Should pickpocketing keys be easier?

Hmm, do all key entities have that? I would think a box that size would make it ridiculously easy to frob keys from some distance away, and I can't say I've noticed that.

I have. Pickpocketing purses always seemed much harder to me. A key just highlights as soon as you're somewhere near the guard.

No, not all of them... just the ones derived from atdm:prop_key_base which at a glance looks to be about 20% of keys.

 

atdm:item_key (a base def) has the huge (32 unit) CM defined.

 

atdm:keys_base derives from it but redefines the CM size to a more reasonable 8. And that's the parent def for most of our keys.

 

atdm:prop_key_base derives from atdm:item_key too, and it *doesn't* redefine the CM size, so the keys below it all have the huge CM:

• atdm:prop_goldkey
• atdm:prop_key_fancy01, 02
• atdm:prop_key_mysterious, mysterious2
• atdm:prop_key_padlock
• atdm:prop_key_simple_base, atdm:prop_key_simple_brass, copper, greenish, old, rusty, steel, tarnished

We could reduce the 32 unit box on all the above by adjusting atdm:item_key.

And that's the parent def for most of our keys.

 

 

That value should probably be the standard then.

Ok, I'll do the change with #4150 and add it to the 2.04 roadmap so we remember we did it when we get to beta testing.
