Can't perform "standing actions" when freefloating with momentum

[AnonymousNow]

Trying to perform an action in zero-gravity while you have directional momentum that you are not causing yourself (eg. trying to uncuff yourself or apply a medical patch while floating through space unassisted by a jetpack or the like) fails, as if you are walking, running or moving of your own volition.

I don't think that this is a bug - more an oversight, perhaps. It seems illogical that a person who is, relatively speaking, still and concentrating on one task in zero-gravity would fail because they're drifting a little.

Discuss?

This was brought up some time ago and was never really concluded. Regardless of if you should or should not be do those actions in space while moving, it's still currently inconsistent; You can jab yourself with a syringe to the eye but not apply a patch. I'm of the mind that you should be able to do all the actions while moving zero-g, provided that you're not spinning around your own axis many times per second where the actual g-forces from the spin would render you unconscious.

This is a dupe, im fairly sure

[Marflowerose]

Yeah, dupe of #10235 though apparently there was a fix? #14187

[XDTM]

It was fixed at some point, what brought it back?

[timothymtorres]

This was fixed with either #23384 or #14187
