Night vision device?
« on: January 13, 2021, 10:49:31 am »
Is it possible to implement a night vision device? For example, after researching a certain technology, an existing armor gets a new subtype.

The bio-exo suit is certainly good for night operations, but it's mostly designed against monsters. There is no good alternative against humans. Especially in the early/mid game

i think thats intended.
as most enemies see a lot less at night (some don't care much at all), it might be a bit OP to abuse night missions like that then...

AFAIK it's not possible.

EDIT: To clarify, I was referring to a separate device. As for a new armour with better NV - sure, there is already a wide selection available.

Council's XCOM bureaucracy at its finest, commander is the only person in XCOM that is allowed to use nightvision googles. Rest of the plebians need to rely on in-build night vision devices in advanced armours, or by spending half of the mission bombarding the map with flares.

There is script hook `visibilityUnit` that can alter visibility of unit, this mean it could react to items (in hands directly or in inventory indirectly).

I think he meant something like Armored Vest/Shield. Same item, different stats.
