[Feature Request] Add a --here option to the **item** command

Open qeveren opened this issue 4 months ago • 4 comments

I think it might be useful to be able to use the item functionality on the items located in a single tile selected via the keyboard cursor, since I don't think there's any other easy way to manipulate the properties of a specific collection of objects like that.

You could achieve the same effect by painting a burrow to cover only that single tile and then invoking -i <burrow name> as part of its argument. Similarly, you could use -o <burrow name> to only affect items outside the specified burrow.

Oh, well I should probably read through all the command options, shouldn't I. 😆 I'll close this as unnecessary.

While there is a workaround for this, I actually think there is merit to the proposal as requiring players to create an ad hoc burrow for this makes for an awkward workflow, and so I'm going to leave this open

Also, rather than use the keyboard cursor, I think it'd be easier to just get the tile position from one of the items. So, run the command while having one of the items in the stack selected to batch process everything on the same tile.
