inverse mapping of the previous list, which means the server uses it identify pickups on clients when it communicates changes in pickups to clients.
