Pre-Scamper Ability Stopper
This is a small utility mod that prevents enemy units (specifically, anyone NOT on eTeam_XCOM or eTeam_Resistance) from using specific abilities prior to scampering. Inspired by ADVENT Avenger’s Ever Vigilant Bugfixes WOTC mod, the big difference from a player perspective is that the affected abilities are open to config. The configuration is handled in XComGame.ini. By default, the following abilities are included:
- Overwatch
- Long Watch
- Sniper Rifle Overwatch
- Pistol Overwatch
- Ever Vigilant
- Deep Cover
- Guard (from Iridar’s Stormrider Class mod)
I’ll be updating the list with more abilities if I need to. Feel free to suggest more that would make sense to add. Keep in mind that this only affects enemies’ possible actions PRE-scamper, i.e. it will not affect yellow alert actions in any way.
– Just War of the Chosen. You do not need LWOTC, Mod Jam or any other mods in my Workshop to use this one.
– RustyDios for helping me with code once again.
– ADVENT Avenger for making Ever Vigilant Bugfixes, which inspired this mod.
