80    @brief
81        The Pickup class offers (useful) base functionality for a wide range of pickups.
82
83        Pickups inheriting from this class can choose an activation type and a duration type.
84        - The <b>activationType</b> deals with what happens to the Pickup as soon as it is picked up. It can either be set to <em>immediate</em>, which means that the Pickup is activated/used immediately upon being picked up. Or to <em>onUse</em>, which means, that the Pickup will be activated/used if some outside entity (most commonly the player through the PickupInventory) decides to use it. Default is <em>immediate</em>.
85        - The <b>durationType</b> deals with whether the Pickup has a continuous effect or whether its effect is focused on a singular instant. It can either be set to <em>once</em>, which means, that the Pickup just has an effect (at a singular instant in time) and is done once that effect has been applied. Or to <em>continuous</em>, which means that the effect of the Pickup unfolds over some timespan. Default is <em>once</em>.
86
87        If it were not an abstract class it could for example be used as follows in XML.
88        @code
89        <Pickup activationType="onUse" durationType="continuous" />
90        @endcode
91        In reality you can (naturally) use the parameters <b>activation type</b> and <b>duration type</b> in any pickup inheriting from Pickup, unless the pickup already specifies one (or both) of the parameters.
