Paper bins and Intent - DreamCarver - 07-31-2016
Yo, I made a forum account finally. So without further ado...
I've recently been reminded of the fact that it is impossible to pick a paper bin off the ground and set it back onto the table that someone knocked it off of. The only way to get the thing off of the floor is by either disassembling the table, or pulling it around and clicking where you want to place it. But what if, similar to desk lamps, the intent which you clicked the bin with changed what you did with it?
Help: Pick up bin
Disarm: Put paper back into bin (or just click the bin with a paper in hand)
Grab: Get a paper out of the bin
Harm: ???
This could also go for towel bins! (Also, make towel bins movable)
Also, if I just haven't poked paper bins enough to know that something here is already in the game, don't hesitate to call me out on being silly.

You can click drag the paper bin to your sprite to pick it up.
Adding the same behavior to towel/cloth bins would be cool though.

I'm still petitioning for putting excess papers back into the bins and stuff though.

Clickdragging paper into a bin like how produce and ore work would be nice
