=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===

The intent selector has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm'''.

====Help Intent [[File:Intent_Help.png]]====
The '''Help''' intent is used for helpful interactions. For example, if someone is in critical condition, clicking on them (with an empty hand) will have you perform CPR. You'll also apply medication if you're holding any. In addition, if you have your intent on Help, and walk into someone who also has their intent on Help, you'll swap places with each other (instead of just pushing them in the drection you're moving). '''Be careful''' - if you have an item in your hand that isn't designed to help someone, you'll still attack them with it!

====Disarm Intent [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]====
The '''Disarm''' intent is used to nonlethally disarm and incapacitate people. If you click on someone with an empty hand while on Disarm, you'll '''shove''' them. Shoving someone pushes them one tile away from you. If there is nothing blocking them, they are slowed down very slightly for 3 seconds. If you shove someone again while they are slowed, it knocks ranged weapons out of their active hand. If the blocking tile has a table on it, they're pushed onto it [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knocking them over]] for 3 seconds. If it has another human on it, it knocks them both over, the collateral victim for 1 second instead of 3. If the tile is blocked by something else, it knocks them down for 3 seconds. Once [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knocked down]], if they are shoved again it [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzes]] for 4 seconds. This [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] cannot be chained or extended, so shoving them again while they're [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzed]] does not extend the length of the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]]. 

It's also important to note that '''these actions only work if you're clicking on the target with an empty hand''', just as with all intents.

====Grab Intent [[File:Intent_Grab.png]]====
The '''Grab''' intent allows you to, as it says, grab people. Grabbing someone with Grab intent works differently from control-clicking. If you click on someone with an empty hand, you'll have a '''passive''' grab, which makes you pull people. You stop dragging the same way you stop pulling. See [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keyboard Shortcuts]] or click "pull" to release. Dragging prone people will slow you down. While on passive grab, clicking on the person once more upgrades it to an '''aggressive''' grab. The target can press [[Hotkeys#Hotkey-mode_Enabled|"resist"]] to try to escape from an aggressive or above grab level. Once you have an aggressive grab, you can either throw the person (by enabling throwing, then clicking somewhere), fireman carry them if they're prone (by click dragging their sprite onto yours), or click them again to slowly upgrade the grab to a level 3 '''neck''' grab. On neck grab you deal no damage, but it's harder for them to resist and get away. Click them one last time to slowly upgrade the grab to level 4, '''strangling'''. When strangling you deal [[Health#Oxygen|suffocation]] damage to the target, and the target has the lowest chance (5% per try) to successfully [[Hotkeys#Hotkey-mode_Enabled|resist]] out of the grab. Failing to resist out of a grab will deal some [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] damage to you. Grabs are harder to break out of the more [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] and [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage you have (especially stamina), but there is always at least 5% chance per try.

====Harm Intent [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]====
The '''Harm''' intent will harm. On standing targets you will attempt to punch them, which deals 1.5-15 [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] and 1-10 [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage. The chance to miss a punch increases the more stamina and brute damage you have. Punching has a chance to [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]] the target for at least 4 seconds. The more brute and stamina damage the target has, the longer the target will be knocked down. If using harm intent on prone targets you will kick them, which deals 1.5-15 brute damage, with no chance to miss.
