+--- Thread: certain tools shouldn't work on harm (/showthread.php?tid=23616)
certain tools shouldn't work on harm - RSOD - 02-16-2025
if i want to say, break down a door, realistically i'd think "yeah a crowbar might do the trick, i dunno"
only to then realise that the standard spessman does not know what "hitting a door with a crowbar / screwdriver" is. Huh.
yeah basically all i'm asking is for tools to substitute their action for hitting the object (if it is destructible) if you're on harm intent
edit: it took me a good second to realise i worded the title like shit. whoops.

Agree and we do it on some items but there's so many.
It would be nice if Help was universally non-combat and Harm was, to actually use the intent system.

indeed, sometimes the intent system feels underused with a bunch of features, like the "hitting doors" problem i mentioned earlier.
i'm worried it'd take a loong time to fix and/or polish the intent interaction system, given how many items and cases for each are in place, but i'm no dev, so this is just a mildly educated guess

I kinda hate how I sometimes want to see if I can use a tool gently on something and I end up "SMACKING IT" sometimes "BREAKING IT"
