this probably affects only me since i use mouse tb and rts pretargeting w/ extensive control groups for direct control
however it still affects me

how to reproduce:

  1. select tb
  2. set tb to mouse control
  3. target tb in rts
  4. enter dc
  5. click the target
  6. tb won't turn off until target is gone

pretty bad since tb turning not turning off midmatch has lost me multiple games in multiplayer

#

in gif, ions show when i click

Can you elaborate on step 5 please?

turn on the tractor beam with mouse control and make it go over the target

#

Isn't the tractor beam already firing from step 3 though?

#

the problem is usually either because the tractor beam is included in a control group along with the guns and i target it before we're in range

#

that way if i get kicked out of dc for whatever reason the guns still have a target

#

or if i'm using ai control they can actually aim

#

once i'm in range the tb just won't turn off

#

the main issue is i need to have the tb selected in order to change the mode, but i also want to be able to target my guns so i must have both tb and guns selected

#

after i target my guns, tb refuses to turn off

Ohhh I see now. I might've been overthinking this issue, it's super easy to reproduce now that I have a better idea of what the problem is.
