Unable to loot

[Tharivor]

(Sorry for my english, I'm french ^^)
Version:
0.26.3

Description:
From time to time it's impossible to loot someone dead. After looting some corpses i'm unable to loot the rest. The character is getting down as if he was looting but not close to the corpse and no inventory windows open...

Steps to Reproduce:
Not realy sure. Something done during looting must trigger it... [Will update later as i found out...]

Workaround:
Quick save -> Quick load but the corpse are lost...

Saw the issue myself
It also gave the options of firstaid/picking up
nothing happened with either choice

It happened also to me, where an entire pack of bandits were not lootable, I think it happens if you don't loot them as soon as they are dead (It's Only an idea).

I will fix it either as soon as it happens to me in-game. Until then we must wait.

(Just installed this today - with the code)

I can confirm that the same loot problem is occurring on my system.

One thing I can add is that it does not matter the time of death.

I can loot some long dead foes that I find in the world. Other times I cannot loot a corpse that I had watched fall. In either case (loot work or not work) I was not the one who performed the "kill."

For me I have this trouble near town. I have not had this trouble further out. *This needs to be confirmed I have not spent time checking it yet.*

I don't think it's just looting. I've found that any time I interact with an NPC, it works the first time, but won't let me interact with it/any other of the same type again. So in the case of looting, you loot one corpse, then you can't loot any others like it. Or you might talk to one shopkeeper, but won't be able to again.

EDIT: Been testing this out a bit, and it seems to be slightly less buggy when only one character is selected when you try to loot. It's still a similar bug either way you do it, but there's less chance I found that it'll bug out if you use only one character.

I have been trying to test this a bit tonight. My initial results tend to agree with Hayseus' initial findings. It is better to have only 1 character selected when you attempt to loot.

In my limited testing so far it has worked much better. I will try it both ways a bit more tomorrow and try to increase the size of the pool of attempts. I have too few tries to make any definite conclusions so far.

I've been having this problem very frequently(every other attempt to loot roughly) I've re-downloaded w/ clean install. quick saving and loading fixes it until it happens again. It is however how others have said happens more frequent with multiple people, not able to do other things like healing ect. Long dead foes don't seem to make a difference for me.

-i'm using 0.27.1

I can create a video if you need to see it yourself.

Off note-
Don't have very much experience with the game but what little I have played in the last 24h's was pretty awesome and I'm excited to see this after its finished and polished keep up the good work.

i have been having the same issue... i tought that looting was time sensitite.... now i see its a bug LOL

[TornadoTitan]

I too have seen this, I recommend if you want to recreate this bug you attempt to find a - slain by someone else- sand ninja. The dead sand ninjas are what cause this for me the most. After toying with the bug after a while a few things i took not of:

1. When attempting to loot (from any distance) your character will do the loot animation where ever he stands.
2. Mostly happens with "Sand Ninjas" and the "Jounin" variation.
3. If you left click, the stats and medical window are empty, no information is given in either window, so basically it turn the body into a nothing entity.

hopefully these few small observations can serve as a clue to the actual problem. I may try to get a video up showcasing this particular bug.
