    @brief
        The PickupManager class manages @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables".

        It has in essence two tasks to fulfill. Firstly it must link @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" (through their representation-name attribute) to the respective @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentations". Secondly it manages the PickupInventory. (The PickupInventory is the GUI that displays @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" for the covenience of the user.)

        @section PickupManagerTechnicalDetails Technical details
        Unfortunately <em>under the hood</em> it isn't just as easy. At least the PickupInventory part isn't. To grasp why this is we need to have a brief look at how the pickups module works over the network:

        The pickups module essentially just exists on the @ref orxonox::Server "Server", since it's all game logic. That means, a @ref orxonox::PickupSpawner "PickupSpawner" is always triggered on the server, the @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" is then picked up (and maybe used already) on the server. The effects the pickup has are synchronised over the network, if they have to be, but this is the responsibility of the entities that are affected, not the pickups module, and normally this is already implemented. The only two things that need to be communicated over the network are the graphical component of the @ref orxonox::PickupSpawner "PickupSpawner", since it needs to be displayed on the @ref orxonox::Client "Clients" as well, and anything that is needed for the PickupInventory, since it exists for each @ref orxonox::Host "Host" seperatly.

        Fortunately synchronising the @ref orxonox::PickupSpawner "PickupSpawner" is already being taken care of by the synchronisation of the @ref orxonox::StaticEntity "StaticEntity" (or parents thereof).

        This leaves us with the PickupInventory component (and this is really the source of all the complexity).

        Firstly there are a number of lists (where by list I really mean any kind of ordered data structure) kept.
        - The @ref orxonox::PickupManager::representations_ "representations_" list links @ref orxonox::PickupRepresentation "PickupRepresentations" with its name 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.
        - 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".
        - 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".
        - 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.

        There is communication in both directions. From server to client, when the server informs the client that the state of some @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" has changed, during which all necessary information to create or update the PickupInventoryContainer for that pickup on the client is sent as well. Or from client to server, when the client wants the server to change the state of some @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable".
