Resolves (#5315)

Description:

Current implementation:

  • Adding click+hold functionality to launch multiple nukes via ConfirmGhostStructureEvent Instead of the prototype's mouse event approach.
  • Behavior is restricted to mouse (via event.pointerType === "mouse") for the time being.

Potential additions/changes considered (Feedback desired):

Worth mentioning: This different PR (which also stems from the prototype, see Issue#5265) deals with a different approach to empowering the player.

Resulting behavior is that the interval would fire as many nukes as uiState.upgradeMultiplier has active. This might be relevant because in practice, the combination of both is often overkill. This will get addressed when/if either PR gets merged.

Note: PR is set to draft initially so that discussion about these changes can happen before committing to a final approach.

  • Add a setting (defaults to true) under "Gameplay" to disable the behavior:

    • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
    • Con: Settings bloated by one additional toggle.
  • Add additional settings to control the HOLD_POINTER_WAIT_MS and HOLD_SECOND_ACTION_DELAY_MS variables:

    • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
    • Con: Settings bloated by two additional sliders.
  • Different approaches to input method (In comparison to current one):

    • Changing behavior to a key (such as Enter, which already confirms ghost events) instead of holding click:
      • Pro: Would make accidental triggering of the rapid-fire mechanic less common.
      • Con: A key only solution would be less intuitive than holding click.
    • Adding a key to trigger behavior:
      • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
      • Con: It should be rebindable, and therefore would also bloat settings.
    • Requiring a key to be held down for the behavior to trigger.
      • Pro: Pretty much ensures no accidental triggering ever.
      • Con: Severely harms usefulness, as it would be cumbersome.
  • Expanding behavior to structures that are not nukes

    • Con: Slightly outside the scope of this PR (I don't mind, but the reviewer might).
    • As expanding the existing AutoUpgradeEvent pipeline:
      • Pro: Would split behavior between offensive actions, could set a different (probably slower) interval.
    • As left click holding:
      • Pro: Would be potentially useful for upgrading structures.

Please complete the following:

  • I have added screenshots for all UI updates
    • No UI updates at this point in time.
  • I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
    • No text displayed at this point in time.
  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory
    • 4 tests have been added under its own describe statement within InputHandler.test.ts

Testing:

Ran the full test suite, no tests failing.
Manually tested

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds mouse click-hold deployment for bomb ghost structures. The handler emits delayed and repeated confirmation events, preserves quick mouse clicks, cancels early movement, and clears timers during release or destruction. Tests cover the timing and cancellation cases.

Changes

Mouse click-hold deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hold lifecycle wiring
src/client/InputHandler.ts
Adds hold timing values and state. Starts click-hold handling for mouse input. Cleans up on release and destruction.
Bomb confirmation and drag handling
src/client/InputHandler.ts
Confirms AtomBomb and HydrogenBomb ghost structures after the grace period, then repeats confirmation. Early movement cancels the hold.
Click-hold behavior tests
tests/InputHandler.test.ts
Tests quick-click behavior, timed confirmation, repeated confirmation, post-grace dragging, and early movement cancellation.

Losing focus can continue bomb confirmations without an active mouse press. The focused tests also need conversion to the required simulation setup before merge.

Hi @Pesinario, thanks for the contribution.

This PR was automatically closed because it doesn't fit our contribution workflow:

  • You aren't currently assigned to an issue labelled approved, and
  • The change is larger than 50 lines (our cap for unsolicited contributions).

To contribute to OpenFront:

  1. For bugs or small quality-of-life improvements: open an issue. A maintainer will label it approved if it's something we'll work on.
  2. For feature ideas: discuss in the dev Discord first. We don't accept unsolicited feature PRs — even if they're good ideas, every merged feature is a permanent maintenance burden.
  3. Once an issue is labelled approved, comment asking to be assigned. After you're assigned, you can open a PR referencing that issue.

If you believe this was closed in error, please reach out on our Discord or comment below.

542-542: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cancel the click hold when the window loses focus.

If no pointerup event reaches the window, clickHold() can continue emitting ConfirmGhostStructureEvent because its callbacks do not check pointerDown. Call clickHoldCleanup() in the blur handler.

Proposed fix
       this.pointerDown = false;
+      this.clickHoldCleanup();
       this.pointers.clear();

Use the repository setup() helper instead of mocked game objects.

This suite manually mocks GameView and constructs InputHandler. Rewrite these tests with setup() and exercise the hold behavior through the full game simulation.

As per coding guidelines, tests must use setup() from tests/util/Setup.ts and exercise the core simulation directly, not mocks.

Also applies to: 1018-1024

…" (#5394)

## Summary

- The pr-gate linked-issue regex required `#` to immediately follow the
closing keyword, so PR bodies writing `Fixes (#5315)` parsed no linked
issue and the gate auto-closed otherwise approved work (bit PRs #5374
and #5375).
- Allow an optional parenthesis on either side of the reference:
`\s+\(?#(\d+)\)?\b`.
- Kept the trailing `\b` (unlike the raw suggestion in the discussion)
so `fixes #5315abc` still links nothing — regex backtracking off the
optional `\)?` makes this compatible with `Fixes (#5315)`.
- Added tests for `Fixes (#5315)`, multiple parenthesized references,
and lone-paren variants `fixes (#7` / `fixes #8)`.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/PrGateRules.test.ts --run` — 40/40 pass (4 new
cases).
