[WOTC] Tactical Options

@Mustand0524, Use [WOTC] Tactical Options

Would love to have a version of this for wotc!

AI will also use the new overwatch rules?

Spent ages figuring out it was this mod that doesn't work with wotc :(

It does not, but i am porting this to WOTC in the mod WOTC Tactical options, it will be there in the next update

this works for wotc?

@Rob: Inbalanced in which way? If anything, it's only a buff for XCom, because you still have regular overwatch too...

it's cool but the fact that the enemies do not have to do makes it a bit unbalanced.

So I bought the DLC just now and fuck me are there many in my opinion essential mods, like this one that for whatever reason has not been updated. To me that's somewhat bizarre.

@Isms
Hi. Is it possible that you will update this awesome mod in near future?
Or, is there anybody that can update this for WOTC?

It seems pretty neat, although for WotC I can confirm it crashes on start-up.

Hi every one. I honestly don't have the time or money to continue working on this. Hopefully it still works? It's a pretty minimal mod, so I hope it works with WoTC. Any one is welcome to take this idea or any code and use it at their leisure.

Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to add the smart overwatch to the pistols, because when i move my sniper and only can use the pistol i cant use smart overwatch, or is a bug?

There is a new skill, Interrupt, that the Skirmisher gets. That would be my ideal "overwatch" mod, give me the options like in Jagged Alliance 2 or Silent Storm.

so... can you make this for WotC?

Definitely waiting on an update for this one.

I am also getting the "Smart Overwatch RC" option on my Long War Ranger and Specialist where I have no visible cone and the soldiers seem to be pointing downward. It should be noted that both of these soldiers have the "Covering Fire" perk active.

So, any hope that this may work with WotC?

The ability to dictate where I overwatch just made it so that I wont be forced to waste shots because the pod decided to patiently wait until the next one came into view. Good work.

OverwatchAimBonus applies in addition (with the normal penalty also there).

ConeWidth and NormalConeWidth I think just applies to rifles? It's been a while, and I no longer have the stuff installed to look at the code again.

Thx for this Mod, I like it!
Does the OverwatchAimBonus apply in addition or instead of the normal overwatch penalty?

Rifle, Shotgun and Sniper is obvious, but what applies ConeWidth and NormalConeWidth to? What applies to heavy cannons?

not working for me but im playing with 91 mods so :$

Some soldiers have "Smart Overwatch RC", which has a different icon but no observable cone. Is this a bug?

No, this is literally just overwatch in selected areas, not a 360 degree vision

So this makes Kill Zone useless?

I have noticed setting smart overwatch in one direction, yet the soldier fires (in overwatch) on enemy movement from a different direction. Also with some units I've had 'smart overwatch RC' and no cone. What does this mean?

This mod works really well with overwatch ignores concealment, so you can direct your focus incase they walk to flank your guys

Ok thanks, I'll resub to default thanks :)

@=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil:

The default length of the rifle cones is set to the actual range of the gun. It's the same length as regular overwatch. (shotguns are actually shorter, but you can change this. However, some like the shotgun cone to be short so that the shooter doesn't take any long range shots that have severe range penalties).

When the Sniper gets long watch, the cone becomes practically infinite in length.

If I were you, I would NEVER touch the length of the cone. The shotgun cone's length is the only one that should ever be adjusted if you want to.

Thanks! I like the idea of a small aim boost just focusing in on a small area..

I might be wrong, but it feels like the length on the cone is a little small.. I know it can be adjusted. But I feel like there's been a few times somehow it's not gone off because the ai's dodged it somehow)(even although I thought it was on them, or the range didn't seem long enough). And what about snipers with long watch, does the cone length change for that?

@=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil

It only applies to this particular smart overwatch.

Is the overwatch aim bonus only applicable when using smart overwatch?? Or does it apply to all overwatches?

One thing I've found that bugs me with this amamznig mod, is that I've been a little too close sometimes, and using overwatch hasn't activated as the enemy has ran sideways :(

@Isms They all have snapshot because they are all markmen snipers and I am not running out of icons because I can scroll more icons due to the LWS toolbox. I also noticed that my spesialist dont have the cone marking when using smart overwatch. This mod is still great and I will continue using it once LWS fixes their unit pack, their last update broke it completely.

Hey man, just want to say love the mod, currently running it with this one:

Absolute godsend! Just as a slight point in case it hasn't been mentioned, that something funky seems to be happening with Grimy's bestiary mod, with all the aliens having about 5-6 smart overwatch entries, any ideas what may be causing this?

Apart from that, amazing work!!

@smkngbuddha:

Do they have snap shot or are you running out of icons?

I have it set so that Smart Overwatch is added to every unit when the tactical map begins. Otherwise, i'm not sure what it is.

Actually, I have some ideas. It will take me a bit to figure it out.

Smart overwatch is not available on my LWS Sharpshooters

@NatePony:

Smart Overwatch has the same rolls at regular overwatch on the default setting. You can add bonus accuracy through XComGameCore.ini.

Does Smart Overwatch still multiply the hit chance by 0.7 like normal overwatch?

Use the mod, overwatch ignores concealment

@NatePony:

No, it has the same rules as regular overwatch.

Does Smart Overwatch trigger while concealed?

@=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil:

The aim bonus only applies to the smart overwatch.

Does the overwatch aim bonus only apply to smart overwatch? I kinda like the idea of having your aim focused, so getting a slight buff to accuracy, plus, with the overwatch ignores concealment mod, this is brilliant if I only want to protect certain spots and not break stealth

Bug? I've got a soldier with smart overwatch rc but the cone is not visible. Specialist from LWPP, normal weapons. Still works, just not a visible cone.

Really enjoying the mod and look forward to a no-normal overwatch version. As a thought on that note, perhaps a second form of smart overwatch that's a full circle or semicircle but not limited range for those 'surrounded' situations.

I think Smart Overwatch can be useful when attacking. But Standand Overwatch still be useful when defending or being surrounded. I highly recommend you to keep them both. Thanks for create a super immersive mod.

@Isms Ok great!

@Gerishnakov:

I can work on that. I have an idea.

Any way to get this to play nice with the Bestiary mod? When you view the Bestiary, each entry has multiple instances of 'Smart Overwatch' attributed to them.
