Items dropped can't be picked up close to other objects

Postby greg04186 » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:33 am

Today I bought some drowsing rods. I was transferring them to my inventory and ctrl-clicked instead of shift-clicked the item by mistake. I was freaking out because they were right beside a barrel. I thought I wouldn't be able to pick them up. But after a few tried I was successful. I was lucky.

This is obviously a bug. If an item is on the ground next to a structure or something else, as long as it isn't under or blocked by that object, one should be able to pick it up.

I haven't seen a bug report on this, so thought I would bring it up. I'm sure most everyone is aware of it, but it needs to be fixed.

Thanks

not sure if this is a bug since you picked it up might be how it works when a person is looking inside a obj

Obvious bug that anyone who has been playing for any sort of time as ran into. This happens when foraging/trying to pick up items that are too close to objects or on a slightly different elevation as well.

Or when you get ko'd from a snake bite while afk running back to base (I clicked on the map and went to the bathroom quick) and run into a tree resulting in half your items being "stuck" under the tree after you get ko'd. Almost had the stump gone when they disappeared (98%). I spent too long trying to actually find the place XD .
