To the retards that have read this and thought "Hey cool an exploit I'll use that!".

At this point on I'm just going to ban you and not hand out any more warnings. How dense do you have to be to read an exploit and rush to use it.

[TheFriggenSawbones]

it doesn't seem to work with any other holodeck item, and the holosword's icon goes invisible after you take it out

The sword gets qdel'd, but it remains in your hand slot anyways
It stops working shortly afterwards when the garbage collector throws it out

What's the path to a holo sword? The Destroy() of /obj/item causes mobs to drop an item automatically when the item is qdel'd.

[PJB3005]

@Shadowmech88 the plant pot code keeps a reference, then when the item gets taken out of the pot the pot completely ignores that the item should've been deleted.

[Shadowmech88]

Why wouldn't it work with other holodeck items, if the problem is that the pot's references aren't nulled?

[PJB3005]

I don't know about that.

[FudgePucker]

What happens when you put the nuke disk in a potted plant and destroy the pot.

[ihadtoregisterforthis]

Currently it resets properly.

Oh that's good
