Thing is, you actually don't want to put that line of code in there, because sometimes you DO need to fire on yourself. If you build a tool that fails that case because some idiot hard coded a rule with no override because they didn't understand every single case where their too might need to be used no amount of training can fix the problem. Sometimes you have to assume the user is smart enough to use your tool. I think this is the right idea, but you absolutely want to let the user shoot themselves in the foot if they want to, but you should make sure they know they are going to shoot themselves in the foot.

- boinky 11y agoIt seems reasonable that this device may not only be used to drop bombs, could be replenishing munitions or dropping food on target. Point being, a simple "are you too close" does the complexity a disservice.
