Set the target point a tiny bit too far, miss the color change, and it does NOTHING, and you die in the AOE.
How about just making your character jump as far as possible toward the target point if it's outside max range? If it's closer, you jump to the target.
Within max distance:
Me-----------TARGET-----------MAX
Move >>>>> HERE
If over max distance, it should do this
Me -----------------------------MAX-------TARGET
Move >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HERE
Not this:
Me -----------------------------MAX-------TARGET
Move - Nowhere.
