Target.too.far not solved

[erthel]

We encountered the same bug yesterday on Kamperland AO. I had my mission set to the main town. I set a fru, capture a building, and when trying to reset the fru it says somethigng like "your mission target is too far for this type of object", being 500m from target and nearest enemy facility. So it's the same, just the message changed. Still finds town targets too far when contested.

No the mission is too far message is just a bad message.

You can't place an MSP there because your mission target is not linked to your origin and so is invalid. The UI would show that your mission is never capable of having an MSP. In game you just don't have access to that information so when the placement fails the client just says "oh well, too far then".

Bug.

Could be something else too but there's not enough information in your post to speculate.

The mission was set from Kats AB to Stavenisse (area attack). FRU could be set when town was not contested, but could not be reset anywhere after town was contested. Same situation that when we had the "object.too.far" message, but with a different message (meaning the same).

I would like to help on this, so ask me any more info you need.

I had exact same problem yesterday, drove fru from bilze ab with target set as tongeren cp and got to within 100m - 800m and still couldnt set fru, got messange range to far.

test 1

• kats allied occupied
  
• strav axis occupied
  
• allied Ao on strav
  
• allied mission
  
  • origin kats ab
    
  • target area attack strav
    

  [*]spawn rifle ML go to strav

  [*]can place fru south of town

  [*]contest town - I use a tool to capture each facility in turn (but only that facility) and then test if an fru can be placed

  • stav-kats depot - yes
    
  • stav- goris depot - no
    

At this point I got a "too far from mission target".

I call this a show stopping bug.

Ticketed.

This looks fixed in 1.32.8.

What was happening is a weird check where if the closest facility to you was friendly the check would fail.

Also put in a possible fix for FRU placement causing a CTD.
