Variable controlling placement range?

[obstinate]

Hi. I consider the requirement to stand within a particular short range of what I'm trying to place to be flow-breaking and annoying. I'd like to make a small mod to remove that restriction. However, I'm having trouble locating the variable that controls this. I've checked LuaPlayer and I don't see anything obvious. Does anyone happen to know off the top of their head where this value is stored? Hopefully I don't have to override can_reach_entity . . .

Seems it's hard coded (found that out in another thread). So:

I guess you meant to link to [Request] Variable to control manual action distance ?

Just so. I don't know why it mangled my URL.
