[WOTC] Cautious Moving

Description
Would you want to scout the map without spending all your time trying to avoid alarms, while maximizing each AP? Okay with infusing just a tiny bit of IQ in your troops for this QoL?

Cautious Move is bound to the left mouse button: anytime a unit realizes it's about to cross a detection zone (including destructible tiles), it'll stop dead in its tracks.

Is this cheating? Well, no, since the unit is simply using its eyes every square. Avoid hours of save scumming misery which is what you do anyway!

It's not a foolproof method, however. Due to view angle discrepancies, there are times where you turn a corner and the enemy sees you first. This is intentional. So you still gotta watch your step, somewhat.

Note that your unit won't regard stealth benefits from Peek From Concealment or Crouch Lower, so you will have to move normally to utilize those benefits.

Can confirm, doesn't work with the Redux as mentioned by 2 comments below. Would be great to have an update to this mod.

Nope! Crashes with: "StopDropAndRoll.Default__X2Ability_DefaultAbilitySet_Mod
Function XComGame.X2Ability_DefaultAbilitySet:OverwatchTargetEffectsCondition:007F"
So I'm using https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1133528728 instead

I'm having a few issues with having left click as the way to move the solders.

When the xcom game is not the active window (I have two screens) and I left click on my xcom game to get it active again, it will carry that left click through and make me move on where ever I had clicked, frequently misplacing me.

Also running this with the mod [Misclick Confirm WOTC] results in being unable to left click any ability on the bottom of the screen as cautious moving is making false positives for moving in the open, triggering a misclick confirm warning message. The warning message only comes up when I attempt to move in the open but trying to do any left clicking on skills throws warnings if the tile under the skill icon itself is open. Using left click to select a skill might be triggering the possibility of moving even when i'm left clicking a skill?

Is it possible to change it from left click? Is Shift+Right Click, middle mouse, a custom key or some sort of toggle possible?

In LWOTC this mod disables the Chosen and Alien Ruler "reaction" . The animation starts but they stay in one place.

Great, but now that it's bound to left click you will always have a chance to missclick. Add it as movement for concealment only to right click instead and it will be perfect.

@Nox Oculus right so I suggest still moving with 1AP, so you get a 1AP headroom in case you mess up your first movement.

the number of squares moved is calculated just like normal movement, so letting you move with remaining squares would be cheating.

Yes I tried and your mod is still active
I'm not unhappy, I say that as your video shows 21/24 sec (and in my game)
in the 2nd movement the soldier stops before the planned initial point,
at the level of the undiscovered tree certainly, but without shelter and unable to move (and I do not use infinite movements as in your video) there must be a free movement with the remaining squares. (on your video behind the tree at 1 a box would be enough)

@Nox Oculis not sure what you are unhappy about. Are you judging by the video only or have you actually played the mod? Normally you would only use 1AP to move at a time, so that makes it even safer to move with this mod.
