Cut or slice command

Started by slvrmoontiger, October 22, 2013, 11:24:27 AM

I'd like it if there was a cut or slice command. This way you could share breads you cook.

Such as this:

The beady-eyed, apron covered man says to a couple of diners in sirihish
"Try my honey made bread its delicious"

>slice honey made bread

You begin slicing your honey made bread into several pieces

<delay>

You successfully slice your honey made bread into several pieces

>give bread Amos (setting it on the plate in front of !amos)

etc.

I think there are food items (bread etc) that can be crafted into slices after you make them?  Not all, but some?  I could be wrong but I'm sure I've sliced bread before. *shrugs*

If not you can always RP slicing it and then share the partially eaten food with someone:

taste bread (cutting a thin slice from the end of the loaf)

give bread amos (cutting a couple more slices from the loaf)


Not perfect but it still works?

Amos would then have to taste it and give it to the next person and on and on... And echoes make for really bad looks with that.

What?

Sorry one should not play and respond to something at the same time. Echos make that look really bad.

I'm not sure I'm following the whole "echoes make it look really bad" thing...?  You mean to the person you're giving something to, or to the room in general?

Instead of a new command, you might be able to submit a new crafting recipe through the request tool for each different bread item you want to have be sliceable. 

No new coding command required and by submitting the various crafting recipes you would actively be helping achieve your desire.

My current PC is not a Master at Cooking and I don't think it should take that in order to slice bread. My son at ten was able to do this. Also, adding in requests for new crafting seems to be problematic as I'm sure there are breads or other items out there that might be able to be sliced that I do not know and neither does my PC. Seems more efficient and effective if there could just be a blanketed command or some sort of skill that everyone that can cook can receive. Though like I said slicing bread or cutting up other things should be a basic task that anyone that has cooked could be able to do.

And my dad at almost 60 still can't slice a pie, though he tries every week.  I swear he's trying for the crit fail pie-slicing echo.

You try to slice a pie.
THE PIE GOES FLYING ONTO CATS AND SMALL CHILDREN ITS RUINED OH GOD

I'm not sure about his bread slicing abilities, though, but if you were going to make this available for breads (to cut something into bite-sized chunks) it should apply equally to everything.

This seems like it may be the least needed change/addition since the recommendation of the necksnap command.

That being said, I don't see how it would hurt anything, so I will give it a thumbs up, right after the staff finishes doing everything that actually would matter and make a difference and has some free time on their hands.

Why can't craft be used again? Isn't that how we slice FRUIT?

Have you ever noticed that the message you get for interrupting crafting is the same as you get for interrupting something else, iirc? We don't seem to have a stand-alone crafting code. I'm guessing we're appropriating some other system, and that makes every single craft much more of a bear to implement. Being able to slice everything might be a real bitch for some unlucky staffer.

Most loaves of bread *can* be sliced into actual slices. If you find a loaf of bread that can't be sliced, maybe use the IDEA command and suggest that they make it sliceable.

If you lack the skill to be able to accomplish this, think of it as: You lack the finesse to successfully make same-sized portion-controlled segments of this particular item. Sure, you can peel apart the different segments of a kalan fruit, but slicing bread requires a *sharp* knife (preferrably serrated), a steady hand, and a flat surface. If you lack any of these things, you shouldn't be capable of slicing it. You should wreck it every single time.

Thankfully, the game isn't based on realism and for playability's sake, they allow you to slice bread without a knife, without too much skill, and even while standing up or resting on a mattress with no surface at all, let alone a flat one.

Not all fruit is able to be sliced either. Umm so slice command would make all fruit able to be sliced.

You make a serrated shortsword

I've only briefly skimmed this thread but in my head I've conjured an image of a dorf serial killer who creeps up behind his victims and whispers in their ear "Try my honey made bread its delicious" before utilizing the proposed cut or slice command.
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

Then remove the craft for slicing here and there and put in the slice command so staff doesn't have to go through and code everything individually to be craftable to slice.

Okay this was funny. But definitely could see it happening.

Redundant. It's like adding shin kick after already having a kick command... or needlepoint to tailoring... make the items slice-able? Sure, I can see that, making another command for something that is already accomplished with another? Waste of time.

So which would be easier to code? Going through and setting up everything you cook to be able to be sliced via another crafting of the item or removing those already in game and setting up a slice command that would allow to slice everything?

Kinda like the "salvage" and "break" commands?

"Shave" and "make" could probably stand to be lumped into the "craft" category too.

And "pick" could just be changed to a regular ol'e "get" for leaves and plants. It's funny the first fifty times when I set to work on a lock on the redleaf plant-- but not after. :<
