Picking up inventory items

Post by P1ayer27 »

Players cannot pickup inventory items unless they are moving on the X or Y axis. Z movement doesn't count. If you pick up some ammo, and then stand in that same spot until it respawns, you won't pick it up until you start walking, and even jumping won't let you pick it up. Is there any way to change this behavior, and should this be considered a bug?

No and no.

It's just oddness with DOOM's physics engine. And while I'd prefer movement not be neccesary at all, it's probably not going to change soon.

And there's no workaround I can do?

In EGDE player can get itens without moving, maybe something could be taken form that code ( supposing that its possible), if its required on future SVNs.
