Fire damage while walking

[Vangrimar1]

It is strange that units do not receive fire damage when they walk on it in the current turn. Can this be fixed?

[Meridian]

Can this be fixed?

No, it's working as intended, nothing to fix.

Can this be changed?

Yes, it is possible to implement such a feature.

[The Martian]

Yes, it is possible to implement such a feature.

If such a feature is added please allow both versions of fire damage to be used.

Perhaps on a unit armor variable?

This would allow some units to be much more susceptible to fire effects adding more variety to both X-Com and alien unit types.

[Meridian]

I'm not planning to add this feature.

[The Martian]

If you ever do I can see walls of fire becoming a standard defencive strategy versus aggressive melee aliens.

[Meridian]

Fire can already do that today.
AI greatly dislikes pathing through fire.

[The Martian]

Will the Units: isLeeroyJenkins: variable override a unit's aversion to pathing through fire and take the shortest route?

The UFOpaedia description mentions it "ignore dangerous tiles (grenades? pfff!)" so I'm guessing that fire counts as a dangerous tile.
