Certain actions aren't cancelled when you move away

[Sarah_U.]

Bug Description:
Simply put, creating a false wall or some other things related to being next to an object don't cancel out if you move away and come back.
It mostly applies to interactions with a girder and things that don't ask you to hold still, even thou logically you should to be able to do so.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Apply 2 sheet of metal on a displaced girder.
2. Move away during the process.
3. Move back closer before the end of the timer and see the false wall being created.

Sadly, that's a side effect of a trick we do to save processing power. Basically, instead of constantly checking the position you are in, it creates a timer, and checks at the completion and at the start. I COULD make it check always, but that wouldn't be as efficient code.

Maybe, I should half the timer, throw a check, and throw another timer.

Bah it's fine then, no need to lower performance for that

It's the same thing with aliens devouring you....

Well close.

I think this was fixed with the xenos being unable to devour after you move away.

Asking this to be locked.
