[Help] Right Click Use

[Aquaterion]

I thought this was gonna be easy but apparently the current Right Click Use only works on equipped items, is there a way to use an item without equipping it, or change the text of the rightclick? as I think making a new action would require editing base files?

Since I decided to edit a thread I did before that I didn't need rather than make a new thread, I have to bump it back up so yea.

Using an item (i.e. item with useableitem component) currently does indeed require the item to be equipped, see componentactions:L835). However, other components usually don't require that.

Changing the display text can be accomplished by setting the the action's strfn field + STRINGS.ACTIONS texts.

If you have time, mind providing an example of the action strfn, because I have to go right now, but If can do that, I can easily just put it on another component like sleeping or such.. Thank you for your help again.
