Cataclysm-dda: Lifting quailty not working

[Denniz-Dal]

Trying to remove a storage battery from a bubble car. Shows lift of 1 required despite telescopic crane next to both me and vehicle. (toolbox in inventory if that matters)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Telescopic crane next to you and vehicle
2. examine vehicle
3. select and remove storage battery

Should see crane and remove battery

I believe the crane has to be on THE vehicle you're trying to use it on.

[Denniz-Dal]

is that a recent change? I also tried an fork lift arm on the crane's vehicle. it didn't work, either.

[Denniz-Dal]

Nope. I tried installing the telescopic crane on the bubble car. No difference.

Note: the crane is on a foldable cart like I have been doing forever. (yes, it is unfolded. ;) )

[Regularitee]

As I understand it, the current restrictions are:
1) It cannot be on the vehicle you're want to work on.
2) You (and possibly the vehicle?) must be within two tiles of said crane.

I think it's absolutely stupid that these two restrictions are in place, and that no where in the game does it tell the player this information. That's horrible game design.

EDIT: This is a separate issue, so I'll create a separate topic for it.

hmm, this is a little crazy. I went to a different vehicle to try. I found an electric car. I was able to remove the storage battery from the far side but not the near side. When I went to the other side I could then remove the other one. There seems to be an issue with being TOO CLOSE to the battery. I was able to get the one from the bubble car by doing it from the extreme end of the vehicle.

@Denniz-Dal This might help in the mean time. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/25639#issuecomment-421661777

So your problem is probably the quaterpanell or something similar, since:

Cranes now provide LIFT to every point they can reach within 4 tiles, though are blocked by obstacles like boards or quarter panels.

Don't know why I have to remove the front of the car to remove the engine, but apparently - that's realistic.

@hameleona Fair enough. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/25662

@Denniz-Dal is this issue resolved?

[rubenpd]

the tile with the battery must be in unobstructed line of sight max 2 tiles far from the lifting tool

[Xanderga]

This issue should be closed as the issue has since been resolved/the issue doesn't exist since the required 2 tile distance for a lift to work properly is working as intended.

[Night-Pryanik]

Closing. If this is still an issue, ping me.
