I'll be isolating the scripts I'm using in the mods I've made. Feel free to use or edit them as you wish, you don't need any permissions but a credit or mention is nice!, any feedback is appreciated as well

The idea for the flare gun is to spawn a unit (I use "invisible" spritesheets for the floater as well as "invisible" sprites for the items in my mods) at the point of impact and have it be equipped with flares and an optional smoke effect, upon death it will drop the primed flare in its inventory, the primed flare lasts for a few turns before disapearing.
Things I'd like to improve are:
- Immediate flare deployment (not having to wait until the flare updates by doing an action)
- Knowing the best faction to spawn (Civilians for example if they die you lose points, Enemies would mean they get vision, Xcom means you can control them and they would substract points for dying as well as it just feels weird... + getting  extra vision which is unfair)
- Readability

Things that are out of the scope of my skills and the scripting language at the moment:
- Have the flares actually start at the highest point of the sky (same X,Z coordinates, just the max Y for that map) and descend 1 tile per turn until they reach the ground  (more of a visual novelty if anything, but it would make them also behave differently from regular throwable electro-flares)

This item is basically only able to be equipped in your backpack and when present will reduce damage under the condition the distance between your attacker is no more than 4, frontal attacks receive the full bonus while other sides have a lesser effect (50% for front, 33% for sides, 25% for back or something like that) Additionally any damage that isn't physical (Plasma, Laser, Smoke) is ignored, this takes inspiration from the Damage reduction items found in the X-Com Files, and actually uses some of the code to achieve the "assigning" part since otherwise you'd need to keep checking the unit's inventory

The UAV is pretty simple, you have a console that will spawn a UAV and this UAV has two items on each hand: A holotargetter/laser designator and a Self-destruct button
Upon being holo-targetted (you hit the enemy with your laser) its distance is displayed everytime you shoot at him and depending on your action you get a different bonus:
- Aimed Shots: 20% damage buff, always
- Snap Shot: 50% chance to get your TU's refunded for that shot
- Auto-Shots: No change

Things I'd like to improve:
- Make sure it always works, this one has been particularly tricky to debug, it should be working now for the most part
- Get an accuracy buff only for aimed shots rather than than a damage bonus
- Take away unit's camouflage while laser designated when I learn how visibility works
- Still learning how to add special weapons, but I'd add a motion scanner on the special items option
Things outside the scope of my skills and scripting engine that'd be cool:
- Actually use it as a laser designator for air-burst explosives (if unit is at 14 tiles, you can shoot a missile that could explode right over the unit at that exact distance or much closer to it rather than risk a full miss)
