#6462 US fru cool-down not reset when mission is changed

[Nick]

It seems that the cool-down timer for US troops isn't reset if you create a new mission.

Test 1

• launch beta 1.34.10.1
  
• spawn us inf
  
• place fru
  
• reselect build tool
  
• notice red build
  
• place says "must wait for cooldown"
  
• desapawn
  
• create new mission
  
• spawn us inf
  
• place fru
  

Expected functionality.

What were you seeing different?

This isn't associated with the US. It is for all sides. The bug is your cooldown timer seems to be attached to your player and will follow you from one mission to the next, i.e. FRU down on your mission, you despawn and create a new mission, yet must wait for a timer.

Something like that, not 100% sure, maybe someone can elaborate

That's exactly what was happening, my fru got taken down, I created a new mission but I still had to wait for the fru timer, I tried several times, I even changed brigade and each time I had to wait for the timer before I could place a new fru, I only noticed it happen with the US. troops.

Must admit I haven't tried again since.

"my fru got taken down,"

Well that's a pretty critical part of the report.

I'm not retesting today but I can probably get it fixed with a confirmation of this test:

Test 1

• launch beta 1.34.10.1
  
• spawn inf as ML
  
• place fru
  
• have enemy destroy fru
  
• reselect build tool
  
• notice red build
  
• place says "must wait for cooldown"
  
• desapawn
  
• create new mission
  
• spawn us inf
  
• place fru
  
• BUG?
  

Expected Functioanlaity: Timer should reset when you despawn even if the FRU was destroyed. The timer is per mission not per player.

I had the same situation on multiple occasions over the last few days on Axis. Fru taken down, die or despawn, start new mission from same Brig or a different Brig, and whether as an Opel or infantry try to set a FRU on new mission and still have full cooldown timer.

I had this again today on the live server, obviously I wasn't playing US. this time, the timer definitely stayed with me and not my mission.
