Autopickup while running

[ewert]

Is there anyway to enable autopickup setting to work also when you are running? I find it somewhat annoying and cumbersome to be constantly having to move back to an item that you run over while keeping shift down, just to pick it up. Waste of real time, my optimization OCD doesn't like it.

OK, so is this a recurrence of this bug (ie you hit run one time and then end up running over and past the item), or something else?

This happens all the time in Android. The port has a fake running mode, every direction is transformed to run+direction.

If there are monsters in LOS, autopickup is cancelled. I think that sometimes if you step back it works. It's normal behavior ?

Playing on PC but yeah, but happens without monsters too I am pretty sure. Shift-direction running through a corridor, gold/item matching inventory on floor, character stops on tile (or probably next to it, uhh, honestly I play so fast real time that haven't payed attention) but doesn't pick it up when moving over it.

Has to do with running/autopickup code I guess. Super annoying to run a whole corridor back just to go pick it up ... walking not running the final step ...

So what should happen is that any run is interrupted if the player is next to an item. Reading the current code, it looks like the run should be interrupted if the player is about to step on an item (which is the same thing in corridors). How does what you're seeing compare to this?

The interrupt happens, but the annoyance is if you only move with run with fast-in-real-time, the next click won't pick it up even though it just steps on top of it. It is just a quality of life issue, but it is quite annoying as it happens repeatedly. As far as I can tell, autopickup while moving does not consume energy does it? So not sure why the behaviour should be different.

Just to return to this issue, I think I figured it out.

So if you start running, step on an item that is on your autopickup (=g, gold, matching, etc.), you are interrupted after move before autopickup.

I think if the autopickup would be zero energy cost, then the autopickup should trigger before the interrupt.
