Fixes #1863.

The problem

Rs2TileObjectModel.isReachable() returns a hardcoded true whenever the object's world view id matches the player's — which is every object in the top-level world view, i.e. essentially all overworld objects. The real check runs only when the ids differ:

if (objectWorldView.getId() == playerWorldView.getId()) {
    return true;
}
return IEntity.super.isReachable();

Consequences: query().where(m -> m.isReachable()) filters nothing, and nearestReachable() / firstReachable() degrade to nearest() / first() for tile objects, since both filter with source.filter(IEntity::isReachable) and dispatch to this override.

Inverting the condition is not the fix

Worth stating, because it is the obvious patch and it is wrong.

IEntity.super.isReachable() delegates to Rs2Reachable.isReachable(getWorldLocation())"is the object's own tile walkable?" A solid object's own tile never is. You interact with a booth, a tree or a rock from an adjacent tile.

So simply routing to the default makes every bank booth, tree and rock report unreachable. I built that version and measured it: all eight bank-related objects at Edgeville reported false, including booths that bank perfectly well in game. That is arguably worse than the constant, because a permanent false silently removes objects from consideration, where a permanent true at least fails visibly at the click.

It also seems the likelier reason for the original short-circuit: delegating to a tile test was never going to be right for tile objects, so return true was bolted on rather than the delegation corrected.

The fix

Rs2GameObject.isReachable(GameObject) already asks the right question — it builds the object's WorldArea from its sizeX/sizeY, collects the interactable tiles around it, and looks for one that is walkable and reachable. Rs2TileObjectModel already retains the underlying TileObject, so this delegates to that helper rather than reimplementing the geometry, which keeps the two paths from drifting:

if (objectWorldView.getId() != playerWorldView.getId()) {
    return false;                                                 // no walking between views
}
if (tileObject instanceof GameObject) {
    return Rs2GameObject.isReachable((GameObject) tileObject);     // adjacent-tile question
}
return IEntity.super.isReachable();                               // single-tile objects

The instanceof split is load-bearing rather than defensive: WallObject, GroundObject and DecorativeObject carry no sizeX/sizeY, so the area helper does not apply to them, and for a single-tile object the tile test is the honest answer.

How it was tested

Built the client from source three times — unmodified, with the naive inversion, and with this patch — and ran each logged in at the same spot (Edgeville bank), same account, same character position. For each build I recorded isReachable() for two populations: every bank-related object within 25 tiles, and a 2000-object sample of the loaded scene within 60 tiles, drawn in five slices so it was not only the nearest objects.

Build Bank booths Scene sample (2000 objects)
unmodified all true 2000 true / 0 false
naive inversion all false 894 true / 1106 false
this patch all true 1050 true / 950 false

Only the third result satisfies both requirements at once: objects that can genuinely be used report true, while roughly half the scene still reports false. A riverside location with building interiors and far-bank objects in range should produce a large minority of unreachable objects, and the unmodified build reporting not one false in 2000 is what makes the current behaviour visible.

I would encourage verifying this independently rather than taking the numbers on trust — the effect is large enough to be obvious in any setup where object reachability is inspected.

Not covered

  • The cross-world-view branch (return false) is reasoned, not measured. I did not test inside an instanced area such as a house or a raid.
  • No unit tests are included, as there appear to be none for this class to extend.
  • Rs2Reachable.isReachable remains hardcoded to Client.getTopLevelWorldView(). That is why the cross-view case cannot simply be delegated, and making it world-view aware would be a larger, separate change.
  • Scope appears limited to tile objects: Rs2NpcModel, Rs2ActorModel, Rs2PlayerModel and Rs2TileItemModel declare no isReachable override, so they inherit the default.

…t can be interacted with

isReachable() returned a hardcoded true whenever the object's world view id matched
the player's, which is every object in the top-level view. The real check ran only
when the ids differed.

Inverting that condition is not the fix. The IEntity default delegates to
Rs2Reachable.isReachable(getWorldLocation()), which asks whether the object's OWN
tile is walkable - and a solid object's tile never is. Routing to it makes every
bank booth, tree and rock report unreachable, which is worse than the constant.

Interaction happens from an adjacent tile, and Rs2GameObject.isReachable already
asks that question: it builds the object's WorldArea from its size, collects the
interactable tiles around it, and looks for one that is walkable and reachable.
The model keeps the underlying TileObject, so it delegates there instead of
reimplementing the geometry.

Walls, ground objects and decorative objects carry no sizeX/sizeY and occupy a
single tile, so the tile test remains correct for them.

Walkthrough

Rs2TileObjectModel.isReachable() now returns false for objects in a different world view. For GameObject instances, it delegates to Rs2GameObject.isReachable(). Other tile object types use IEntity.super.isReachable(). This replaces the previous same-world-view behavior that always returned true.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7a574

Some tile-object queries can still report inaccessible walls, ground objects, and decorations as reachable; fix this fallback before merging.

Use a player-origin check for non-GameObject tiles

AbstractEntityQueryable.nearestReachable() filters tile objects with IEntity::isReachable. For non-GameObject objects, Rs2TileObjectModel.isReachable() delegates to IEntity.super.isReachable(), which starts Rs2Reachable traversal at the object location. The object tile is therefore immediately reachable, so an inaccessible same-world wall, ground object, or decorative object can pass the filter.

Replace only this fallback with Rs2Tile.isTileReachable(getWorldLocation()). Keep the GameObject branch unchanged.

Good catch, and applied in b0241a4 — but the measurement says the reasoning was only half of it, which seems worth recording.

You're right about the mechanism. IEntity.super.isReachable() is Rs2Reachable.isReachable(p), which traverses from p and then asks whether p is in the result. It never consults the player, so it answers "is this tile part of some walkable region", not "can I get to it".

I A/B'd it on a live client rather than reasoning about it: same scene, same character position, 250 objects, one build each.

answers that changed 18, every one a GROUND object
truefalse 10
falsetrue 8
GameObject objects affected 0

The 10 are the case you described. The 8 going the other way were not expected: the old check also produced false negatives, because it was answering a different question rather than a laxer version of the same one. That makes the change a correction in both directions rather than a tightening, which I think is a better argument for it than the one I'd have written.

One cost worth flagging for whoever merges: Rs2Tile.isTileReachable does a client-thread read plus a traversal from the player per call, so a 400-object sweep went from 26.3s to 31.9s, about 21%. That call was already doing per-object traversal so it is not a new class of cost, but nearestReachable() over a large scene is not cheap either way.

Review feedback on the non-GameObject fallback, and it is right.
IEntity.super.isReachable() is Rs2Reachable.isReachable(p), which traverses FROM p and
then asks whether p is in the result. It never consults the player, so it answers "is
this tile part of some walkable region" rather than "can I get to it".
Rs2Tile.isTileReachable traverses from Rs2Player.getLocalLocation() to the tile, which is
the question the method name asks, and is the same check the GameObject branch already
ends up making through Rs2GameObject.isReachable.

Measured on a live client, same scene and same position, 250 objects compared between the
two builds: 18 answers change, every one a GROUND object, no GameObject affected. Ten go
true to false, the case the review described. Eight go false to true, which it did not -
the old check was wrong in both directions, because it was answering a different question
rather than a laxer version of the same one.

Cost is about 21% on a 400-object sweep, 26.3s to 31.9s, on a call that was already doing
per-object traversal.
