Description:

This is a new version of Shaken Scars Are Back!, which has a chance to randomly give your soldiers a scar when they are gravely wounded*. The original has a logic error that makes it only work correctly if you manually change a soldier’s wound to "No Wound". Any soldiers that didn’t have a wound set (the default for a new soldier) would always get a scar with any injury.

*Pre-WotC the "shaken" status referred to wounds, basically the equivalent to grave wounds in WotC. It had a chance to apply scars when that happened, but WotC removed the random scar mechanic. (That’s why the original was "shaken" scars….)

There is another mod, Gravely Wounded Scars, that is very similar to this one. It has two differences: first, it has a minor bug that will only allow one soldier in a mission to gain a scar if the threshold is set to any wound. Second, if it applies a scar, that scar is removed by the player, and later the soldier is eligible for another scar, it will never apply one. That functionality has been included here, but can be disabled in the config.

Big thanks to Mr. Nice, the author of Shaken Scars Are Back! and RealityMachina, the author of Gravely Wounded Scars. Both are inactive in the community now, but if either of them requests it, I will take this mod down.
