Can't Stealth Relays

Description
Activates all pods that can see the objective being attacked. Works for tactical saves; can be capped.

Context: Normally on Alien Relay missions you can send a concealed spotter up to the relay and snipe it, while the aliens sitting on top of the relay completely ignore all of this and patiently wait for you to finish dealing with the time critical stuff before you move on to kill all of them at your own pace.

This never made any sense to me, so now shooting the relay will activate every enemy that can see it.

Also applies to base defense missions.

The activation range can be limited.

WOTC version

Compatibility:
No overrides
Works with any missions in the DestroyObject family with an "AlienRelay" interactive object
Works with any missions named AvengerDefense with a "RestrictorSpike" interactive object

Great Idea. Does it work for the Truck-Battery of the Chosen Mega-Gun in the Chosen-Avenger Defense Mission?

Done the change, thanks.

Yes.

Assuming: XComCantStealthRelays.ini add line "+IgnoredAbilities=Killzone"

Correct?

Not sure when I'll be able to update, so for now you should add 'Killzone' to IgnoredAbilities in the ini yourself.

Found a bug: A sniper dropping a Kill Zone cone which includes the Relay immediately causes activation of nearby pods.

Didn't know I wanted this, but now that I see it I for sure do.

Great work mate.
