[WotC] Shield Defence

Description
This is a WotC update of Better Shieldwall by -bg-, with some extra features for Claus and Musashi's Ballistic Shields.

Features
Ever found it odd that the huge energy barrier generated by the W.A.R Suit grants high cover to allies, but does nothing to protect the soldier that's actually inside it?

This mod allows W.A.R Suit users to benefit from their own high cover when they use the Shieldwall ability.

If you have Ballistic Shields, shield users will now benefit from their own low cover.

This mod is highly configurable. You can disable any of its features in the .ini file and add simulated cover to any ability you want.

Limitations
Units benefiting from this mod's simulated cover effect technically still count as flanked, which means abilities that proc on flanked units will still activate.

Credits
-bg- for the original Better Shieldwall for vanilla X2.

Be careful not to run both mods at the same time though, or you might get a double defence bonus.

They both take effect. I did make a mod after this one which overhauls the Ballistic Shields too, which may be of interest: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2310533632

when used with Ballistic Shields- does using Shieldwall with a shield still incur the -20 penalty to defense, or does the "full cover" effect take precedence?

Shield Rework will disable Shield Defence's changes to Ballistic Shields, as it includes its own. It should work automatically.

Nevermind. There is a compatibility folder in your Rework mod specifically for this. However I don't know if it will automatically do it or do I have to cut-paste something?

Will this work with [WotC] Shield Rework? That mod also provides permanent low cover to units equipped with a shield.
Lago  [author] 10 Jul, 2020 @ 10:59am 
It does.

my unit doesnt show low cover when theyre out in the open? does the effect still apply?

Thanks for the clarification Lago, appreciate it, and thank you for the mod.

I suspect if you used them together the soldier would gain this mod's fake high cover effect when they activate the shielding ability, then lose it if they move.
If you're using Powered Armour Rebalance and just want this for Ballistic Shields, I'd recommend removing HighCoverGenerator (the WAR suit ability Powered Armour Rebalance edits) from this mod's config file.
