Summary

0006187: Click to swap to 2H weapon while wielding Shield and 1H weapon leaves player disarmed

Description

Related to closed 0004083, which had a patch by SamB, but it did not resolve the underlying issue; IMHO should remain open till resolved.

I am wielding a shield.
I am wielding a sword.
I click (Tiles) a 2-handed weapon in my inventory.

The sword gets un-wielded.
Then, I get the message "You can't wield that with a shield. You are now empty-handed(tentacled, whatever)."

It is my opinion that this is an interface screw.

The check whether the target weapon was wield-able by me should have come BEFORE the action to un-wield the sword, otherwise (logically), the sword would have never been un-wielded to begin with, leaving me unarmed.

Notes
(0020016) Seven Deadly Sins (reporter) 2012-09-08 10:02	Optimally, this should be an option. Something like easy_twohand to automatically unequip a shield upon wielding a twohanded weapon.

(0020017) KiloByte (manager) 2012-09-08 10:41	Current behaviour feels so wrong I disagree with labelling it a trivial-severity bug.

(0020020) XuaXua (reporter) 2012-09-08 15:22	I labeled it trivial because there were so many prior closed/resolved bugs associated with the first reference.

(0020022) BlackSheep (reporter) 2012-09-08 16:57	This happens when you press 'w' to wield, too. Try wielding an item that you're wearing, for instance. It tells you 'You are wearing that object! You are now empty-handed.'

(0020685) galehar (administrator) 2012-12-27 21:44	Fixed in 0.12-a0-1433-ga84578c (there's probably duplicate issues, but I can't find them)

(0022119) XuaXua (reporter) 2013-04-03 06:26	I trust this is fixed.
