[V21 stable Steam - Ground Combat] Androns walking through half-walls

[Muskrat]

I'm sure this is known, but I couldn't find a recent discussion on it.

Androns just kinda...meld through half-walls. I'm sure this is due to there not being an animation for them hoping the wall, but I'd like to make some suggestions:

1) Andron's destroy the wall when they walk through it (maybe allow them to walk through full walls also?) They are basically a walking tank, after all.

2) Because Andron's are stiff and clunky, they can't actually hop over a wall. Make them need to walk around, similar to shield guy's (which I still disagree with).

I like #1 the best. Gives them a bit more fear factor...and maybe put a special red Andron in that says "Oh Yeah!" every time he busts a wall down?

It would make them work along the same lines as the Predator Assault Armor. They can't hop the walls either and just plow right through it.

I actually just did a landing ship mission where a Blue Andron DID walk through a full wall...so maybe this is already implemented? or at least partially?

[Gauddlike]

Androns have always been supposed to walk through cover and destroy it.

It was in the early design documents at least.

Are there any specific walls they don't break down or is it all of them?

[Muskrat]

I've always seen them meld through half-walls (the ones you can vault over).

Specifally walls in the UFO's, and walls in the "city" terror mission maps that I can recall.

So more like the T-1000 than the T-800 then.

Yeah, minus the liquidy bits...
