Vgstation13: lockboxes have a super easy bypass that makes them useless

[RealestEstate]

Description of issue

lockboxes have been fucking useless for the longest time, and I'm starting to think I'm the only person who knows about it. if you grab a lockbox and drag it onto a table, it dumps the contents out, no problemo, even if the lockbox is locked

Difference between expected and actual behavior

expected a locked lockbox not be so easily bypassed

Steps to reproduce

set up table
print a locked lockbox via RnD

Length of time in which bug has been known to occur

I've been using this for about a year and a half now at least, but it could have been around for longer, hell if I know

They have been sitting on this bug to bait foolish people like yourself. BAN HIM.

Is making use of a bug in and of itself bannable?

[yclatious]

Isn't this more of a exploit than a bug? You are exploiting a oversight to gain a advantage ingame, and it probably depends on the severity, I remember the guy who exploited gifts spawning from throwing snowballs at snowmen and he never got in trouble, most he did was get told he was a prick in ic godvoice.

[SonixApache]

wow that's hilarious

let's use this as a springboard to just remove forced lockboxes and make lockboxes a printable item

[Exxion]

Considering people still blow open lockboxes, yes, you probably ARE the only one (or at least one of a small number) who knows about this

Top kek

[Exxion]

While, strictly speaking, it is [Exploitable], lockboxes were already such a fucking joke to break open, it's barely an exploit

[RealestEstate]

don't bannu me pls, guis

[Megamaw]

no ban. we should never dissuade people from reporting bugs, ever.

also holy shit? that's nuts

[FudgePucker]

Maybe make guns from the protolathe have a GPS tracker in them that can be checked from a computer located in security and bridge. Unlocking with any ID prints the name of the ID to the gun, shooting open displays error so you can hunt down law breakers, and emag opened causes it to break the tracking device and displays nothing.

There, now shitters will be hunted down to the fullest extent of the law but you can open up lock boxes with any ID for blob and aliums

[Shadowmech88]

Complaints about the quality of lockboxes in general should probably go in another issue.

@Shadowmech88
Oh no you don't, I've already been through _that_ clusterfuck enough already.

[clusterfack]

If you report a bug you are exempted from it being bannable for you, except in the case you were caught abusing it explicitly in which case you can explain it to reduce your ban. That's my personal opinion anyway, it's not like the admins give a damn.

[FudgePucker]

It really also depends on the bug, this is something minor, he could have done 1000 other ways to open it. Shit like using an exploit to crash the server or to spawn admin guns is ban worthy
