Key problem, lol

Postby weirdg » Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:23 am

Got home late, drunk and dropped the key. I'm sure some of you recognize the problem, lol.

Problem was I couldn't pick it up again

Ended up destroying the gate to gain entry again...

No, definitely a bug. If a player drops something, it should be more than possible to bend over and pick an item back up. It's something to do with the bounding boxes of the character or the building in question. Maybe the item should be collectible even if the avatar bounding box can be placed over it, even if the item isn't directly under center.

This really needs a fix. I am standing next to a feather now that is dropped next to my lean-to (due to inventory explosion) and can't pick it up.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

I agree, items should never fall where they would not be able to be picked up again.

Doesn't it drop right underneath you. Assuming you accidentally control clicked it or something, it should be in a spot where you can get it.

That's the problem. They don't. They always seem to just up under the fence, forge, tree, etc. when you drop an item.

Perhaps make it so that items that are not directly underneath you can be picked up.

My character is touching its edge, but can't pick it up! D:

This!

It's the same mechanism that prevents you from picking up an item that has spawned near a hill edge. Which I certainly hope is not intentional. I know it makes sense not being able to pick stuff up while focused on wall-hugging along a hill area, but some of these items would be really easy to pick up if you could pick up things directly next to you and not just when you are basically standing on it. @_@ It doesn't make sense why you can't pick up an item not even a pixel away from you, lol.

If it requires scanning for a tiny radius around the character then I can deal with it requiring an extra pick up command and maybe even a tech, but it should be possible in some way and form to pick up some of these items directly next to you that are still apparently out of your reach at the moment.
