About this mod

Intelligent ai controlled squadmate

Permissions and credits

THIS IS FOR WAR OF THE CHOSEN ONLY


This is an advanced ai controlled chryssalid soldier that you can build.
He talks in text bubbles above his head and comments about things... 
He has a shoulder mounted rocket launcher and fully automatic autocannon... 
He can complete most mission types by himself without the players assistance.



-KNOWN MOD INCOMPATIBILITIES-
-Timer Tweaks  (wibbles will ai will be messed up concerning objectives)
-Altering wibbles mobility and strength stats through any stat changing mods will break wibbles ai.






HOW TO USE/BUILD THEM
Wibbles is a barracks soldier that can level up and gain new abilities.
Buy them in the avenger under the items tab... They then will be available in the barracks selection.
You can also buy an item that will transport a wibbles onto the battlefield out of your barracks without taking up a soldier slot... 
Equip hats and helmets onto them via secondary item slot on their loadouts... You can also give them a pose at the end of missions for photobooth.


EXAMPLES HOW HIS AI BEHAVES AND HOW USEFUL HE IS
-Wibbles will try his best to stay hidden and not attack enemies until the player is ready to do so at the start of the missions.
-He will mostly stay beside the players forces and try his best not to advance forwards into the fow unless he is concealed or using his cloaking ability.
-He has 2 years worth of coding done to his ai to give him a sort of 3d representation in his mind of where pods are likely to be on the map from calculating past engagements and comparing it to the standard spacing between pods and common sense.. Hes actually pretty damned careful about not screwing things up... Of course there are some limitations with the games engine.. Xcom Ai was never meant to operate this way.
-If the player is stationary for a while with his troops then wibbles will engage a scouting mode in his ai where he will cloak and then move forward to scout.. During this time if he spots a small pod of enemies he thinks he can take down by himself he will do so only after warning the player ahead of time hes thinking about engaging them. If not then he will standby and watch enemies until the player engages first and he will then follow up with his own attacks.
-Wibbles is smart... But there are occasions that he can act questionably stupid.. It happens. But its also part of the fun.
-Wibbles can complete all guerrilla ops,supply raids and plating x4 missions at alien facilities by themselves without player assistance... Assuming your wibbles team doesnt get killed in the process. Sit back, relax and drop a full squad of wibbles and watch them work!


BUGS THAT ARE IN THE MOD
-In zip mode wibbles will not face the targets he will shoot projectiles at. 

-Wibbles will be unable to follow your soldiers into a chosen stronghold.. He will be unable to enter the final portal area and will be sent back to the avenger as a result.. Do not attempt to bring wibbles into chosen fight with beacon either! bugs may occur!

-Do not bring him on the lost and abandoned mission tutorial.. You will not be able to evacuate at the end since it will not count him as a soldier.

-Bringing nothing but wibbles on missions will cause the game to bug out during the photobooth... This following mod fixes that.

IMPROVING THE MOD
Im interested in watching people play with my mod..  Just for inspiration and improving his ai.
I base his ai mostly off my own tactics so its nice to watch him try to adapt to someone elses playstyle. Send me a link if you stream or make videos with him! Id like to watch and see if i can improve upon him in additional ways!





SPECIAL THANKS
