[Fixed] CargoOps: Pickups can't be canceled.

Post by KnightHawk75 »

Been meaning to report this one.

If you assign a cargo capable unit(namely helo\tiltwing) to do a pickup and it passes validation and take the job, one can not then unassigned it from that duty. One can distract the unit temp with other waypoints, but if you um-assign it, or even RTB it, it will go right back to attempting the pickup, even after rtb'ing and later taking off again.

Only two ways to stop it. Have another unit get to picking up the unit first (there by either removing the original unit - or emptying it if it's not the type to auto delete upon no mounts after pickup aka civilians with personnel mounts). Two, delete the unit that was going to be picked up or force it to pickup something else closer first and fill itself up first, then it'll abort cause no more room.

Attached Scene demonstrates the problem clearly.

There is a also second closely related I think pick-up issue that one can simulate with the attached:
If you say are picking up 3 people, tell it to pick up first,then second, then third, they'll get queued (you can't see it but it happens). But after the first pickup is done, then just use 'unload cargo' and it'll stop drop and during what should be dropping #1 (or everything on board), it will instead magically pick the next person from 20nm (or 100nm) away, you can then repeat the process for #3. It will not actually do a drop while it has things in the pickup queue. Only when it's done or when it's full does it actually respond to unload. I Simulated this easily with 'A-Team' unit in the sample picking up each of the 3 people without having to actually get near the other two.

Fixed for the next update -- cargo pickup targets will be cleared when you 'Unassign' a unit.
