Swtiching weapons causing flatfootedness

Post by Novia »

It seems to be a bug unless for some reason this was intentional. i have not noticed this in any other modules. Not that I play many modules, but in the other few that I have played, i have noticed that this was not the case.
The problem:
I have the weapons dragged onto the hotkey bar. whenever i switch weapons using the hotkey, it causes me to become flatfooted, even when in the middle of a fight, and also cancels the entire action queue. I have found this fairly annoying.. it would be really nice if it were fixed

It is intentional.

Kinda logic if you look at if from a RL kind of view, since you proberly goes thru some kind of stop in fighting when changing to a new weapon.

On another note, this was proberly more put in to stop a bug that enabled players to have up to 3 more attacks per round when swiching weapon.

i tested this out today and found that while it does make the use of this exploit more difficult, it does not stop the exploit. Short of explaining how, it wasn't very difficult or creative.

So hang your hat on the RP aspect cause the original intent was not achieved.

Note that locks don't prevent people from getting into your house, although it does make it more difficult. They just keep honest people honest. :P
