Losing track of object = False object finding

A few points:
- FindObj… calls MSI_TrackObject, when adequate
- MSI_TrackObject increases its search area once, if it loses track of the object and *occasionally* grabs the wrong object because the other one disappeared.
- - There is an easy way to avoid this (distance check)

What I want to do is have MSI_FindObj returning false if it loses track of the object. Why?

Very simple:
- Track Object is unlikely to lose track of the object
- If it does lose track of the object and then someone steals it, we'll be waiting around like a suspicious bot.

The downside of this is that if it just simply loses the object because it lost it (which rarely happens now) we'll click it again.

So it's just a question of preference.

From many posts around the forum, most bans are fuelled from reports. I think that standing around is more likely to get us banned than clicking again

I agree.

People complain about double clicking, but as a legit player, I clicked a tree lots of times while I was still cutting. But yeah, just preference I guess.

Yeah. Doesn't hurt to try :)
If this doesn't work out then we could always revert to the current one :P
