Game Mechanics I Want to Sit in Chairs Too D:

[LoveSpreader]

Quotes from someone in the know about players sitting in the chair.

Actually, there is a base that they go off, but it needs to be redone for every armor to animate it. So yes, you could create a base for a sitting animation but you would need to redraw every armor and vanity item over it to get them to animate correctly. Still a lot of time.

Just look at the game's sources to see each animation sheet for armors. They would have to do a separate sitting animation for every one. When it's for the NPCs, there's far fewer to draw.

I'd say yes, you'd need over 900(might be off by 500~ or so ) resprites for this little thing.

To be sure, yes, it would be cool. But I still think it's too much effort for such a little gimmick.

Maybe the player could take off any armor they're wearing when they sit down? I can't imagine sitting comfortably while wearing bulky meteor armor.

That's actually a decent idea, come to think of it. Thanks.

That's what I said...

I think it would be completely infeasible to go through adding a new frame to the ~900 equipment frame sets Terraria has just so that players could sit down. If it took the players armor and accessories off while sitting down, then I could see this being a thing.

I basically summarized this page of discussion in a single post on the previous one.

Anyways, don't forget Accessories. Otherwise your feet would be in a completely different place than your Spectre Boots.

Yes, NPCs can't have benefits.

 

[neoselket]

it would be great, but i think re-logic said it wasn't possible to implement.

What if you just appeared without amour when you sit? only your original character? it would decrese coding by 40%

 

[Smelly]

What if they used the sprites and set a algorithm

If sitting in a chair, I think the player should get some kind of Rest buff, which increases health regen. Nothing significant - perhaps equal to a Campfire - but a bonus nonetheless. Warp back to home following a close call with a Spider Nest and sit down to rest and recover.

They actually are adding sitting in chairs! They just confirmed it yesterday.

funny story, that's actually how this thread got necroed. i posted the link somewhere else as a joking "i thought of this first" moment, and then someone liked it, so it got put on the recent activity feed. thats what im guessing, anyway.

...Wow, all it took was sliding the player's feet up and forward, huh?
And here people were, thinking we'd need new sprites!
