Moonie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Couldn't target alien in his space ship. Clicked gun got a green square but was able to target with greyed out target. Shot alien but then could not get out of target mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waju Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Does target mode still persist if you hit [Esc]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezryder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I had a similar occurrence. One of my snipers, when i moused over the alien (a grey) I only got the grey circle, not the target reticule. A grunt (M-16 burst suppression fodder trooper) got a targeting reticule when I moused over the same alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You can cancel firing mode by pressing ESC or clicking on the weapon icon again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekamme Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have experienced similar behaviour: - Stuck in firing mode, can be cancelled by clicking another soldier, then switching back to the original solder - Grenade: Right-click grenade icon to choose one, press the proper grenade (eg switch from flare to grenade - while the solder wasn't carrying a flare to begin with), should close the grenade choice window. It doesn't. I can throw the grenade though. - Seconded on the burst fire oddities. When ending a turn with a soldier selected with burst fire activated, the next round selecting another soldier often switches him to burst as well.

SSGGeezer Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 V 17.1 Stuck in MG mode when I switched to M-16 gunner. He could only fire a burst when I wanted him to throw a grenade. Could not get away from the MG burst symbol until I had M-16 gunner fire a burst. (which I could never do before but could after I equipped a machine gunner. Similar to Dekamme's experience.

SSGGeezer Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Press B. Ok, Why? DOes that clear the mode? And where did you find this info? Thanks Buzzles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ok, Why? DOes that clear the mode? And where did you find this info?Thanks Buzzles 'B' switches between fire modes in GroundCombat. It's in the options menu It'll let you get out of the issue with it being stuck in burst mode. You could have also swapped to a soldier that has a single shot weapon (rocket launcher, pistol, sniper) if you had one, as doing that also fixes the stuck-in-burst-mode issue.
