Target acquired
« on: June 21, 2013, 03:06:41 pm »
Just played a night mission and i remember a old issue that always drove me up the wall, Its dark, my agent has spotted the enemy, i have a RED BOX telling me he exists yet i still spend 5 mins moving block by block with my mouse trying to target the bugger , If i press the RED ENEMY BUTTON, can we Flash his location for 2 secs so i can move my mouse to that location?

Now i am not trying to cheat so do just make the target shown or anything i just want to end the pointless searching you need to do in the Dark, maybe hover the target icon there for a second or two..

...If you click the red box the enemy will always be in the exact center of your screen?

there was actually a small bug to do with that. the aliens shouldn't be showing up in "too dark" areas anymore

Warboy maybe add red arrow similar to used by selecting solders to mark visible enemies?
