[WOTC] Advent Medic

A self-contained mod that adds an Advent Medic to the Advent forces. The Advent Medic focuses on supporting wounded Advent troops, either trying to heal them or provide cover.

-- Stats --

There are three tiers of Advent Medics, which have the same stats as the regular Advent Troopers - but they have slight mobility boost to help them get near allies. They carry the Advent Priest's gun, which does a bit less damage than the standard trooper rifle.

Tier 1: 2 Medikits, 1 Smoke Grenade
Tier 2: 3 Medikits, 1 Smoke Grenade
Tier 3: 3 Nanomedikits, 1 Advanced Smoke Grenade

There is a chance for medics to drop Smoke Grenades or Medikits along with their usual Advent trooper loot. Level of the loot depends on the tier of the medic.

-- AI --

The Advent Medic will try to stick near visible allies, moving to heal them if they have less than 60% health. They score the best healing target based on the damage the ally has sustained and also if they can get near them safely. If they can't get near a wounded ally, they'll try to move closer to teammates, provide overwatch or fall back.

Medics will also try to get near and recover any panicking, stunned or unconscious allies. Recovering an ally uses a turn and the recovered ally will be disorientated.

If the target is too far away, the medic will dash towards them to cover ground more effectively.

Medics that carry smoke grenades will use them to either cover a group of allies, or help out any individuals that are being overwatched, suppressed, marked or heavily wounded. They'll favour allies that have yet to move, especially if they are being suppressed or overwatched.

If the medic can't see any allies, they'll hunt for enemies like regular troopers.

If you are using my Advent Medikit mod, please unsubscribe from it before subscribing to this one.

-- Compatibility --

The Advent Medic uses its own set of AI behaviours, so should be compatible with most mods. I've tested with A Better Advent, and the medic works fine.

-- Thanks --

Special thanks to ADVENT Avenger, Avataristche and shadow79 for their help & advice, and thanks to everyone who's provided feedback - much appreciated!

The new AI behaviors have been created from the guidance of DerBK and LeaderEnemyBoss, thanks to them both!

Also thanks to victorlapin, Erazil, Baka3310, zxc2008, grummelnic, [Bot] NewBie and pabloaram2011 for the different localizations! (See discussions for different languages and how to implement)
