Simple solution to annoying problem

RedSword · May 2013

Hi,

I just played and I had a welder. I died. I ran to get that welder with a shotgun I picked up/bought. I arrived at my welder. Saw the "press 'G' to pickup". Then I dropped my shotgun. I went FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu and died.

A simple solution would be to remove the "press 'G' to pickup" tooltip like 1 second before the item disappears.

Simple (but I don't know if it would be easy in code)

Or to have E be pick up things and G to drop them.

I only see awful suggestions here... this saddens me :'|

At least they are making suggestions... what's on your plate??? oh, nothing.

I wouldn't mind a separate drop and pickup key myself

If they made E the primary pickup weapon key...what would happen if a shotgun drops next to you from a slain friendly player and you are trying to get the last 1% of the phasegate built before you get killed.

you'd have to drop your primary wep first then you could pick up the shot gun... this way you only pick up the torch when pressing pick up key as it's a free inventory slot.

That could work. But what about stuff like mines and welders?

I can't really see building interfering much with picking up weapons. Just be sure the pickup "looking" hitbox is tiny compared to all the building ones.
