fixed [REPORTED] Can't select Set Target on enemy unit

[ChickenSim]

I don't know if I'm missing something but if I Set Target on an existing enemy unit that appears on the F10 map, I can't reselect the Set Target icon, it just selects the enemy unit underneath instead.

 

Makes it really hard to cancel a fire mission if I can't select the Set Target to Remove Target, and I'm not aware of any hotkeys to cycle through existing targets, select multiple entities on the F10 map at once, or anything that might help. Pored through the manual and the Adjust Controls menu.

Agreed, most annoying.

Weird, working fine on internal version, but not release and Open Beta, so reported and hope fix will be easy to move over.

[Livers]

NL, out of curiosity, can you select either the target or the indicator? Both should be doable, correct?

Yes, you should be able to select the enemy unit you are targeting or the indicator where you are firing.

Still an issue.

This bug is fixed from my last test. I would select the target not the unit when I tried.

Anything happening?

It depends, it works for ground units (don't know about SAMs), but not for air units

Yesterday I had the bug.

 

I targeted some sam sites with my 109 battery. Unfortuneatly the were out od range. I could not deselect the targets.

 

It was on a mp server.

Did it ever leave?

for a brief moment

[NineLine]

Do you guys have any tracks or mission examples, I was doing something the other day with selecting targets and it worked fine.

[Shadow KT]

Ground unit vs ground unit, you cannot select.

 

Ground unit vs air unit, you cannot select.

 

Airborne unit vs airborne unit, you can select.

 

Airborne vs ground unit, you cannot select.

Add Target.trk

Ok, will report again, its working fine on our dev build, but not on any OB builds, thanks guys.

[Vanguard]

NL can you bump again? For something that's been fixed internally for some time, it's taking quite awhile to reach us. Thanks.

Hi, exactly what weapons and kind of target are you talking about?..:)

If I knew I'd run tests.

Still an issue for me. Using Paladins I cant select the fire mission once it's down. I usually try to zoom in and select the ground as the target to mitigate the issue but if I'm zoomed out a bit too much the Arty target 'snaps' to a unit, but I cannot then select it to cancel etc. If I'm on the ball, and notice, I cancel the target before right clicking and starting the fire. 

[PoorOldSpike]

Try NOT cancelling an old mission, just plonk a new mission and the arty unit will hopefully use that one. I seem to remember doing that in the past and it seemed to work so it's worth a try.

I'll give it a try! 

 

Although my OCD may struggle with having a superfluous target kicking about 

 

 

[Livers]

Finally, it is fixed again. First click selects the target, the second the underlying unit.
