Is there a way to disable reaction fire for a soldier or the whole squad for a mission or permanently? Draining the timeunits is quite tedious.

Small heads up, I reverted recent change of `personalLight` for aliens as it had some minor glitches and break completely XPZ.
Now I added as replacement `personalLightHostile` and `personalLightNeutral` for permanent light on aliens or civilians.

At least the original personal light did. I noticed this in XCF with tanks for example. They have a bright personal light, making it impossible to use them in night-time missions when the enemies have weapons that could hurt them (would attract all the enemy fire) unless you disable it at the start of every mission. I dread those who don't know of this feature and the special hotkey to disable it (no way to know it otherwise).

In OXCE 7.11.2 I added script hook that alow changing how vapor particles moves (speed + acceleration) that allow lot more variability
in types of weapon attacks.
As hack you can even fake additional "hit" effects moving some particles closer to end of trajectory and spreed them from that point.
(rifle do something like this in example video)

Is it possible for me to modify what the debug cheats do? like I want it to give me $1m not $999m or instead of every item/creature only specific ones?

Currently not possible.

(but I thought about it already, it is also impractical for me to receive all items, especially because most mods have enforced storage limits and I am forced to sell them immediately)
