How to change look distance for attribute description? Now i can read only from player pos + 1sqm, i want change it to 5sqm, but i don't see anything in srouces
I try change there from 1 to 5, but nothing happend and in events/default_onLook
this - local description = "You see " .. thing:getDescription(distance)
to - local description = "You see " .. thing:getDescription(5)

Code:
    if (lookDistance <= 5) {
        if (item) {
            const uint32_t weight = item->getWeight();
            if (weight != 0 && it.pickupable) {
                s << '\n' << getWeightDescription(it, weight, item->getItemCount());
            }
        } else if (it.weight != 0 && it.pickupable) {
            s << '\n' << getWeightDescription(it, it.weight);
        }
    }

    if (item) {
        const std::string& specialDescription = item->getSpecialDescription();
        if (!specialDescription.empty()) {
            s << '\n' << specialDescription;
        } else if (lookDistance <= 5 && !it.description.empty()) {
            s << '\n' << it.description;
        }
    } else if (lookDistance <= 5 && !it.description.empty()) {
        s << '\n' << it.description;
    }

    if (it.allowDistRead && it.id >= 7369 && it.id <= 7371) {
        if (!text && item) {
            text = &item->getText();
        }

        if (text && !text->empty()) {
            s << '\n' << *text;
        }
    }
    return s.str();
}

Ok, i found it ;p
If someone needs it too, change to lib / core / item.lua - lookDistance <= 1, change 1 to your distance, from where the player can see the description
Code:
        if lookDistance <= 1 then
            local weight = obj:getWeight()
            local count = item and item:getCount() or 1
            if weight ~= 0 and it:isPickupable() then
                ss:append('\n')
                if it:isStackable() and count > 1 and it:hasShowCount() then
                    ss:append('They weigh ')
                else
                    ss:append('It weighs ')
                end
                ss:append('%.2f oz.', weight / 100)
            end
        end

        local desc = it:getDescription()...

Did this work for you/anyone because am having similar issues when trying to look at "Backpacks" but this does not seem to help that..
