Flatscreen Television can't be used when wall-mounted #29555

Open RadioAndrea opened 2 months ago

RadioAndrea commented 2 months ago

Description

Flatscreen televisions added in #8842 cannot be interacted with when they are wall mounted and not free standing.

Reproduction Go to a flatscreen television in a bar/hallway near you, attempt to set the channel so you can watch kangaroo boxing.

Additional context Flatscreens are almost always mapped in walls, I have never seen a free-standing one in game. It makes sense we should be able to set the channel on them somehow.

Anyone want to code a television remote control?

Hmmm. I agree it should be more forgiving. Last time I checked though you just had to be really close to the wall.

It's the same as the issue herre #26612 which has a solution

hmmm. I wonder if this happens to wallmount rechargers too... That's a sneaky bug I would not have replicated it.

I was unable to make it work no matter how close I was to the wall. Does it change based on distance from center or from edge?

I actually encountered this bug originally trying to interact with a flat-screen from the south side, which also didn't work :(
