Having an item dragged out of inventory and right clicking an object that can be examined.

This is becoming stranger and stranger. Before trying your suggestions, I tried removing EVERY definition script to understand if there was a conflict going on and... nothing, the behaviour of the right click is still the same.

I have the same behavior in my game. Broken sword interface, standard drag&drop, vis 5.04. Rightclicking on an object while dragging an item results in triggering the right-click-action (and canceling the item).

tested it:

I think I should report this, because the problem is still there in V5!

This is why I swapped over to a pure command based system. I have a single command for left click & a command for every single item the character can pick up with a unique cursor for each. This gave me much more flexibility than the built in drag & drop system or command + item system as you can easily query in the right click action for a scene object or character, if command is x do something, else set command back to default end. This prevented right click actions from being triggered if the command in my case wasn't "left_click" as that meant my character was holding an item.

Technically this method is no longer needed since Simon implemented the if Lua result query action part to VS5 as you can now use that to query if the character is holding an item by returning the UsedItem datastructure field.



If it returns true then the character is not holding an item. If it's true you would trigger the default right click actions, else you would drop the item instead & no actions would be executed.

P.S: these methods are only valid on execute at destination commands when the character is already standing at the interaction position & for immediate execution commands.

return game.UsedItem:isEmpty()

If it returns true then the character is not holding an item. If it's true you would trigger the default right click actions, else you would drop the item instead & no actions would be executed.

I'm not sure how to drop the item. I tried set cursor and set command. Both actions drop the item allright. It looks like this:

changing the control scheme doesnt change the (presumed) issue with right click triggering both: item clearance and execution of command at the same time. I assume that we should get rid of "RIGHT CLICK" as an execution method on objects/items and use a command here. Not sure if setting a different command for right click is possible without problems.

I tried doing that. I created a command in my interface associated with right click. In this way I could use a normal "right click" and a "right click + item" on scene objects. In theory the problem should be solved, but it's not working. I think it is how Sebastian said, first I should get rid of the standard right click. I don't know if it's possible, though.
