Title: [Solved] spawnUnit: prevents autoSurrender: live unit items recovery
Post by: The Martian on December 01, 2022, 01:45:55 pm

OpenXcom Extended 7.5.7 (v2022-03-07)

I've noticed that if in units: the alien makes use of spawnUnit: and also has been setup to auto-surrender no live alien items are recovered in mission end loot screen if that alien auto-surrenders.

At least that appeared to be the case when I tested it in using the "New Battle" feature from the main menu.

Code: [Select]

    spawnUnit: STR_UNIT_NAME
    capturable: true
    canSurrender: true
    autoSurrender: true

That's a feature.
Units with spawnUnit (i.e. zombies) can NEVER be killed, stunned, captured, surrendered or anything like that.

Depending on the use case, it's either prevented/ignored/impossible; or should it still happen, the zombie will be converted into its spawnUnit instead.

In that case don't worry about it.

I'm glad to hear it is working as intended.
