[39e] Two crossbows in right hand
« on: August 11, 2008, 11:18:23 am »

A marksdwarf trainee has picked up two different crossbows and holds them in the same hand. The marksdwarves have been told to carry two weapons.




I have a save if needed.

That would be pretty stylish if he was holding one in each hand.

Reloading would be hell, though.

The same thing happens with melee weapons. I had a dwarf carrying 2 battle axes in his right hand, though doing this does seem to prevent them from holding a shield in their other hand.

I think that is:
Req290, WIELD ISSUES, (Future): It can be confused about which object is wielded, and there are some issues about the primary hand.

They only actually use a single weapon even though they're carrying two. The backup weapon is carried in the right hand, but its not used for combat unless the primary weapon is lost somehow, such as getting stuck in an enemy.

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.
