Detgadget hat activation phrase is too sensitive - Frank_Stein - 09-30-2017
So, I like to give the hat a shorter activation phrase to speed up the process of retrieving items.
At one point I was using "dhat" and then shortened it to just "d" and noticed something:
The hat only looks for any occurrence of the activation phrase in a sentence, rather than the phrase by itself. In the case of me setting it to "d" any occurrence of the letter "d" in a sentence was enough to set the hat off.
Now, unless you follow that up with the trigger word for an item, this only gives you a mildly annoying error message, but messing with it I could say something like "hand scanner" and the hat would read that as "d scanner" and retrieve the forensic scanner
Obviously, this is easily avoided by just using an uncommon activation phrase that isn't likely to come up in normal conversation

The hat launching scanners out unexpectedly is hilarious. Feature!
