| Summary | 0007150: Companions don't wear/wield some equipment you give them | ||||
| Description | I give my companion a set of iron equipment, he equips breastplate, leggings, high boots, and helm, takes off wool sandals and leather cap, but for some reason he doesn't replace his leather mittens with iron mittens... He just drops them on the ground... I had to trade his leather mittens for a gem and give iron mittens again to make him equip them... Also, I gave him a backpack, and he put it inside his pouch, LOL... I'm not sure if he is able to use it at all... Companion equipment management is a little bit better now in 0.40, but it's still not as good as the DFHack's adv-bodyswap, and it seems to have some bugs... | ||||
| Additional Information | I'd like an additional dialogue options for companion equipment management: ├Talk to... └┬Give advice on the equipment... ░└┬─a.Wear the best armor ░░├┬b.Wield Weapon+Shield... ░░│└┬{Select Weapon} from a list ░░│░└┬{Select Shield} from a list ░░├┬c.Wield Two-Handed weapon... ░░│└{Select Two-handed weapon} from a list ░░├┬d.Wield multiple weapons... ░░│└{Select first hand weapon}, then {Select second hand weapon}, until you run out of "hands" ░░├... A list may be populated from both yours and your companion's inventory, and items from your inventory may be given to them automatically... | ||||

I've had companions drop their weapons or shields due to injured hands. I can pick the items up and give them back to them, but they just put them in their coin pouches and never wield them. Also, fast traveling after giving them the items causes said items to just straight-up disappear. |
|
|
Still happens, trying to get my companion to wield the masterwork iron mace I found, but won't. |
|
|
An addition to this, when I give them a crutch, they drop both shield and weapon and refuse to wield them in the available hand. When I try to give them a shield and weapon while the companion is holding a crutch, they just drop the shield and weapon. The companion in my case DOES have both hands functional, so it's not a case of one hand not being functional. Edit: I traded the crutch for the shield and mace, he equipped the mace, but dropped the shield? DFhacks gui/companion-order is of help when removing the equipment, but even force-equipping stuff doesn't help. When I try to give him a crutch while having a weapon and shield held in each hand, the transfer never happens, though he says thanks and the trade concludes. I've seen companions wield a shield and weapon in one hand, so why can't they with a crutch? Edit: Silly me attempting to use full-heal on said companion to see how the interaction with the crutch happens when he drops the crutch, which is obviously normal behavior. |
