items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
Just as the title says. Regardless if you are LS or whatever any outline behind the idol can't be picked up. At first I thought it was just because I hold LS but none of my alts could pick up the chicken either. =P

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
I cannot reproduce the problem. Are you sure you aren't just doing it wrong somehow, like standing in front of that which you wish to pick up?

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
You're right. Upon further investigation, I discovered there is more to the problem; An apple tree overlaps the idol. Where an obejct is just behind the idol it can be picked up but behind the double overlay of the tree and the idol, I can see the outline but not interact with (pick up) the object.
EDIT- Upon even FURTHER investigation it appear that this occurs with ANY double overlay.
EDIT- I tested it on an oven, a mansion and another tree with a cupboard. It didn't occur behind the oven but I could only negotiate it to behind the stack and might not have gotten it behind the oven's clickbox. It did occur behind the mulbarry tree and mansion with the cupboards i used to test.

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
I encountered this problem in the forest with a deer that died behind two very close trees. I had to leave it there untouched.

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
I see. That is, indeed, a problem. I've considered doing it so that multiple overlapping outlines could be cycled through with the mouse-wheel or something. It just isn't entirely trivial to implement.

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
I remembered another thing. You cannot pick stuff on the ground if a cupboard overlaps their sprite. Since cupboards are a hassle to move things can get a little anoying.

Yeah you can, I did it while testing on the oven.Avu wrote:I remembered another thing. You cannot pick stuff on the ground if a cupboard overlaps their sprite. Since cupboards are a hassle to move things can get a little anoying.

Re: items outlined behind idol cannot be picked up.
Then it's probably the same bug seeing how stuff dropped at the base of an east side placed row of cupboards will probably overlap more than one. But really every time I try it opens the cupboard instead of getting the item...
