Dead Spider= Jaws of Life??

[Avalon-Proto]

Description

The corpses of giant spiders can be used like jaws of life to open any powered door

Reproduction 1- Kill a spider 2- Drag to door 3- Click+Drag spider onto door 4-???? 5- Spider corpse begins to pry open the door 6- You have now broke into someplace you shouldn't be with a spider

Additional context Common trick used by self antagging crew etc, doesn't make sense how you can use a spider as a set of jaws

[Lyndomen]

maybe an upsteam issue?

It's a upstream issue from long ago. I think it has been buried to prevent public knowledge of it, but the thing is you can use the virtual item, you can also use a cleanbot to mop for budget advanced mop. Also it's not only a Jaws of Life, its a JoL that can open bolted doors.

You can also use living spiders that you have picked up with two hands just as if it’s a normal tool.

i believe this is from its funny PryingComponent

Made a little bit of documentation (made in a text file after a round) before I knew there was already a thread on this. I'm certain this issue is with the entire lifting system and how it treats lifted entities (or your occupied hands)

Tarantula Bug Documentation:: [lift refers to "picking up" a person, in my case alt+e/alt+click] [any living creature is assumed to have the same interaction while dead unless stated otherwise]

lift a tarantula (dead or alive) to:

• (replicated, unusually easy to do) use (E or click on door) as bad jaws of life (opens all doors) (apparently works on bolted doors, completely busted)
• (replicated) be grabbed and walk out, or something to lose all speed penalty on it (and provide speed for slip bug)
• (replicated) be slipped (unknown if lube works, bless mrp for working janitors) to have the lifted entity stuck to your body, where it cannot be dropped or dragged (can be sprite-dragged off onto chair, naturally)
• (not replicated) hold an item in one hand (in this case, a gray blahaj) despite having lifted entity, may be related to "main" lifting hand vs offhand

The issues:

• This PROBABLY allows using anything you "lift" as a tool if it has any interaction with anything ever, so a lifted zombie should act like a weak jaws of life to due to their door-prying mechanic
• It is unknown if they can be used as a weapon, but if they can, uh, yowch, dead carp are suddenly """useful"""
• I'm not Livrah, I'm not going to abuse a bug/exploit like this in order to gather attention to it, or powergame in general. But someone else probably will.
• Its dishonorable and an abuse of a young system, these bugs are likely consistent across much of the lifting system everywhere. I'll point it out as I have here and carry on, good luck.
