Summary​

NPCs won't use gifted artifacts

Description​

prior to 1.9.0 I'd gift weapons and armor to some of my knights to increase their prowess. Since the update, I've been getting the error message "so-and-so cannot equip this artifact". I've been getting this for characters that are both inside and outside of my realm, rulers and non-rulers, and both inventory and court artifacts.

I tested gifting an artifact to another character anyway, then swapping to that character and equipping. This worked just fine, however if I gift it to them and don't swap to equip it manually, they'll never do it on their own. I've let over a year pass and they still don't equip it on their own.

Steps to reproduce​

Does the Character already have an Artifact on the same slot, because the AI only changes Artifacts for a better Artifact.

Does the Character already have an Artifact on the same slot, because the AI only changes Artifacts for a better Artifact.

No, when I swap over to that character the slot is empty. Same thing with court artifacts, I gifted a pedestal item to someone who still had 3 pedestal slots to fill.

Maybe the cause of the bug is if they have 1+ slot filled, the comparison code just compares it to the first one and thus doesn't fill it to the empty slots.

Why wouldn't it equip a weapon then? that slot

Maybe the cause of the bug is if they have 1+ slot filled, the comparison code just compares it to the first one and thus doesn't fill it to the empty slots.

It should equip a weapon/armor artifact then, those slots are empty when I'm making the gift. Some of the people I've tried gifting artifacts to don't have a single artifact prior to me making the gift.

This could be related to this other bug that also breaks the Gift Artifact interaction pretty badly. From my testing it seems the can_equip_artifact trigger is broken. I don't see this particular trigger used in the code to determine whether to equip an artifact, however it could be that other artifact-related effects and triggers are similarly broken, perhaps with a common root cause.
