Builds & Ports / Re: OpenXcom for Android - new official thread

I don't think this has been reported ITT yet:

When I use a psi ability in the current version, the target select cursor changes from the psi cursor to the crosshair used for selecting a target to shoot with a weapon. On the PC version and on the Android build 2 updates behind the current one, the psi targetting cursor remains even after using a psionic ability. The crosshair that appears in the current build consumes 25 AP from the selected unit, and nothing else - not that I'm aware of, at least (it might still count towards stat growth but I doubt it). This forces me to click through the menu and reselect the psi ability, should I wish to use it again.

Thanks for making this port, it's great.

Only thing I miss is opening doors without needing to go through them. Preferably without needing to stay right in front of them too (from the diagonal would be nice)

About opening doors: I'm still two builds behind, but this is already possible. When a player-controlled unit with enough TUs is standing in range of a door and facing directly towards it, whether directly in front or diagonal, swipe towards the door as if you are trying to turn the seleted unit. In otherwords, if a unit is already facing a door, telling it to "turn" towards the door will cause the unit to open the door.

Very useful. However, as Syrion suggested earlier, a different method like longpress might be better, as the current method is easy to mess up. Maybe add an option that lets the user enable one or both methods?
