UpStream Spacebeast #472
Conversation
Adds all of the soldier AI behavior and abilities. Still a work in progress to an extent, but mostly feature complete. Also fixes a few runtimes.
Small fix to appease the linter gods.
Cleans up a few unnecessary lines that were left over from testing.
Small update to standing sprites, so that they actually display the correct directional. Behavior fix for hopefully better pathing.

so what exactly is this PR waiting on to get merged? genuinely curious |
I am apprehensive about merging this yet, because Soldiers are currently acting as a test bed for what might be the next iteration of "regular" xeno enemies. Also there are still weird interactions with their acid blood to some objects, like flares shot into the sky. |

One thing GMs have observed is that the headbite skill requires a workaround to trigger with movielike crit: we have to sleep people to do it at present. Not sure the fix is to just let it headbite anyone in crit since that was particularly oppressive. Maybe in the later stages? Or even making it only an action a human player can take? In either case, I don't want to send you on a goose chase here, so definitely reach out if you'd like to get a conversation started about this and discuss options. That's the only feedback I've seen from the GMs. Verbs is of the opinion it's fine as-is. Apologies for the lack of input so far -- I know that's frustrating. |
