WOTC Version: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123163799

Adds an ability to all soldiers to preview LOS range by tiles, even beyond movement range.

This lets you measure LOS edge more easily and provides LOS indicator against allied units and civilians.

Now also have an ability to preview the movement range of enemies.

Also added ability to preview carry-able bodies, no more guessing where your downed soldiers are.

Known Issues:
– Only tiles of the same elevation + lowest elevation checks whether LOS is blocked, this is due to performance constraints (< 10 fps if all elevations are checked), however units of all elevations are still checked and highlighted if visible. (Uses same system as existing LOS checks, so it may have a small chance to lie)
– It has to take a spot on the ability bar, originally I plan to let it use the command bar at the top right, but there’s a lot of bugs when attempting to add an ability there (which explains why overwatch/evac all use the bottomn ability bar and the command range button from the LWS mod places its button outside of the bar)

TODO:
– Dynamically change radius based on LOS of source (currently is fixed to same range as default LOS)
– Highlight objectives

You may disable/enable this mod any time, but the button will not be added until you start a tactical mission with the mod active.
