[Gameplay] - Unable to pick up certain items

[Wareman]

Bug Submission: <br /><br />Category: Gameplay<br />Issue Title: Unable to pick up certain items<br />Issue Description: There is a bug where it is difficult to pick up certain items in the game, particularly dress items such as the beefalo hat. The dapper vest cannot be picked up from the ground at all. <br />Steps to Reproduce: The issue is that when the mouse hovers over the item, it does not light up and give a name. Sometimes when the mouse pointer is pointed to a close distance to the item but not on the item itself, the item then is highlighted. The dapper vest can never be highlighted on the ground. A fix would probably be to recalibrate the mouse pointer with the items.<br />

@Wareman, That's weird, I've never heard of anyone encountering this bug before. How are you obtaining these items? If you're spawning them in as a client, that's the sort of behavior I'd expect to see-- not being able to click on them or pick them up, because they don't actually exist on the server.

I encountered the same problem today in DST: died and dropped the Dapper Vest. After retrieving all my items, it was impossible to pick up the vest - no matter how much I hovered or turned the camera, I was unable to interact with this item. It is still lying there

It looks like the export on certain inventory items got screwed up somewhere along the line--the issue is that there's a hover layer that the mouse pointer checks against for showing the highlight/name that doesn't seem to be working properly. We'll take a look once we're back from break (I'm one of the stragglers in the office at this point).

 

In the meantime, if you're encountering this issue, press spacebar when you're near the item in order to pick it up.
