Hands assignment

[ReBoot]

Currently, it is kinda strange to find out that I am not able to attack after putting a potion in my hand AFTER I put a dagger in.

What I mean, it is currently not always clear what mouse button (or what attack command) is assigned to which hand.

Suggestion:
make a clear assignment of +attack1 to right hand and +attack2 to left hand.

If you look at your little red guy, the primary weapon/item/shield (The one that's going to be used with mouse1) is green...

Often, I don't see anything green at all (like very small daggers), because they are way too small.

If you have an attack issue; switch hands to use. A simple hand1 & hand2 script would be hell for lefties

And if it were to accommodate lefties, then it'd be hell to righties! (Left handed people versus Right handed people)... I think the current system of switching your primary hand with something like Mouse3 (as it is for me) is perfect.

Aha, does the switch work? I tried it several times but got nothing useful back (namely nothing).

it works perfectly...and has since 1.0...

your hands...are a two handed weapon...you cant switch to them without putting things away...thats the only reason i can think of that would make you think it doesnt work..

I had a dagger in my right hand and the switcher did not assign it to the second attack.

Suggestion: call the switcher automatically as soon as the right hand item is assigned to the second attack.

 

[Netrogor]

Did you have an item in your left hand too?? You need two items out for the switcher to work; otherwise it has no reason to allow you to attack using anything other than the primary mouse1 "+attack" bind...

Have a dagger & a potion out, then try using the switcher & attacking with primary, wait several seconds, use switcher button again & attack with primary. See if each one is different; then get back to this thread

There is a reason to switch: consistency.
