| Summary | 0000683: Dwarves carry items as "multigrasp" | ||||
| Description | Not sure exactly what triggers it, but I often find dwarves carrying weapons via "multigrasp" rather than in a specific hand. For example, I have a miner who has the usual body clothing, plus a "(copper pick), Multigrasp". He has no other items in/on his hands or hauled. | ||||

Requesting confirmation that this is not a bug. Maybe the dwarf just likes holding it with both hands? If someone were to experiment, with a dwarf carrying a weapon and shield. Upon which the dwarf is prevented from carrying a shield due to a one handed item being multigrasped. Then I would consider this a bug. |
|
|
I've seen dwarves holding two battleaxes in one hand, a shield in the other hand, and a third battleaxe "multigrasp". If "multigrasp" means "with both hands" then it's at a minimum badly named, and given the other behaviour I've seen, fairly buggy anyway. |
|

Multigrasp does mean "with both hands," yeah. It's an awkward term, but "both [body parts]" wouldn't work for modded creatures with different types of grasps... I guess that's suggestion territory. Anyway, the fact that they're multigrasping weapons is not itself a bug. Weapons have the parameters MINIMUM_SIZE and TWO_HANDED, and creatures whose size falls between those parameters will multigrasp the weapon. Holding multiple weapons is definitely buggy, but that's already reported in 0000648 |
|
|
Well, if it's based on those parameters, shouldn't all dwarves either use one hand or multigrasp for a particular weapon? I have seen both. (Or is this just per-dwarf size variation?) |
|
|
Probably the individual size variation, yeah. |
