Keeping Empty Items Glitch

[jknitt 5]

I've noticed sometimes that when I eat or drink something sometimes I wind up keeping that item but it will be at 0% in my inventory. It seems to happen most often if I have a server restart or a disconnect and have to switch servers. However, I've noticed it also happens at random without changing servers. So I'll eat an orange and then instead of disappearing I'll still have an orange in my pocket. Usually I forget about it and then try to eat it later only to find out that d'oh! it's 0% and nothing is left.

 

I wonder if anyone has come along after I threw good looking but empty items on the ground and tried to eat or drink them. Poor guys!

Yes, happens to me almost every time I eat something.

 

The solution is simply take off whatever has the "empty" slots and put it back on again. It fixes the issue 100% of the time. ;)

I just throw it on the ground and it's no problem. It's funny though, to see an unopened can of soda or a pristine apple laying there with the option to pick it up but in reality there's nothing there.

 

I wonder if it's related to how you could use an empty tin can to drink water in the mod?

Thanks for the link. However, it sounds like you're having a different problem. My items aren't invisible, I can actually see them and interact with them. They're just empty and unusable.

 

Both are quite frustrating though, I'm sure!

Thanks for the heads up, the topics are related as your problem is the basis of mine as the items are not invisible unless they are empty. Hopefully this can be fixed as I used to have just your problem where you could grab them and throw them out or drop your gear to clear them out but now, it's gone beyond that into a malicious cycle every time a consumable is used. Just beware of the invisible banana, when you need that last slot at the wrong moment it will creep up on you and you wont be able to get rid of it.

That happen every time you are too quick (you don't wait for the end of eat process and you start doing something else like eat again) and more often if you interact with object on vicinity tab and use eat/drink command directly from there, the last thing will also often generate a bugged invisible slot.

Now i'm taking everything with me before starting eat/drink action and i wait until the animation removes automatically the item. that has completly removed the bug. I've never generated a 0% item in the last 2 weeks ;)

Again, I need to reiterate that my problem is NOT with invisible items. They are totally visible both in my inventory and when I place them on the ground. I am completely able to grab the items and move them around. I can also swap them with other items, no problem. My problem is that they're phantom items. I can see, touch, and use the items, but they are 0% full.

He is saying we KNOW the problem you are having, and we also have a different symptom(empty slot) that is most likely being cause by the same problem in the code. At least from my playtime over the last 200+ hours, I feel the problems are intertwined.

ATM i think this is a glitch, but it may end up being in the game. Not only when they add stuff like empty tin cans to the loot tables, but in the mod they also had a use. You could use the old cans to boil water and avoid an infection.....rly hope we get that functionality added soon :)

And i've told you how to not generate a 0% visible Item as well as a 0% invisible one

I don't mind finding empty cans @ 0%, this is a sign that someone has been there and eaten beforehand, which I believe is intended but finding 0% oranges leave me somewhat perplexed.

As with a lot of the in-game elements we must accept that it is WIP.

 

The white elements in the hot bar after consuming or using is a different error (something about texture remaps or I don't know what, blah bla blah) :wacko:

I do hope they bring back the empty can functionality from the mod. Especially since you can catch rain to use for drinking.

This would be great if when you set it to catch rain that you could set it on the ground upright and it catch rain as well as do this with the water bottles. I find it annoying that when I put the item on the ground I cant stand it up to do the work for me without sitting in the rain getting wet. Or if you can, I havent found out how just yet.

Maybe it should change into orange peals?

I think this would be super awesome if the same would happen with bananas and then we could make traps on stairs.

Walking up stairs...slip on a banana... "You are dead."
