Harrier Fixes for Playable Aliens for LWOTC

Description
A simple bugfix mod for Kiruka's Playable XCOM 2 Aliens for LWOTC.


In the original mod, Muton Harriers are supposed to get an increase in radius to their Harrier Launcher attacks based on weapon tier. However, it is not working due to an error in the code.

This mod fixes that error to give Harrier Launchers(the playable ones) their radius bonus back.

The second thing it does is change the targeting of Harrier Launcher attacks to show its AOE, it uses the same targeting as standard shots in the original mod even though the attacks have AOE.

Finally, it fixes Harrier Launcher abilities not costing ammo to use.

+0815 Update
Allow Harriers to use the standard Harrier Launcher shot when disoriented.
+0910 Update
Fix the Shredder perk not working on Harrier Launcher shots, also 'fixes' standard Harrier Launcher shot having damage falloff as a side effect.

What it does
  • Give playable Harrier Launchers bonus radius on attacks based on weapon tier (+1 for Mag/Coil, +2 for Beam)
  • Changes the targeting method Harrier Launcher attacks use so that you can see their AOE
  • Configurable in XComGame.ini, you can turn off either change or add more Harrier Launcher abilities/radius bonus.
  • The ammo cost fix is configurable in XComAbilityEditor.ini.

Credit
  • Kiruka for creating Playable Aliens for LWOTC.
  • Iridar for the Enhanced Mod Project Template[github.com], which saved a lot of my time when creating mods.
  • The LW2/LWOTC team for creating Long War 2/ Long War of the Chosen, and also because the Targeting Method was pretty much copied from Area Suppression.

Disclaimer
  • Should be safe to add/remove mid-campaign.
  • Should be compatible with any mod that does not change the costs of Harrier Launcher abilities or fixes the issues dealt with here in another way
  • The radius/targeting change will only work if you use the exact Playable Aliens for LWOTC in the requirement, meaning if someone makes a Redux or something in the future this mod won't be compatible.
