Sensor Mode for Proximity Grenade
« on: April 25, 2015, 12:38:01 am »
Ability to activate Proximity Grenade in sensor mode only.

In this mode grenade wont explode when alien enter/pass in 1-metter detection radius but simple report it to player.

Oh, this sounds like a really nice addition.

Well thought up!

You can actually mod "smoke proxies" if you want. On explosion, the smoke will be visible to you, the player, without harming aliens or civilians in range.

Hey, they could even have a custom smoke animation! Nice idea, yrizoud! :)

Orange "marker" smoke? That could be cool!

Or better, fatal wounds causing random blood poodles to spawn during unit movements. Mix with alien various blood colors, and you can track where the surviving muton crawled to :)
