No Equipped Weapons in Halruaa?, In my left yes Options

[Golden Thief]

Vlad,
I have dual weld character and forgot to remove my left hand weapon and they haven't caught me yet so I put a weapon in everyone's left hand. We are talking to everyone.

[Vlad]

Congratulations! You discovered another BioWare's bug. Check for weapon equipped doesn't work for the second hand!?

[horred the pl...]

HasItemSlot(LastSeenBy(Myself),SLOT_SHIELD)

[Vlad]

Well, it's okay, but Leina wears a lyre in her second hand. It's definitely not a weapon.

[horred the pl...]

!Name(LastSeenBy(Myself),"Leina")---that is her scripting name (DV)?

or

!HasItemEquiped(LastSeenBy(Myself),"[the lyre]")


If you don't mind the loophole, then all is well. Just trying to provide you some functional workarounds, if they are desired.

[Vlad]

Thanks Bill, sure it's possible to find some workarounds, if they are really desired.
But please agree that it's a bug because a function which check weapons equipped should equally works for both hands.

Fully agreed.

And added to the list of dozens of similar limitations/inconsistencies. Sometimes I'm amazed that this game actually worked at all!

It's simply not in my nature to easily accept limitations and boundaries. I always try to believe "there has to be another way..."
