Cataclysm-dda: Power Armor not working with simple UPS

Created on 15 Jul 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

Power Armor successfully engages with simple UPS in inventory, but on next turn disengages. Happens only with simple UPS. Advanced UPS works just fine.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Make a player with a simple UPS and some Power Armor.
  2. Activate Power Armor.
  3. Power Armor deactivates itself on next turn.

Expected behavior:
Power Armor should work fine with simple UPS, because that stated in the simple UPS item description and in message log hint, when trying to activate Armor without power source.

The fact that it activates but doesn't stay on suggests that this got missed with my previous iuse fixes (that is, the iuse fixes allows the armor to turn on but the armor doesn't understand the UPS). I'll see if I can take a look but considering today is the first day I wore pants besides sweatpants since my injury, I can't say when I can actually look.

Yep, I see this too in my game.
The advanced UPS (which requires plutonium cells) doesn't disengage, but still won't reduce encumbrance when activated - same as described in #32459.

Happens with invisibility cloak as well
