Can't interact with Siege Weapon

Post by Twohand »

Description
----------------
Bombards (haven't tested this with the other siege weapons) are unable to be rotated or picked up after being placed down. They don't seem to be recognized as fixtures.

Steps to reproduce
----------------
Place a Bombard on the floor and rotate/pick them up with the commands -rotate_fixture and -pickup_fixture.

Expected result
----------------
The bombard is picked up or its position is rotated.

Actual result
----------------
Nothing happens and this message is shown on the chat window:

"No matching fixture found nearby. You may need to get closer."

Notes
----------------
I'm not sure if it matters but while Bombards and other siege weapons only work on ships, in this case the Bombard has been set down on the floor of a non-ship area. I also don't seem to be able to interact with the Bombard when clicking on it, my character is unable to reach it.

They are a bit different from your ordinary fixtures. To pick them up you have to select the Pickup option when in dialog with them. I think Bat updated them so they can be properly useable but that may not be live just yet.

EDIT: Fix in the pipeline

This should be fixed now and the fixture commands should be applicable.

EDIT: We're still looking at why the new Bombard placeable can't be used properly. Its a model issue.
