[ REQ ] Motion Scaner

Will it be included in final game? I'd like to see one after good improvements

Such gadgets have been discussed previously, and I believe they will be included.

Great It's hard to track every thread so sorry if I missed something.

Tell me about it! Besides, I don't think motion scanners have been talked over at length on the new forums.

Sathra appears to be confident they're in, and since he knew the now-defunct Xenonauts.com discussion board like his own back pocket, I'm willing to take his word for it.

There were definitely discussions over it.

I distinctly remember that Chris was in favour and that he was thinking about having contacts displayed on the actual battlefield somehow rather than on a separate screen as per the original.

Must dig out my Aliens motion tracker sound effect for when I am using that.

The idea for the motion tracker is that a soldier has to end the turn with it equipped in one hand (it costs quite a lot of AP to equip) and then the following turn it'll place an overlay on the normal display highlighting areas of movement within the range of the scanner.

We do want to implement it. It's still a way away though.

Good idea.

Sounds good, nice high AP cost for equipping as well to show how fiddly they are to set up and use.
