add this:
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SelectAbility-IRI_TemplarShield, NodeType=Action)

modify this:
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SmartOverwatchAll, NodeType=Selector, \\
Child[0]=ConsiderReload, \\
Child[1]=SelectAbility-IRI_TemplarShield, \\
Child[2]=SelectAbility-Overwatch, \\
Child[3]=SelectAbility-PistolOverwatch, \\
Child[4]=SelectAbility-HunkerDown)

to use templar shield in lwotc

@Bardagh, well you can just do a binary search model , so enable half of your mods, disable the other half, see if it works. then you take half of the ones you've disabled, then enable HALF of those disabled, and then rinse and repeat until you hone . i've had to do this with a 350+ mod playthrough and yeah it took like 4 hours but eventually I found it. That's part of the price we pay for being able to play such a heavily modded playthrough!

Just stopped working for me after a big mod reshuffle. Alt mod launcher says no conflicts, though the filters aren't working reliably so I'm not certain that's correct. Anyone know offhand what might be causing the issue? My mod list is too long & my patience too short to disable them one at a time.

wow, uploading a tiny mod requieres install of a 90gb sdk.... think ill put it on nexus instead.

gooday sir, may i please re-up this mod with LWOTC tweaks? or better yet, could you?

This definitely still works.

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

Absolutely not smart, doesn't reload and hunker stupidly while having 0 ammo.

this mod still works. but if spark active overdrive ability, it will not end turn after using all three action.

dose this still work

@Alketi:
Works charming, thank you for sharing this!

It doesn't reload weapon (((

In LWOTC, is it possible for the Smart Overwatch option to make Sharpshooters Reload and then Steady Weapon instead of Hunker Down?

perfect, would love an option to remove "others" for people that don't use it (to reduce clutter).

hmm, having run this mod my last 2 playthougs i just wanted to say that it sometimes triggers when you use grenadiers grenade (seems to happen when you queue another action like reloading first ), and also that it reloads the sniper and then overwatches with the pistol is somewhat annoying too.
Apart from that great mod, thanks for adding it

@Wekmar
Some great Mod Troubleshooting advice

Nothing happens :(

@ Anakameron - if you don't want the reload function, you can use the Overwatch All/Others WotC which does not reload.

This is a must have mod for me. I cannot get it working with my current set of mods, the core being RPGO and Covert Infiltration.

I get the sense it's conflicting with RPGO (SWAG), because I get a message that RPGO does something that moves config around. When I load, my config doesn't have any of the Smart Overwatch All config entries in any of the config files. I tried adding the config myself, but no dice - new to this in XCOM, so I probably messed something up. I use the Alternative Mod Launcher, of course. It hasn't helped in resolving this thus far. If anyone can give me some tips on editing and/or confirming the config in XComAI.ini, it would be much appreciated.

For steady weapon, add/modify XComAI.ini to include:

+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SelectAbility-SteadyWeapon, NodeType=Action)
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Bsc_Ability, NodeType=Action)
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Adv_Ability, NodeType=Action)
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Sup_Ability, NodeType=Action)

+Behaviors=(BehaviorName=SmartOverwatchAll, NodeType=Selector, \\
Child[0]=ConsiderReload, \\
Child[1]=SelectAbility-SteadyWeapon, \\
Child[2]=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Bsc_Ability, \\
Child[3]=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Adv_Ability, \\
Child[4]=SelectAbility-Stock_LW_Sup_Ability, \\
Child[5]=SelectAbility-Overwatch, \\
Child[6]=SelectAbility-PistolOverwatch, \\
Child[7]=SelectAbility-HunkerDown)

I use the limited reloads mod does anyone know if you can make it so the soldiers either; a) only reload when empty (ideal) or ; b) not reload at all (acceptable)? Is there something I can change or comment out in the ini files?

i love this mod

@trapbuilder2
It's been working fine for me. Check out some great Mod Troubleshooting advice

Not working for me. Am using AML.

Works great, thank you

If it's not working for you:

Looks like an update to the launcher borked a load of mods. Download and run the game using the Alternative Mod Launcher instead and all your mods will work great

@danila.shestopalov
Did you enable the mod?

Began new game... nothing changed

I thought this was just a hotkey mod. But it apparently adds 2 icons to the action bar as well.

Anyway to remove those? I just wanted the hotkey.

If it isn't working for you, it will next mission, unless you installed it before starting a mission or new game in which case I have no idea.

REPEAT: If you install this and load the save in a mission it will NOT work for that mission

It does absolutely nothing.

I'm starting WOTC and I'm subscribed to this mod, but when I get ingame, pressing the shortcut key has no effect.

Essential QOL mod, saved me a lot of time. Thanks!

First off, thanks for the mod. It is one of the must have mods for me, and looking at how many collections it is in, for a lot of other people too. I have a question: compared to the vanilla version, there is a considerable delay as the camera pans over to each soldier individually to show the "Overwatch" flyover. Digging through the source files, the implementation seems a little different as you don't seem to be using events anymore and there is no AddFastReloadAbility(). Is that intentional? Could that be addressed (i.e. skipping camera pan to each soldier)? I can try doing it at my end locally, but just wanted to ask you first if that can even be done

Hi, can anyone help me to modify the ini files to add steady weapon? i playing beta LWOTC

@Empire: Would you mind telling me how you did that?

@General Disarray. I was able to modify the ini files to add steady weapon to the list of commands in the original version.

With the LWOTC mod entering beta soon, I wonder if this can be updated to allow stock equipped sharpshooters (or other soliders) to Steady Weapon instead of hunker/overwatch and also speed up animations/avoid camera pan to each solider?

How to change UI permutations

Update?

How would I add in new abilites to use because the Akimbo class mod always hunkers down since its overwatch and reloads are unique?

Is it possible to remove "smart overwatch others" button?

Just a heads up. The "Insanity Mind Control Duration Fix" mod breaks this mod for me. The overwatch all/others icons disappear completely. (Sorry if i missed this being mentioned anywhere).

Is there a vanilla version?

oh thanks :)

This mod working properly now?

Can you support the controller？
LT + Y

:(

Is this ever gonna get fixed? :/

Hrm... Is it possible to make a configuration file that allows you to select the priority of Overwatch abilities as well as allowing you to add mod-added overwatches?
I ask this because two mods i'm using (Lucubration's Sniper and Rising Tides) have non-standard overwatch abilities causing your mod to fall back on Hunker Down with them, and honestly you adding compatibility with Ever Mod Ever would be a lot more work than setting up a config file... I think.
