Stop Idling - Improved units reaction speed

A very simple and lightweight mod that I've been using for quite a bit.
Improves the way your units react to commands when pinned/firing/idling.

Pinning improvement:
- Ranged units and artillery are far more susceptible to be pinned in melee. Hybrid units swap between melee/ranged weapons quicker as a results.
- Idle melee units will react faster when coming in contact with enemy units.
- When ordered to move units will try their best to follow the order, instead of going back into the fight just because a lone unit has been trapped in combat. It will still happen if too many units are pinned.

Firing Improvement:
- Increased LOS threshold to become obstructed, so that even if less troops are able to shoot, they'll still fire on the enemy.
- Decreased the obstruction radius of friendly units, especially for weapons that have friendly fire. Now a man can shoot above the head of a dwarf. Incredible.

**This mod will never need an update.**

Compatibility:
Since this mod plays around vanilla values in the kv_rules table, it's compatible with almost every mod around the workshop. The worst that could happen is my values being overridden by those injected by another mod. Can be safely added/removed at will during your campaign, as it will only change *some* aspects of the battle AI.

This mod 把算力偏向远程单位，解决远程不开火的问题 Solve the problem of not firing https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438179005 is NOT compatible and fully discouraged.
That mod overrides most of my changes in an extremely unhealthy and gamebreaking way. If you are interested in trying changing how AI interacts with direct/indirect shooting, I'd suggest you to use this one instead Passive Shooting Revised https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3439536997 , as it doesn't touch the kv_rules.

Regarding Friendly Fire:
There is a light increase in friendly fire in this mod, especially for low-accuracy low-rank missile units. Due to the changes above regarding direct commands, a missile unit that receives a DIRECT attack order from the player will be forced to shoot, at the cost of inflicting more friendly fire than a unit who is idling/attacking automatically. Those values where balanced around my 500ish hours of using this mod, reflecting the fantasy/realism I find the best.

If you think that even my values are too extreme for you, the mod More High Angle Fire https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3442905174 is compatible with this one, overriding some of my values to decrease a bit the efficiency of guns while being very frontline-friendly for arcing missile units.
