Cantr II Discussion Forum

Simple suggestion, calling to change the "Eat" button for healing foods and other such items to a button graphic resembling the medical cross.

Intent: Making the inventory menu much less confusing for newer players.

Reasoning: You never "Eat" anything with the button to satisfy hunger, only to improve health or tiredness, both of which are better designated by the medical cross.

I distinctly remember being very confused by this for a time. The "Eat" button, I think is a carry-over from the old days when there was no auto-eat of foods?

Extremely simple. Is it already implemented?

Simple and good - I remember my own begginings.

Yeah, in the past there was no hunger bar so you lost health when you went hungry, and could repair it naturally with healing foods. That made sense. Separating hunger and damage made it more like magic.

Maybe we could also change the words Cantr uses when we do it.
I mean, when you heal yourself it appears "you ate 1000 grams of popcorn to heal 20% strength". Nice, but that means I'm eating it and it declares that Cantrians heal external wounds inside of them.
If we change it to "you USE 1000 grams of popcorn to heal 20% strength". Then we can Rp the way we used it. Yes to freedom of Rp!

Imma rub popcorn on my gash to heal it up

You put 2537 grams of popcorn in your nose.

Good Idea, Volt. RP Rulessss!!!

I disagree with making it use or whatever, but would think a medical cross button for healing food, and simply nothing for normal food would be great.

It shouldn't be a medical cross. There are plans to make food and beverages consumable for rp purposes and we would need something very much like an eat button for that.

Maybe (if it ever changes to "use") A hand ?

Genius.


Idk I like it

Goal!

Perfect. We would need that button for flutes, pipes and dice anyway. Since you usually don't eat them, there shouldn't be any conflict.
