Items you are holding randomly dropping when having splinted legs.

Post by Evan Stelf » 06 Feb 2016, 21:33

Bug Description: The problem I was having, was that I was keep randomly dropping items I was carrying while having a broken, splinted leg. I don't know if it still happens with un-splinted legs or limbs. It was a really big problem a round since I was using weapons and grenades. At one point, I had a primed grenade, ready to throw, and I dropped it. Almost killing another person. It was a hassle, since I couldn't do much fighting. I don't know if this is just a one time thing or now. Thanks! ^_^


Steps to reproduce:
1.Have a marine or alien break your leg.
2.Have a doc or marine splint your leg.
3.Hold weapons or grenades, and watch them randomly fall

What exactly happened to leave you with broken, splinted legs?

It could be that you had hand fractures, given that crusher stomped on you, leading you to drop things. I don't think this is a bug. A lot of things can lead to dropping items, such as: blood loss, fractures, cyber arm malfunctions, or pain.

I wasn't "screaming in pain" When I dropped it, it would randomly drop from my hand with no notice, I also scanned myself before too. I didn't have any blood loss, not injuries, or anything besides my leg, it was just weird.

Fractures don't show up on the scanner, and may not cause pain. Though, I think they should typically. I posted in another topic how I collapsed a lung with no visible outer injuries, and the scanner told me I was fine. I think it's fairly likely you had fractures.

I also noticed items randomly dropping from my hands while my arms and hands were ok. If someone can pinpoint the exact way to replicate the bug, I can fix it, or at least notify the user why it drops it.
