commander assets does not work under the roofs
umm ive been playing commander recently, and i noticed that when i stand under a roof and request a support truck, it says its deploying it but it doesnt give it to me and when i request it again it says you cant request a support truck soon after your last. also it doesnt let me have a bunker under a roof. for example, in the kashan desert map i tried to set a bunker in the north bunker, yet it didnt work.i dont know if its a bug or it should be this way. anyways, i thought i should let you guys know

I've had this happen in the open too... on the map "7 Gates" I stood on the east side of the outpost, near the water, and requested a commander's truck. This was confirmed by the message "placing commander truck...". It never appeared. Requesting it again gave the message "you cant so soon after your last".
About 10 minutes later, I requested a commander truck in the exact same place. This time it appeared. ?

You usually can't place stuff indoors, and yes, it's how we intended (or need it to be because of engine limitations).
When something you try to spawn doesn't show up there are a couple of reasons:
1. Some other object is blocking the area
2. The asset is getting deployed too high (or low) in comparison to the commander position
Usually if you get the message that you can't deploy so soon, it's the first reason. The second reason is to avoid spawning an asset under a static and have it spawning over it. But in that case, it would allow you to try again.
Yes, there are issues, but it was the best we could made for now. The best place to put these assets is on flatter terrain and in the open.
