[kovarex] [0.18.37] Cannot clear cursor when keeping a ghost item in hand

Post by billbo99 »

Pressing 'Q' to get a ghost item in hand of an item you do not have in your inventory.
Pressing 'Q' a second time will not clear the hand, the ghost item will still stay in hand.

The only way I found to clear the hand was to press 'Q' on a building I had in my inventory. Or pressing a number mapped to an empty button on my toolbar.

Having the same problem. Found it when I ran out of a certain building.

A workaround I used was to open the inventory and selecting a random item, then deselecting ('Q' will work again)

Here's a save with the bug "activated", pressing 'Q' will not clear the hand.

Same issue here, clearing the curser when holding a "ghost" item does not work anymore.
Edit: fixed before i even finished my post...

Still broken, but differently now: put a ghost in the first slot. Press 1. Good. Press 1 again, or Q: items disappears from cursor, but stays active in toolbar.

Press 1 again… nothing happens, since the *toolbar* (whichever part of the game that is, code-wise) still thinks it's the active item. Need to use the workaround to *really* clean the cursor.

Or press the shortcut for a toolbar slot that has an item you do have in your inventory. And, of course, then press Q or the item's toolbar shortcut key again.
