'''do not target the item - target behind or to the side
( just so NO targeting is done ) - that way - there will be no bombardment.
this has been in the game since it was first played.'''

Zarel commented

You could've told us earlier, Lav; we would've fixed it. :|

Okay, I can't reproduce this bug. When I order a wide spectrum sensor vehicle to collect an artifact, it collects the artifact.

Please upload a savegame with a wide spectrum sensor targeting an artifact. A screenshot would also be nice.

artifact destroyed :-)

I use Windows 7 with a fresh install of WZ 2.3 beta4
the bug shows up also with standard sensor turrets.
I saw the bug when using cheats... and reproducted it the same way.
just to make things clear:
the vehicle collects the artifact and orders the bombardment.
if the vehicle reachs the artifact while the bombardment is going... better for it to be a tracked dragon! (however I prefer hovers :-) )

Your savegame can't be loaded in 2.3 beta 5.

Can you make a savegame compatible with 2.3 beta 5 (or, better, latest trunk)?

here it is

Enrico Ghera <enrico@...> commented

i made the savegame with beta5
i see that today is available beta6....
tell me if you need a new savegame.
it is difficult for me to work with trunk version... i'm not playing from a linux machine.

may you want to reproduce this bug by yourself the steps are these:
start new skirmish - urban chasm map (simplest) - advanced bases - with scavengers
cheats on: whale fin - research all
build at least one archangel missile post
build factory modules
design new unit: wide spectrum turret dragon hover (from here referred as "vehicle")
build just one vehicle
start bombarding around until you get an artifact (the scavenger base is perfect)
go far away with the vehicle
place the mouse cursor on the artifact until it becomes a crane clamp (is it called so in english?)
left click
every archangel post should start firing missiles to the artifact spot and the veichle directs to the artifact to collect it.

Zarel,

I attached a new savegame from beta12.

still the same problem

to reproduce just left-click on the artifact. you will get a battage of artillery on the spot of the artifact.

When targetting using sensors, use action target of droids doing DACTION_OBSERVE.

Previous behaviour was to use order target, independently of whether the droid was doing DORDER_OBSERVE.

Artillery no longer shoots at oil barrels being picked up by sensor tanks.

Fixes #1281.
