[WOTC] Long Watch Toggle
Ever feel trapped by Long Watch forcing bad shots or engagements?
This mod lets your snipers toggle between Long Watch and Overwatch.
Now you have the freedom to take Long Watch, without the shackles.
Features
- Adds a toggle ability for units with Long Watch
– Standard soldiers without the ability are unaffected - Switch between Overwatch and Long Watch freely
- Remains toggleable after using Long Watch/Overwatch (requires [WOTC] One More Thing)
- Highly configurable with inline INI documentation
- Lightweight and compatibility-friendly; uses conditions, zero overrides
- Self-integrates with [WOTC] One More Thing to allow toggling after Overwatch is used
– This allows you to fix it if you used the wrong directive; turns still end naturally - Localized in all eleven major languages
- Can be added mid-campaign or mid-tactical (abilities will show on next mission)
- Tested and compatible with Universal Threat Asssessment and LWOTC
Take the ability. It can trap you no longer.
Configure Anything
- Choose the default state (default: Overwatch)
- Choose if your last choice persists (default: enabled)
– In this mode, you can toggle until the squad uses up their AP; lets you fix wrong choices - Choose if units get a current-mode indicator perk in tactical (default: enabled)
- Choose the HUD position for the toggles (default: beside Overwatch)
Why This Matters
Vanilla Long Watch replaces standard overwatch permanently. If a pod patrols near your concealed scout, you’re forced to activate from squadsight range – often a bad angle, often a missed shot. This mod lets you switch back to Overwatch when close-range threats matter, then flip it back to Long Watch when you need the rooftop sniper fantasy.
Long Watch becomes a tactical choice, not a liability.
