Hacking Duration

[timb132]

Hi. I was looking for info on how long a hacked controlled unit persists in this state and the only answer I could find basically said the game tells you. If so, I'm missing it.

Could someone please let me know either:
how long it lasts and/or where exactly this information is displayed

Thanks!

2 of your active turn. (at least on Legend)

I use those 2 mods, they work nicely together:

i don't think the game ever mentions but i do believe it is 2 of your turns reguardless of difficulty. the only thing that i have done that gained me someone permanently was either the psyoperative using its domination on a non robot unit or i do believe you can hack a lamp post to gain control of a robot permanently for the map though that is random and rare.

the ability says gain control of robot for 2 turns. the thing is it starts your next turn, so it lasts a while

Thanks for the info folks. The "gain control for 2 turns starting on your next turn" appears to be the winner.

Some notes:

red255 - Where EXACTLY does it say that? A manual, somewhere in the game, please illuminate me.

Ozymandias - Thanks for the mod recomendations. Even knowing it's 2 turns I could lose track for any # of reasons.

On a sidenote I downloaded a mod that is supposed to display what different items are used for when your in the black market, like it takes 2 Xs to make a Y, so you can make a more informed decision about what to sell. Unfortunately it doesn't work with WotC. Anyone know of a mod that does this that would work?

Thanks again all!

When you select the hack option it tells you the duration.
