Allow people to dump out bags


Recommended Posts

Posted

The ability to empty the contents of a bag into the floor is maddeningly gone without individually emptying a bag by hand, so instead I propose allowing people to just dump the contents out into the floor by clicking and dragging the bag to the tile you stand on, or an adjacent tile. This will add a whole new level of RP, by allowing Sec to be an asshole while searching people by dumping their shit in the floor, or allowing antags to be major assholes by dumping a bag full of bombs or other things into the floor. Maybe even just let Cargo dump a bunch of stuff out of their bags to make it faster to fulfill the bounty quotas. The potential is infinite. 

The reason I don't want it to be like an ore satchel or sheet snatcher where it's just use in-hand to dump it out is because I feel like that makes it far too easy to accidentally dump everything out, which would be a tragedy for an antag or sec main trying to reach for stuff.. That and since they lack the capacity to take everything on the tile, it'd be a pain to fill it back up again.

I remember on one server or another you could dump all bags, including satchels, and that's something I've been really missing in the kitchen using plant bags. I rather dump satchels and bags onto tables, instead of onto the floor I'm standing on. If this only includes backpacks I'd like to request the inclusion of satchels.

It should include Backpacks, duffel bags, Satchels. but it does dump it on the floor. Unless you put it on the table and use the verb.

The way I remember it being, you could click the bag, drag it to a table, and it would begin a timer for dumping all objects onto that tile of table? I would like to see this functionality either return or be added. However I'm fine with having a "dump bag" verb to use instead as long as the intended effect is the same. TY!

You should be able to do that right now with this PR. Place bag on table, go to Object tab and hit Empty Content. It will do delay timer which is based on how much stuff you have in a bag and it will empty it on the table.
