ADVENT Suppression Ability

Description
Allows the ADVENT Trooper, ADVENT Captain and ADVENT Shieldbearer to Suppression Fire (ability only).

The ability is tied to their individual weapons so if you modded the game so XCOM can use ADVENT weapons directly, the ability will also follow to that soldier.

The Stun Lancer doesn't suppress. This isn't debatable.

-= SUPPRESSION ANIMATION FIX =-
This is a requirement, it's on the right panel. It allows the magnetic rifle to play an animation which is not present in the regular game (don't ask why).

-= SUPPRESSION SHOT LOS FIX =-
Includes a Line of Sight fix for both Long War and regular versions of Suppression where the ability wouldnt fire when the unit that is being suppressed moves out of visibility. Now the ability will always fire.

-= AI MODIFICATION =- *** NOT INCLUDED ***
This is optional. You can either mod the behavior in yourself or install my AI fix, found here:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=706121082
It inserts a line in the AI code right before the "should i shoot" check and tells the unit to check for good suppression fire targets.

-= OTHER SUPPRESSION MODS =-

Yes, there are other mods that are more complete or provide other benefits. This one is exclusively to allow ADVENT regulars to suppress, no other change is done. It also has the massive advantage of having NO configuration to be done. Subscribe, and done.

-= COMPATIBILITY =-

No overrides.

Adds "Suppression" ability to these weapon templates:
AdvTrooperM1_WPN
AdvTrooperM2_WPN
AdvTrooperM3_WPN
AdvCaptainM1_WPN
AdvCaptainM2_WPN
AdvCaptainM3_WPN
AdvShieldbearerM2_WPN
AdvShieldbearerM3_WPN

In addition, these LW Alien Pack templates are also added:
AdvSentryM1_WPN
AdvSentryM2_WPN
AdvSentryM3_WPN
AdvGunnerM1_WPN
AdvGunnerM2_WPN
AdvGunnerM3_WPN

All weapons here are already part of my Suppression Condition mod so no need to add them.

-= LW2 COMPATIBILITY =-

Not required with LW2.

It works with any weapons you add to the list. So yes.

Doesnthis work with the advent ascension mod? And other mods that add other aliens?

OK, thanks ADVENT Avenger. Don't think I'd know where to start :)

@Dragon32 This mod wont be changed in the foreseeable future. Feel free to take my code however and adapt it however you like.

Jeepers. Just tried Gatecrasher with this mod enabled (and A Better AI) and got my ass handed to me. Think having Suppressable Targeting Abilities didn't help: I couldn't throw grenades far enough to remove the suppression.

Any chance of adding the ability to customise which weapon templates get suppression? I'd remove it from Troopers' guns but keep the rest.
