Shock Ammo

Description
Custom utility item:
  • Adds an independent ability which doesn't affect equipped guns or is affected by them
  • 100% chance to stun 1 enemy action point
  • 50% chance to disable weapon
  • 2 turn cooldown
  • Available for purchase in engineering at start of campaign

Item stats can be modified in:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\1146224334\Config\XComShockAmmo.ini

Compatibility
This mod works with the War of the Chosen expansion.

Known Issues
When the Shock Ammo ability is activated no sound or animation will play. I don't know how to add vanilla animations/sounds of my choosing to custom abilities.

Extra Comments
This mod is intended to add a play-style. For players who prefer more defensive play or want to slow down enemies when they can't be killed fast enough. (Alpha striking and beta striking constantly can be a little too tense at times making this game far less enjoyable)

Quick question, if the enemy unit is inmune to effects, does that mean there is no stun? Either that is true or I encountered a bug, because a sectoid from ABA just wont get stunned.

They lose one ap on the next turn.

by 100% chance to stun 1 enemy action point do you mean stun for 1 turn or that they lose one ap on the next turn.

Awesome mod. I wanted to simulate the fact that when someone got shot they get momentarly shocked. I tweaked the stun to 2 and the stun chance to 50. Therefore, sometimes when someone gets shot they can still shot back bot other times the shot shock momentarly stuns them. However, I wanted to use it as standard ammo but the AP cost I can't remove. That is all I am missing to have the effects that I am seeking. Please advice.

I could make another version of this mod compatible with the Ammo/Vest slots mod.

I intentionally changed this item from ammo type to a standard utility which already allows another ammo utility item to be equipped on the same soldier (without needing any ammo slot mods).

Would this mod alone still be enough for what you need?

Can you have this show up in the AMMO slot with the Ammo/Vest Slots mod? As it is right now, you can only equip this Shock Ammo in the regular utility slot. I'd like for this to go into the AMMO slot.

Let me know, thanks!

This ability ends our turn.

Cool, kind of like a taser. Would be neat to have one.

quick Q - does it end your turn or cost 1 AP to use?
