[Suggestion] Health Bar Over Soldiers' Heads
« on: September 11, 2023, 02:05:46 pm »
I'd like the option to have a compact health bar over soldiers' heads (possibly with an option to include TUs/TUs + energy/TUs + energy + mana) similarly to the newer XCOM games. This would help to identify the presence of soldiers as well as to give a more intuitive picture of the tactical situation at a glance.

For such requests, start with drawing a prototype respecting pixel size for original scale respecting pixel size. You will see you end up with a mess.

A better suggestion if probably an API request for the ability to draw sprite attachments to units, then you can make a mod that does this, or many other things.

this is on TODO list, there is even github PR with change like this but it need more work before it could be include to main repo.
