One of my characters' primary weapons is a nunchaku. Nunchaku are a bit different than normal weapons as they shouldn't be sheathed and I don't believe they belong in a sling. Unfortunately, by default, nunchaku can only be wielded (held).

I propose allowing Nunchaku to be worn around the neck and worn on the belt while at rest.

Sure, this does present a problem because you can't just 'draw' them, but it seems far more realistic IC.

Alternatively, maybe I'm missing something and there's a different type of.. "Sheath" for nunchaku. Perhaps a 'holster' would be nice? That would also be useful for tonfas.

Thoughts?

This has nothing to do with the weapon type itself, it has to do with the builder of the area the nunchaku is found in. Let me give an example of an object's code...

ITEM_TYPE_WEAPON
0
CAN_WEAR_TAKE|CAN_WEAR_HOLD
QUALITY_AVERAGE MATERIAL_STEEL COND_PERFECT SIZE_MEDIUM
0 WFLAG_NONE WFLAG_NONE WEAPON_TYPE_NUNCHAKU 0 0

The portion in bold is what gives an item its wear locations. A builder can add CAN_WEAR_BELT to their nunchaku if they so desire, which would allow the object to be worn on the belt. There is no 'default' as to where nunchaku can or can't be held, though almost all weapons people will code with the two seen above, can_wear_take and can_wear_hold, because they're the ones that make the most sense for all weapons. To change this would require the admins to go through the game and update every nunchaku to have new wear locations so I doubt that it's going to be done as there's much more important stuff to work on, sorry

So different colors and belt slots of 'holsters' is a better idea?
