Hello, is there an easy way to add a tag to a newly created character so that character is immortal like the commander? I downloaded this mod so I could try and replicate what you did here. Unfortunately I cant access dll files. Im assuming that is where you coded it?
Have been looking for something that makes my commander mortal, just like the other pilots. But haven't found anything. My work around is to not use the commander in battles (thus he can't take advantage of his immortality).
Thanks BTNomad, this would be awesome! This game is almost brilliant ...almost. I just realised, when it says DEAD! in the tooltip during a battle, it turns out the pilot isn't always dead. On the debrief screen, they are sometimes just with maximum injuries. It would be great to know, are they REALLY dead, or just incapacitated. On my current play through, my commander's mech was cored. He had maximum injuries and it said on the tactical screen DEAD! But, because the commander's immortal, I don't know if he was really killed or just badly wounded. If he's REALLY killed, my ironman play through should end (game over). The other thing that irks me a bit, is that after being driven away from a battle by superior numbers and escaping to my drop ship with just one mechwarrior, I get to choose my salvage. Like, the enemy that just dominated me are not interested in taking it! If you run away, there's no way you should get salvage. This game doesn't need a mod that changes everything and adds content, it just needs a few small common sense/believability tweaks. Lad09's mods are great in this regard, particularly his panic system and ammo cookoffs.
This isn't rolled until the end of the mission. It might be possible to finalize death during combat, but then you would need to carry it over to the screen and a bunch of other stuff would need to be skipped.
my ironman play through should end (game over)
No problem. I can add that in, but only if you wait to see if he is really dead at the contract screen. The system isn't designed to flag this during combat. Once again, I might be able to carry the flag over and just do a mission failure and then ironman end. That will take some time.
I get to choose my salvage
There are a lot of mods that deal with salvage, one might be interfering, normally on mission failure you don't get to pick salvage. Unless it was an optional objective, and you ran after completing the primary objective. Then this is mission success, and you get salvage.
