[v17.91 - Ground Combat/Base] Reaction Fire under Hidden Movement

[Eraser_real]

Hi guys,

In my last ground mission there occured a problem with the reaction fire.

During the hidden movement an Alien passes by from left to right and you see the "reaction fire" symbol overlapping the hidden movement screen.

At the end of the hidden movement turn, there are usually one or two soldiers wounded.

1. You are not able to see the reaction fire

2. You are not able to see the alien pass by

I tried to attach the savegame, but there is a problem with your forum <-> fileattachments - only Error 404 appears.

You can find the savegame here -> http://www.xup.in/dl,13683012/2013-03-28_22.23.42.zip/

Load the savegame and end the turn - happens with a chance of 100%.

Regards

Also seen this a few times.

It is possible to force a repro of this by fiddling with the maps. The most commonly used farm map (small_roadjunction) has an alien spawn point that's quite near the dropship (out the exit, on the road to the left of the gap in the hedgerow). If you clear out most of the other spawn points from the map, you can set up a shooting gallery of soliders just off the dropship and guarantee that an alien will be present to walk into the massed reaction shots.

Thank you for the save file!

@Max: the attached save file has the exact same situation, without editing spawn points - farm map with alien spawn left.
