Title: [Suggestion] Possibility to give enemy units personal light
Post by: clownagent on March 04, 2017, 11:00:38 am
There is a ruleset command to give player armors a personal light. For example:
Code: [Select]
    personalLight: 5

I would like to have the option to give a few enemy units also a personal light. It would make some night missions less annoying and would make it possible to make enemy search units with strong light to illuminate large areas. For example a enemy drone with a strong search light to illuminate the player units.

you can add items that glow in darkness to unit.

Yes, but I need both hands for weapons and I think glowing items work only when they are in hand.

When I start working on flashlight (in 3.8, it was 3.7 but I want faster release and I pushed this to next version) I could add something that could add lights for aliens too.
