Title: Unconscious
Post by: Zharik1999 on May 12, 2012, 09:58:22 pm

Hello, I have one question. In Battlescape when I don't kill aliens but they fell unconscious shall I get pop out messages? I ask because one time when I did enought stun damage to the alien instead of seeing it falling on the ground without scream I got a message like "Sectoid Soldier fell unconscious".

No, there are no popup messages for going unconscious when player acts. These messages only in "hidden movement" screens.

So that accident was just a bug or something? :)

In the original you don't get a popup message. In openxcom you will get a message when a unit falls unconscious even during battle, I didn't add this on purpose, it's just happes to use the same function that gives the popup message. I'll have to add checks to have it behave differently during battle versus at end of turn.

So, we will always have such massages when aliens fall unconscious? That seems to be really comfortable :)

As far as I remember the original, the only way to differentiate between alien falling unconscious or not was the scream. If the alien screamed, it was dead. Admittedly, it has been a while.

Yes, we were able to know when they panic or go berserk.
