[WotC] RW Realistic Aiming Angles & Highlander+
Heavily based on Krumiro’s [WotC] RW Realistic Aiming Angles, this started as a merge with Highlander 1.28.1 but has acquired some additional changes of my own. Many things are the same – see the original mod for details.
is no longer used. Instead it is combined with
which has also changed to avoid occasionally odd behaviour. Far-cover is determined by vertically scanning the target’s location and their "peek" location, which is where they’re looking around any cover they may be behind. Anything not already protected by cover which does not have line-of-sight will add to their far-cover. This is relatively low precision (currently 14 samples) to keep performance up, as the AI, in particular, will check for cover quite a lot while deciding how to act. Because it’s just two vertical scans the no-line-of-sight check is a bit touchy and may need some further refinement. The benefit of this method is that targets which would not normally get any cover will do so, but only if enough of the target is covered so that less than an Advent Trooper’s worth of them is visible (yes, an Advent Trooper is the standard unit of hitability, didn’t you know?).
Your XCOM troops are now always considered to be alerted when applying
which makes sense to me as we’re not just wandering though a city thinking "soooo bored, are there any aliens here at all?". Plus the behaviour before was inconsistent, with some player troops never getting alerted even after being shot at. That seems like a bug in the core game, but a mild one given that I don’t think it’s used for anything in core.
Maximum far-cover bonus now scales to whatever the high-cover bonus is set to.
Finally, the vanilla behaviour of reducing the "good angle" bonus when next to more cover has been removed as it’s already accounted for by the far-cover calculations
Thanks to Krumiro for the concepts and much of the code in this mod. Any bugs and balance issues with far-cover are my own.
Now, thanks to -bg-‘s [WOTC] EU Aim Rolls, with 100% less cover when running overwatch! This is independant of the EU Aim Roll configuration and is not enabled by default. To enable change the configuration
