From dcbceff04676f89621babcc3a9f20fbc9fcff581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: san7890 Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2023 02:01:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Patches Excessive "The" Out Of Hand Offering (#73040) ## About The Pull Request Hey there, ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/34697715/215312944-df112bef-2a32-4206-9f46-a2b8c15145a3.png) "her the hand" is rather silly, so let's trim it down a bit to be nice and generic. This alert is custom-made for the hand item, and doesn't really show up in any other context... so it should be fine? The icon will always be that hand icon so we should be fine. I wish we could have used the text macros like `\the` or something, but that doesn't play too well with alerts for some reason? I don't have the time to look into this so let's just do the simple fix of reducing the words that show up (looks better without the larger footprint imo). ## Why It's Good For The Game Less confusing language, better grammar and formatting. ## Changelog :cl: spellcheck: Whenever you offer your hand to someone in need, or just wanting to pull them around- the alert that shows up to them should be a bit more clear now with a 100% decrease in non-necessary pronouns and articles. /:cl: --------- Co-authored-by: Mothblocks <35135081+Mothblocks@users.noreply.github.com> --- code/_onclick/hud/alert.dm | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/code/_onclick/hud/alert.dm b/code/_onclick/hud/alert.dm index c55ded3c681..2b41790103e 100644 --- a/code/_onclick/hud/alert.dm +++ b/code/_onclick/hud/alert.dm @@ -429,7 +429,7 @@ or shoot a gun to move around via Newton's 3rd Law of Motion." /atom/movable/screen/alert/give/hand/get_receiving_name(mob/living/carbon/taker, mob/living/carbon/offerer, obj/item/receiving) additional_desc_text = "Click this alert to take it and let [offerer.p_them()] pull you around!" - return "[offerer.p_their()] [receiving]" + return "[offerer.p_their()] [receiving.name]" /atom/movable/screen/alert/give/hand/helping/get_receiving_name(mob/living/carbon/taker, mob/living/carbon/offerer, obj/item/receiving)
