Okay so I've been bandying this idea around for a bit, and nobody told me it was the worst thing on Earth so I'm posting it now. The idea is (relatively) simple:
Make Help Intent safer and more silly, and move the dangerous stuff to lower intents.
If I click on someone with a screwdriver on Help Intent, what I want to do is poke them and be annoying. What actually happens is that I stab them like a meth-addled orangutan and apologize profusely while they bleed everywhere.
A basic implementation of this would look a bit like this:
1. I grab an item that doesn't otherwise have a special function on help intent vs harm.
2. I click on somebody.
3. The chat prints "Nathan Zabloaf [pokes/prods/doinks/baps] John Pubby with his [screwdriver/fire extinguisher/multitool/you get the gist]."
There are some edge cases to this, which I have suggestions for:
THING: Help intent on guns makes you pistol whip people.
SOLUTION: Make it so you need disarm or grab to do that; keep harm intent as shooting; and make help intent nudge somebody with the gun, like a 'move along/hello I am threatening you' gesture.
I'm looking for a few specific things in terms of feedback, alongside 'is it good???':
- What would this break?
- What else have I not covered? and
- What special stuff would you want to see Help Intent do with certain objects?
For one, I'd like to be able to just sort of. . slap people around with food instead of forcefeed them. Poke somebody with a hot dog or pizza slice.
