When playing as a Monkey/Diona/etc, clicking on a storage device(box/backpack) will always make you pick it up with your active hand, instead of opening it
Created by: DeityLink
I really don't think this was intentional. storage.dm has code really indicating that backpacks on monkeys were meant to be removed the same way as humans' (by drag and dropping) and they can in fact be removed that way, which will trigger the "rustle" sound effect. However, just clicking on the backpack (which should open its content) will instantly move it to the monkey's hand, without any sound effect, just as if it had been picked up from the ground again.
I tried finding the problem in the code, removing the content of "obj/item/weapon/storage/attack_hand" prevents humans from picking up a storage item, but monkeys can still pick them up, as if monkeys had a "pick up" proc that overrides everything else. Or maybe I'm just saying nonsense, it's 4 AM in the morning and I've lost control of my life.
But seriously, this bug has been in the game for far too long. Why would monkeys be able to place items in containers if they couldn't get it out?
