nvm, i don't know why i thought it would do that ._.

With PBNE you get rookies and other classes that have terrible aim, on mid range classes, this could be a good attachment to keep them relevant, also on Cast classes that don't shoot much but are on several turn cool downs for their Powers. Snipers too but I tend to roll with snipers with good aim already so rarely need this. Unless, I combine with dead-eye or something next turn.

my main motivation (which is inspired by the lwotc motivation) for steady weapon is for sniper with death from above, that can't take a shot with only one action, so they use this action re-steady, and keep a constant aim and crit bonus as long as they can get kills.
But of course, you are free to play with it and find other applications for this.

Ok. Thanks. I'll delete those lines. I'm experimenting with the cool downs.

The last 3 lines are redundant, since these are the attachments, not the abilities.
You still need a line per ability, since these are 3 separate abilities.
So the first 3 lines you wrote at the start are correct and should work.
Cooldown seems a bit excessive, but hey, that's your boat :)
Good job on figuring it out :)

+Abilities = (AbilityName=AbiziSteadyWeaponM1, Cooldown=2, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)
+Abilities = (AbilityName=AbiziSteadyWeaponM2, Cooldown=3, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)
+Abilities = (AbilityName=AbiziSteadyWeaponM3, Cooldown=4, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)
+Abilities = (AbilityName=MissDamageUpgrade_Bsc, Cooldown=2, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)
+Abilities = (AbilityName=MissDamageUpgrade_Adv, Cooldown=3, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)
+Abilities = (AbilityName=MissDamageUpgrade_Sup, Cooldown=4, APCost=1, EndsTurn=false)

That is what I did in Ability Editor and it seems to work ( I don't normally use Steady weapon ever because the AP is too high). It is, at least, Blue in game. I chose different cool downs per tier for balance but I don't know if it works like that. Question: if I just wanted a global change, would I just use the Template name and not the tiers?

Unfortunately, it appears that I did not make it configurable. So your choices are either: to wait for an update in which I will make those configurable, or use something like Ability Editor mod by Boundir that allows you to change such parameters with configs.

What do I do if I want to change the AP cost of Steady Weapon?

Yes, I just saw your post on Discord. I'm sorry, I don't know what this is about. Might be Steam being wonky, maybe you should try again a bit later.

ah, I see. thanks for the heads up, steam don't want me to download that mod for some reason tho.

@Sthreep I'm sorry, I don't think I made this exposed to config. However, it shouldn't be too hard to achieve this change by using Boundir's Ability Editor mod.

can I make it so that the steady aim action doesn't end the turn?

@lordabizi Got it. That would have helped. ;) Just found a post from the WIO author which described what and where.

I don't have one from the top of my head. If you look hard enough at the configs, you'll find a config list that tells which weapon attachments WIO should disable, and which should be added to the basic/advanced/superior lists. That's the thing you should edit.

Re: "If you edited WIO to keep the base game attachments," I use WIO, but hate the attachments it uses, and wanted to try this mod. Is there a link or description somewhere on what needs to be edited in WIO to remove the WIO attachments?

aw, thank you for that.

what a gem

yeah, so to undo the changes to the scope you need to comment/delete the first three lines about scope (aimbonus, getbonusamountfn, and addhitchancemodifierfn).

oh it looks like i also have to uncomment the
+Edit_X2WeaponUpgradeTemplate = (T = "AimUpgrade_Bsc", P = "AimBonus", V = "0");
part for it to show up

it looks like uncommenting the abizidummytemplate lines on the scopes and then going to the localization and placing 'Scope provides +<Ability:SCOPEAIMINCREASE/>% Aim bonus' doesn't work as either basic, advanced and superior scope still provides 0 aim upgrades
i know they'd still work based on the configuration description but it bugs me a bit

Well, in my previous mod someone SPECIFICALLY asked for TFTD version, so I thought I'd be safe :P

"No TFTD versions"

lol

Read the mod description :)

Another mod! Vanilla when...
