Problem

In-client bug report MB-DGQN2C (Microbot 2.6.57, GemCrabKillerPlugin 1.0.7).

When the Gemstone Crab burrows, Gem Crab Killer walks to the cave (object 57631) and clicks "Crawl-through". The game answers "I can't reach that", the can't-reach recovery walks towards the cave and stops two tiles short, and the click is refused. This repeats until the retry limit (random 3 to 5) is used up, after which all scripts are paused and the "tried to interact with an object for N times but failed" popup appears. The script never moves to the next crab and the player has to crawl through by hand.

Root cause

Rs2TileObjectModel.recoverFromCantReach returned false, meaning "do not click", whenever CantReachTargetRecovery.walkTo(objectLocation, 2) returned false. The cave is set into a wall, so it has no reachable neighbouring tile and the walker deliberately never reports arrival for it. The can't-reach flag therefore stayed set, every click was refused, and the retry limit paused all scripts although the player was standing beside the cave.

Change

  • Rs2TileObjectModel.recoverFromCantReach: when the recovery walk fails but the player is already within CANT_REACH_RECOVERY_DISTANCE (2 tiles) of the object, it logs one line, clears Microbot.cantReachTarget and lets the click go through. Further away, or when the distance is unknown, the click is still refused as before.
  • CantReachTargetRecovery.withinRange(int, int): small helper for that range check.
  • docs/entity-guides: movement gotcha 37 and its README link.

The attempt count is kept on this path. A failed walk alone no longer leads to the pause, but if the game keeps answering can't-reach to the click itself, the pause and popup still appear after 3 to 5 refused clicks. Clearing the count would let that case re-click forever.

Not changed: Rs2Walker arrival logic, the pause after exhausted retries, the NPC recovery in Rs2Npc / Rs2NpcModel, and the Hub GemCrabKiller script.

Validation

./gradlew :client:runUnitTests --tests '*Rs2TileObjectModelClickRecoveryTest' --tests '*CantReachTargetRecoveryTest' --tests '*Guardrail*': BUILD SUCCESSFUL, 0 failures.

  • Rs2TileObjectModelClickRecoveryTest: 10 passed. New: clicksWhenTheRecoveryWalkEndsWithinRangeOfTheObject, pausesOnlyAfterTheGameKeepsRefusingClicksBesideTheObject. Adjusted: doesNotClickWhenTheRecoveryWalkFailsAwayFromTheObject.
  • CantReachTargetRecoveryTest: 8 passed. New: onlyAKnownDistanceInsideTheRangeCountsAsBesideTheTarget.
  • ClientThreadGuardrailTest, QueryableTerminalGuardrailTest, Rs2GameObjectUsageGuardrailTest: passed.

The full unit test suite was not run. Reviewed by the code reviewer and the player-experience reviewer, both approved with nits (listed below).

Known gaps

  • Not verified in game: covered by unit tests only. The report does not show why the first click was refused, and the manual crawl that worked started one tile away from where the recovery walk ends. If the game also refuses the click from that tile, the script still pauses after 3 to 5 clicks, the same end state as before.
  • A click sent through the new path never resets the attempt count, even when the game accepts it, and each attempt restarts the 5-minute window. A script that hits this path on a wall-set object more often than every 5 minutes would be paused on the 3rd to 5th pass although every click worked. Gem Crab Killer is not affected (crabs are about 10 minutes apart). Possible follow-up: reset the count when the next click on that object starts with the flag clear.
  • The same "failed walk means no click" pattern in Rs2Npc.interact and Rs2NpcModel is not covered. NPCs are not set into walls, so it is far less likely there.
  • The new branch does not look at why the walk returned false, so a cancelled or interrupted walk that ends within 2 tiles now sends one click instead of none.
  • The new log line names the object by id only.
  • A second local branch, claude/err-bug-gemcrabkiller-cave-crawl-not-clicked, holds an unpushed fix for the same root cause in the same method. It has no PR and should be dropped rather than shipped alongside this one.

…s beside it

The recovery walk asks the walker for a tile within 2 of the object's own
tile. For an object set into a wall the walker never reports arrival, so
the click was refused on every attempt, the can't-reach flag stayed set
and the third to fifth attempt paused all scripts.

When the walk fails but the player is within the recovery distance of the
object, clear the flag and send the click. The attempt count is kept, so
the pause still happens when the game keeps refusing the click itself.

Walkthrough

Object-click recovery now sends a click after a failed recovery walk when the player’s known distance to the object is between zero and two tiles, inclusive. The recovery path clears Microbot.cantReachTarget and retains the retry count. Tests cover in-range clicks, out-of-range recovery, and repeated refused clicks. The movement guide documents the behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 3fd61

If a script is stopped or a human takes over during the can't-reach recovery walk while the player is within two tiles of the object, the object can still be clicked. The impact is narrow and easy to fix by returning early when the walk was cancelled. Otherwise the change behaves as intended and is mergeable after that guard is added.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the Rs2TileObjectModel click path now proceeds when the can't-reach recovery walk fails but the player ends within 2 tiles of the object. The changeset matches this, including the new CANT_REACH_RECOVERY_DISTANCE constant, the withinRange helper, and the tests. The title is specific and single-sentence, though it runs to 80 characters.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not click an object after the recovery walk is cancelled.

When the walk exits because the thread was interrupted, the walkTo call can return false. The new branch then checks only the distance. If the player stands within 2 tiles, the method clears Microbot.cantReachTarget and returns true. The caller then continues to the click. Microbot.doInvoke checks only ScriptPauseController.isPaused(), so the click is sent.

A human takeover can produce the same result, because isWalkCancelled treats InputArbiter.isHuman() as a cancel.

Return before the distance fallback when the walk was cancelled:

Add the same early return for InputArbiter.isHuman() if that class is available in this file.
