[0.98] Bug trade and equip can lose items.


Yesterday while playing the beta I found an interesting problem.  What happened was I tried to give some equipment to a henchman.  The equipment disappeared, and was no longer in the inventory of either the henchman, or the giver.  My first thought was that there was a problem with giving equipment to a henchman, but after reading the change log, I think that the problem may be with the trade and equip button.  My guess is at this point, that if you click trade and equip on an item that the receiver cannot use, the item just disappears.  This is rather unexpected, and I would think that the behavior should either be, popping up an error message that the receiver can't use the item, or trading it without equiping it.

The reason that reading the change log clarified what had happened was that the items I tried to give the henchman were bows and a cloak, and the change log specifically says that due to a bug, those were not usable by hanchmen.

yea, I cant reproduce this in house (perhaps because the other bug was fixed).  Let me know if anyone sees this with other units.

Looks like that's right.  The interface disables the trade and equip button if the target can't equip it, and this button wasn't disabled with the cloaks and bows to henchmen as they were supposed to be able to equip them.  So I guess when you gave them bows or cloaks the bug made them disappear.  If I just trade items it works fine, even if the henchman can't use it.  It was trading and equiping them with a bow or cloak that was the problem.

Kestral2040 this is exactly the bug that would occur if the item doesn't support the modeltype HenchmanMale.
