Last time i tried to make a small unit it didn't attack because the attack "origin point" was below the floor. Maybe it's the same problem even though I don't understand why.
I also tried to set  isLeeroyJenkins to false, but it still just wanders around.

You need to make the brainsucker taller.

If a unit is only 3 voxels high, it's shoulders (=firing origin voxel) are at height 0... and when validating melee range, the LOF will hit the target tile's floor before it hits the unit on that tile... resulting in "no LOF"...
...or something like that... I didn't have the patience to trace all attempts to draw a line... in any case, the brainsucker cannot target the units with its attack.

With standHeight=6 I got massacred pretty badly

I see. Although 6 seems quite tall for the brainsucker.

It's not really a brainsucker though, since that can't be done right now. It's a squishy little chryssalid.
Anyway the question is solved.
