Summary	0001693: Change lockpicking interface from "hold down use button" to "press attack button"
Description	Currently, to indicate the end of the lockpicking pattern, you release the use button. The original lockpicking design calls for pressing the attack button instead. See design doc: http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showtopic=2610#entry88965 And discussion thread: http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?showtopic=5864 Presumably this means that the use button only starts the pattern going, so the player will not be holding any buttons while they listen to the pattern. If the player character moves out of frob range (i.e. the lock/door stops frob-highlighting) then lockpicking should still be cancelled.
Tags	No tags attached.

crispy 15.03.2009 05:29 reporter ~0002371	Wasn't sure whether to assign this to the TDM 1.0 roadmap since it does seem like a low-priority issue.

Springheel 18.03.2009 02:26 administrator ~0002377	Does that mean you have to hold the 'use' key while picking, but have two options for success (release or hit 'attack')? Or does hitting the 'use' button start the picking, but you can choose to hold onto it and use the release method?

greebo 18.03.2009 07:20 administrator ~0002379	The former. You have both options now: release frob or push attack. But in any case you'll need to hold down frob to keep the process going.
