[WOTC] Scouting Protocol

Kuvaus
Adds Scouting Protocol ability to GREMLINs. It will send the GREMLIN to scout the target area, revealing fog of war and enemy positions until the end of your turn, and then returning to the unit.

The purpose of Scouting Protocol is to provide safe scouting during the early game, without having to rely on Concealment.

TACTICAL INFORMATION
  • Does not break concealment or alert enemies in any way.
  • Unlike Scanning Protocol, Scouting Protocol does not reveal hidden Faceless or burrowed Chryssalids.
  • Similar to XCOM operatives, GREMLIN's vision will not go through cover.
  • Enemies spotted by the GREMLIN cannot be targeted with Squadsight.

CONFIGURATION

By default, Scouting Protocol:
  • Costs one action and does not end turn.
  • Has no cooldown.
  • Has infinite charges.
  • Attached to all weapons with the "gremlin" category.

All of this, as well as ability cast range and reveal radius can be configured in:
..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1254143639\Config\XComScoutingProtocolWOTC.ini

For example, you can make Scouting Protocol a free action, but give it a 1-2 turn cooldown. Or give yourself only a couple of charges per mission.

Giving Scouting Protocol a huge reveal radius does not really work due to cover blocking vision.

COMPATIBILITY

Requires War of the Chosen. Legacy version of the mod is here.

Scouting Protocol should be compatible with mod-added GREMLINs, as long as they have the same weapon category. If not, more weapon categories can be added in config.

When I first used this skill, I laughed for a long time because I noticed that even the lowest half-cover would block it.

Oh, let's imagine an gremlin that sneaks, sneaks...

Well, by staying close to the ground, it was perfect for extracting a soil sample rather than spying on the enemy.

My game crash when using this skill on tech specialist.

Nice mod but it seems to break the optional target preview HUD. No target appears despite the fact that my units have a good sight over multiple ennemies. If I disable this mod everything is fine again.

Using it along LWOTC but no other mods affecting gremlins.

Très utile ce mod, merci Iridar.

Shen's Gremlin did have the ability too. I have no idea how these all work, but I figured I'd mention the issue in case they were related. It was super easy to deal with regardless since the DLC is so short. I'm already back to Scouting ahead :0)

This mod just adds an ability to gremlin, I don't even remember if it affects Shen's gremlin. Most likely the issue isn't connected.

Well, in my iteration, Shen got no prompts to activate the Spark, despite being in the proper position. I also noticed in an old Reddit thread from 6 years ago, someone said "I find the problem - when you change the original Shen's gremlin with another one..." Which reminded me that I was using a GREMLIN mod (this one).

Granted, could have just been a native game bug. That said, unchecking this and reloading a pre-mission save appeared to resolve it one way or the other.

I find it hard to believe. What exactly becomes broken?
MarsToSirius 15.8.2022 klo 6.33 
Heads up, this (and probably all similar GREMLIN mods) appears to break Lily's interactions in the Shen's Last Gift DLC. Had to uncheck it and reload a pre-mission save from the Avenger.

Love the mod though, looking forward to getting back to it after :0)

This is neat. I dig it because it basically fits a character from the Rainbow Six Siege universe, "Lion". Lion uses a drone that scans for enemy movement.

I've been cobbling together various Siege operators (with some creative liberties! :P ) in my XCOM campaign, and have been having fun emphasizing what's iconic about them. This, and various other mods are making it quite a satisfying experience =) I appreciate how customizable this is. Cheers.
