Pushing

Post by Sylwira »

Just a little thing. Could you add a "push" action? Sometimes you just want to move something just a little without lifting it, for example when it blocks your way or you want to fit it in a corner.
It shouldn't be hard to do, because you can use mechanics for plowing. Of course it should use stamina.

Push onto the midle of a tile

Or there should be an option to put something perfectly on the tile

Should be able to push hearthlings too while we are at it to prevent stupid alt blocks.

Pushing a hearthling? Would it initiate combat and leave an assault scent? Maybe a new combat move with knockback?

Does it mean people could be pushed into the water and drowned? (not necessarily a bad mechanic just something to consider) Perhaps it should only work on dead or KO'd people?

What are some ways that pushing a hearthling could lead to unintended consequences? (walljumps, etc)

New attack, Pushover.

You need the Tricks & Ruses skill to unlock it and it will require two hearthlings, one behind the target and another in front of it to initiate the attack. When successful, the target is stunned for 2 seconds while they get to their feet and are left embarrassed, giving a penalty to defense.
