A combat alerrt mod?!?

[Nepocrates]

I search the mods and I did not see anything like this but is there a mod where there is a sound and or message and or auto pause for when one memeber of your company goes into combat or is being attacked. I knwo the back ground truns red but if you are running multiple squads it can be a pain.

Thank in advance for any help

There is no way to pause the game, the devs did not add this as an option, but I will check if there is any chance to send a notification when it happens.

I've spent a couple hours trying to get it to work, and I have to say it is hard to understand the trigger system in FCS. I see that there are the means in the Dialogue system to trigger it, but it will take me a bit to get it to work.

Stay tuned.

The game needs a lot of improvements in the areas of interface and options, I'm a bit flabbergasted it hit official releas without

Ok, so... the dialogue system seems to be NPC focussed and will not trigger if the effector is the Player (or I am too dumb to get it to work properly).

Now, I do have an interesting alternative: an AI Package added to your default squad that sends characters to Protect Allies or Find and Rescue them if downed.

If you want to be my guinea pig, I can upload it to the workshop and you can get it.

Edit: It is worth noting that this will work only with the default Game Starts. If you have any mods for this, you will have to add the AI Package named 'Protect and Rescue' to that Squad Template via FCS.

Not sure if Autohotkey could be used to work around this (sometimes AHK doesn't work with some games). It would be a matter of sampling the tab colors to see if they had changed, and it could press the space bar to pause the game for you. I have used it for other games successfully so it might be worth a try here, if you don't mind a little programming.

Of course this is cheating. You should feel appropriately guilty if you go this route. :) The intent of the game is to make you stare at it for hours and hours and monitor every possible thing that could go wrong.

I know that but sometimes RL sticks its ugly head in to my game life so I might have been monitoring every thing but then poo poo happens
