All characters use Wilson's "I can't do that." quote despite having their own

    • Known Issue

Despite each character having their own quote for failing an action, they all use Wilson's. This is particularly jarring with Wormwood - he never refers to himself in his quotes, and rarely ever speaks full sentences at all.

It's especially common when trying to plant seeds while blooming and bees are flying nearby - if a bee flies over the spot you try to plant a seed on, Wormwood will say "I can't do that." The speech file indicates he should be saying "Nope" instead.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pick Wormwood
2. Do something that would cause an ongoing action to fail (like have something block seed planting mid-animation)
3. Notice the quote

Third time's a charm, huh?

Spoiler

function GetActionFailString(inst, action, reason)
    local character =
        type(inst) == "string"
        and inst
        or (inst ~= nil and inst.prefab or nil)

    local specialcharacter =
        type(inst) == "table"
        and ((inst:HasTag("playerghost") and "ghost") or
            (inst:HasTag("mime") and "mime"))
        or character

    local ret = GetSpecialCharacterString(specialcharacter)
    if ret ~= nil then
        return ret
    end

    character = string.upper(character)

    return (STRINGS.CHARACTERS[character] ~= nil and getcharacterstring(STRINGS.CHARACTERS[character].ACTIONFAIL, action, reason))
        or getcharacterstring(STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.ACTIONFAIL, action, reason)
        or (STRINGS.CHARACTERS[character] ~= nil and STRINGS.CHARACTERS[character].ACTIONFAIL_GENERIC)
        or STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.ACTIONFAIL_GENERIC
end

Oh boy finally. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
