I would first like to suggest an 'object manipulation' and/or 'object matching' help file/wiki page that explains the various commands for object manipulation but also what order targeting looks for matches.
Something like (and I doubt this is the order this game uses):
Code: Select all
The matching system prioritizes like so:
1) Items in your hands
2) Other characters
3) Items worn on your character
4) Items in the room
5) Items inside containers
But then when I put a pelt on a tanning frame and try to clean it, it attempts to target the pelt in my bag (which can't be cleaned in my bag) instead of the one in the frame.
It's inconsistent.
I would also maybe suggest that, if an object is already where you are trying to put it, matching keeps searching for an object that isn't where you want to put it and targets that one instead? So in the aforementioned skull example, even if you match to objects in the room before worn objects, it will see that the first skull is already in the target trash barrel and keeps looking to find the second skull.
