Just saw some aliens do something really cool.

Exited the Charlie onto a Small Scout UFO farm map, right beside the brickside building. Saw one alien as soon as I exited, popped him, and thought I was clean, until a couple started blasting the wall out beside me to get a line of fire. Loving how the AI's been behaving. Props to the devs on 19.6.

I think that's because they can see you through the walls...

[EchoFourDelta]

Awwwww, I thought maybe they "heard" my guys running around and shooting and were trying to get to them in the most direct/unexpected way possible.

You might be right, but...I think it's because the AI is cheating

It's nice when people give us more credit than we deserve The issue isn't that aliens are seeing through walls, it's that they actually can't see the walls at all in some circumstances....hence trying to shoot "through" them as they're not even aware that they exist. It's a priority bugfix but it's a big job because the LOS code is quite complex at this stage.

I can only imagine how complex that code is, Chris. Thanks for fixing it for us.
