note about bomb and stopwatch being on item layer
(removed the bit under bowling ball because all monsters have inventories; evident with item nailing and how they can pick up yellow teleports/blue keys) |

If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the first item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. Players can also choose to drop the first item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default), and rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) to change which item is next to be dropped. | ||
Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the [[terrain]]) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so. In Lynx, items do not behave differently in these circumstances. | Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the [[terrain]]) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so.

Those not intended to pick up items can still be given items by way of [[Item Bestowal]]. Every actor's inventory works the same way, dropping the first item when a fifth is picked up, though only player characters have the ability to manually cycle and drop items. | ||

In CC2, as a general rule, anything that steps on an item (or blocked [[yellow teleport]]) will pick it up. Most [[monster]]s can't pick up items simply because they're unable to step on them in the first place; blue keys are always picked up because they don't block anything. (This is also why item bestowal is possible; it tricks the game into making an actor "step" into the cell it's already in.) The few exceptions to this rule are as follows: | |||
* New blocks — that is, [[ice block]]s and [[directional block]]s — ''never'' pick up items, not even blue keys or yellow teleporters. | |||
* Only players and doppelgängers can pick up [[red key]]s or activate [[stopwatch]]es. | |||
* Only players can pick up [[computer chip]]s, [[time bonus]]es, or [[time penalty|time penalties]]. | |||
* [[Bonus flag]]s are picked up as normal (except by ghosts, which ignore them), but they only affect the player's score if a player picks them up. | |||

If [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] holds at least one '''bribe''' in their inventory and steps on a [[thief]], the bribe will be stolen but the rest of the inventory and [[bonus flag|bonuses]] will be preserved.

The game processes players collecting items before thieves stealing from players, so a thief with a bribe on it is essentially [[acting dirt]] that turns into a thief when moved off of (and pops your inventory if you have 4 items). | |||
In the CC2 main game, bribes are only used in [[Lesson 6 (CC2 level)|Lesson 6]], [[Flea Market]], and [[Line and Sinker]]. | |||
