[v27.6 ground combat] Gun Drone resurrecting aliens

[SoftwareSimian]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. It may or may not be reproducible from the attached save.

Alien turn, wraith comes through door of building, reaction fire kills it dead. Then at the end of the turn the gun drone heals it back to life, ends turn with 33hp.

Even if this is a feature, there's at least a bug that the animation shows the wraith's weapons dropped on the ground and also in its hands. (Cosmetic only, when I killed it again there's only one gun and one corpse on the ground.)

Hmmm.... hard to say, belongs how hard the hit was. Sometimes (like for your Soldiers) you can survive such an hit and get healed. If it had 33 HP left and you make 34, then the Alien have a %-Chance to Survive. That could happen here.

But if it was an hard hit (like it have 33 HP left and you make 40 Damage), then it´s dead.

I've noticed this a few times in the latest iteration of the game and assumed it was a feature of the game (albeit an annoying one lol).

Thanks. Yeah, that's not meant to be happening. We'll get that fixed.
