Facehugger can unfasten grilles/fences

[TheSpoonyCroy]

Bug Description:With a facehugger in hand you can unfasten grilles. So I doubt that is intentional, I noticed this because I was going to destroy a grille but a facehugger was in my hand and I noticed it just unfastened a grille for reasons. I only know this works on grilles not sure if they actually act like screwdrivers or its just an odd quirk

Note: apparently if you unfasten a fence it can't be fasten back while normal grilles can

Edit:Ok did a test round where I just used the facehugger on a bunch of objects and the only thing that had an unusual effect was just grilles. Of course I missed serveral objects but APCs,Recharge station, Machines, Computers were checked and nothing

Edit 2: This also works on electric grills and as a spitter it doesn't harm me but harms runners for reasons

Steps to reproduce:
1.Get facehugger
2.Find a grille
3.Use said facehugger on grille

+1 can confirm. I tried playing as alien with hugger in hand, and I got the magical ability to unscrew grilles.

[sicktrigger]

i would very much like to see the piece of code that is causing this

[Kryfrac]

This is quite the interesting bug.
Hugdrivers.

As sicktrigger said, I'd like to see the code that caused this haha.

[Infernus]

Does it give the sound and action log as if you used the screwdriver?

[ZDashe]

Yes, it gives off the sound and has an action log too.

Edit: I just saw another alien player doing it and dragging the grilles away, so yea, action log and sound confirmed.
> Runner (603) unfastens the grille.

This is clearly natural xeno evolution and the answer to e-grilles. Just need a caste to evolve insulated hands.

How in the hell did this even happen? Did someone mess with the hugger code recently?

[Infernus]

There was an issue before on previous CM source where you could use the facehugger to access the shuttle console. I'll search the code to see if anyone fixed that in the past. It may be related.

The bug has more,you can do this with wielded guns

[TheSpoonyCroy]

Actually MauroVega is right! You can also use a combat knife and backpack as well. This has to be something to do with the Grille's code. This bug is getting real strange

[coroneljones]

Also works with pred wristblades

[Infernus]

Does it actually pass the access request?
Try the emitter button in engineering. It is restricted to engineers only.

[TheSpoonyCroy]

Ok been doing some looking around ie I screwed around for a round. My results are basically every single object (Not 100% sure on that claim but I did test: Rack parts, Soap, SB radio, Headset, Jade lipstick, Marine law, deck of cards, space cleaner, Lazarus Landing Map, Cane, Flare (both states), T-ray scanner, Both toolbox types, Medical backpack, medical satchel, Marine Backpack, both types of paper, pen, top hat, black suit, waistcoat, battery, floor tile, phoron tank, oxygen tank, uniform, armor, smg, shotgun, gloves, medical hud, obviously facehuggers since that is how this whole started and that about it) can unfasten grilles for some reason but they can't fasten them back besides I think regular grilles with facehuggers (I don't know why either)

Per Infernus' request I did try to use the access locked button (nexus lockdown, planetside, sec area) with no luck as a medic, even with a item in hand I couldn't use it but someone could try emitter button to see if that causes issues

[Yottawhat]

It should be noted that you can't use a hugger on a e-grille, you'll just get zapped.

LEAVE IT, LEAVE THE FUNNY QUIRK ALONE!!!!

Fixed. I'm pretty positive that some other servers might have the same bug due to how silly and stupid it is.
Apparently, to unscrew it, you had to hit it with a screwdriver OR it simply had to be anchored, and any item/weapon would work on it.
