Now i am working on medical equipment and cloning i wish to build a item that can directly affect stats of a unit and have a Time frame attached to it. This would be interesting for both Xcom and Aliens to play with.
Looking at the rulesets "https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Ruleset_Reference_(OpenXcom)" it appears i can only influence a few things, and only up to max... I want to go over this and in some cases have it wear off in X amount of turns. Another intereting feature would be to add a Medical SKILL and allow chance of overdoes or other negative affects based of units skill set.
This will give Warboys Medical room some benefit and allow me to move some Medics into the Tactical game as a different unit type.
Any chance we can have this feature?

Also https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Ruleset_Reference_(OpenXcom) (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Ruleset_Reference_%28OpenXcom%29) works
Also would like to bring engineers into battle for field repairs of armoured units and placement ( spawning) of defensive turrets.... ALso Mechanical skill would be helpful new stat.I added crews dedicated :
- to heal (using your civilian medi-kit)
- to bring heavy ammunition => I would prefer your engineer

-able to use medical items on aliens
-self heal with medical items
-negative damage handling (adds health instead of take it... currently weapons with 0< dam do nothing or cause a crash depending on item)

- battle drug
- flashbang grenade (real ones)
- anti armor weapons, which only decrease armor, quiclky, or slowly over the time.
etc.

Code: [Select]
items:
- type: STR_BOTTLE_BEER
addstrength: 10
addbravery: 40
addenenergy: 5
addpsistrength: -10
addaccuracy: -10
addreaction: -10
so how is that applied?addbravery: [40,5,1] = add 40 bravery for 5 turns and reduce one from the clip size 1
but its a combined application - all add* are done at the same time so it does not work like a medikit

Falko: Yes, i want Battle drugs :D
Edited:
Falkos example shows what i am thinking about :P The beer bottle example is self administered, would need to apply this like a medi-kit would.
still need:
Access to other stats
2 new Skill sets and a way to work off them when item is used
Negative effect when skill-set fails
Effect Duration
way to add doctors in game to do research and be transferred be added to craft for duty
Way to transfer engineer to battle field role
Also, can Armour be repaired in the same way as above?

Excellent, so it looks like we can already access most of the data i need :Pwhat ? i made just stuff up there as an example in trying to understand your goal in this
Post by: luke83 on August 04, 2014, 09:21:39 pm
what ? i made just stuff up there as an example in trying to understand your goal in thisRIght, so i cant actually do that yet :P Yes that is what i need to get to :D
this should also open the doors for energy shields, weapons with recharge rates etc...

Then again #2, personally I don't like potions that much since you need to drink them all the time, which slows the action down and distracts from the general game flow.

Battles are so short in XCom, it seems to me like stims/drugs should be activated at the beginning and last the whole battle (with detrimental effect being handled as wounding the soldier at the end, maybe?)

And then you need to consider your stomach getting full of potions, so you don't have room to drink more (Aaah.. ADOM! Drinking a potion instead of being hungry!), and the complex alchemy of everything in your stomach! :P Or for stims, all that stuff in your blood can't be good either.

My thoughts exactly. It also allows to avoid the hellish complexity of status effects. But an option of "Potion of Morale Restoring" should be introduced.

Once PSI efficient you can even counter mind control with your own in OXC.....but panicked soldiers are off

+1, painkiller effect needs a buff....otherwise your PSI panicked soldiers are CONTINUOUSLY on their own, which is really really irritating.

Agree...need a medikit mod so...
