Consumes the Mimic Beacon

Is this working with WoTC?

Is this compatible with AH?

Thanks for info :)
Don't know if I'm going to try it myself - crap internet connection with 20GB/month limit....
But if I manage to do so i'll let you know. Thanx for feedback anyway :)

Nayen: Actually, it is quite simple, all that you need to do is add the correct ability to the abilitycost.

For programmers:

abilityManager = class'X2AbilityTemplateManager'.static.GetAbilityTemplateManager();
forEach abilityManager.IterateTemplates(data, none)
{
mimic = X2AbilityTemplate(data);
if (mimic != none && mimic.name == 'MimicBeaconThrow')
{
mimic.AbilityCosts.length = 0; // Remove any old costs. Add new.
mimic.AbilityCosts.AddItem(new class'X2AbilityCost_ConsumeItem');
}
}

Did you spend a lot of time to make it working? I'm woundering how long would take to do such a consuming to all kind of throwing items (granades, mines etc.) and heavy weapons. Would be marvelous addition to the FiniteArmory mod.

I love you, but the two nerfs together might be a bit too hardcore for now.

The patch has kinda fubar'd this mod. Auto hit and consumable might be a nerf too far.

I am subscribing with gritted teeth. Watched too many roflstomp legend letsplays, where the only moment of excitement is when the streamer realises they already used the actions of the trooper holding the umpteenth beacon.

Jim: Absolutely something to consider. It will require a lot more coding and testing. I wont make any promises, but we'll see.

Hmmm... I wonder... would it be possible to rig it such that if the Mimic Decoy survives to the end of its duration, it drops a Mimic Beacon as loot? That would make it a little less harsh, especially if you can position it well, but still requires some effort t. Maybe give it only 1 or 2 turns of timer to recover it, make it more likely to expire before the firefight ends.
