But you do not need change any thing in OXCE, is not enabled by default but code still allow to enable it by scripts.

What lines do I need to edit for https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/blob/oxce-plus/src/Battlescape/TileEngine.cpp#L2012   ?

It was unfortunately never mentioned and I cant write c++ so I dont know where to look.

I am seeing this at line 2012

int reactionChance = BA_HIT != originalAction.type ? 100 : 0;

What should I edit now?

After building, I got this file OpenXcom.2010.vcxproj successfully built, where is the .exe? What should I do with this newly built file?

Have you ever built anything?

If not, nothing I say will help you.
If yes, you should not need our help.

This line set default behavior that script will read and change, you do not need change this source code, only add mod that will have script like:
Code: [Select]
extended:
  scripts:
    reactionUnitAction:
      - offset: -10
        code: |
          if eq battle_action battle_action_hit;
            set reaction_chance 100;
          end;
          return reaction_chance;

By the way which hand does the game prioritise when making a reaction shot? Or is it random?

Good question, will check tomorrow, see if Meridian answers this as fast as he normally does. I swear that he must have somehow memorized the codebase. 8)

Game prefers:
1. melee weapons
2. if not found, melee attack of ranged weapons (gunbutt)
3. if not found, ranged weapons with snapshot

For AI, weapon with quickest  snapshot; for xcom main (=last used) weapon.

Btw. I've added some experimental support for reactions to melee attacks.

Configurable via global switch

Code: [Select]
constants:
  extendedMeleeReactions: 2     # default 0

0 = vanilla, cannot react to melee attacks
1 = can react to melee attacks, if attacked from the front... same effect as Yankes' script above
2 = can react to melee attacks, if attacked from any side

PS: The scripts can change the % chance to perform a melee reaction in all 3 cases. But only with option "2" the reaction from any side can be triggered, that's not scriptable (yet).

PPS: turn on only if you're 120% sure you want it

Will units also react to movement in tiles other than the one directly in front of them?

No, and that wouldn't make sense anyway.
