In case anyone is wondering, this mod is not necessary with War of the Chosen.

If I underestand your description correctly, the easiest way to fix this would be to COMBINE the vanilla behaviour (update position only when using Put Down) and your mod's (update position only when moving), to cover these edge cases (even without using console commands, I'm wary something similar might happen if Invert is used on a carrier).

FYI, this seems to cover most cases, except one - teleporting the carrier via console commands. If you do that and then try to drop your luggage, they'll drop it on the original pre-ttp location (even if using Controllable PutDownUnit).

even though they cant be hit, position still appears to be different. They probably just made the downed unit invincible. required for my mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2796040662

Thanks for testing, davidtriune, and thanks for letting us know.

did a test on wotc, doesnt seem to need this mod. threw a nade where a bleeding out soldier was at (while he is being carried), he's still bleeding out.

is this WOTC Compatable?

@Ebithril: I think you misunderstood part of the description...the "throwing nade where they were before" also applies if they were downed next to somthing explosive...which happens with dark VIPs to me pretty often...well, the enemies or my guys sometimes had blown up the car he was next to as collateral damage, and then my mission failed like that...which just sucks and shows again, that next to no testing was done for this game...at least not for many basic features...

THIS IS A THING?!
I've never had this happen to me.
Then again, I don't think any of my carriers have ever been exposed and knocked down/killed...

Still, fucking RIDICULOUS that somethnig as silly as this, AGAIN, need to be fixed by modders... :(

is this WOTC Compatable?

Have you contact the company about this being screwed up like this? Seems like the kind of thing that shouldn't require a mod to fix it.

Thank you! Maybe I won't fail the next dark VIP mission when my man doing the carrying gets knocked out (again).

How the devs managed to screw this up is beyond me. I had so many problems on Dark VIP missions because of this.

Thank you very much!

Have an internet from me

This is a bugfix more than anything else - many thanks for addressing a flaw that's been in there since release!

@Kuroi.Kitsune: While I agree, there is still no excuse that it hasn't been fixed by Firaxis yet. Since the game is out there have been a ton of reports of this bug after all.

@Fireborn just lost a soldier to this bug used commands to try everything I could just to get her picked up, I couldn't eventually I gave up

[RQ] StuballZ easy to say, in all my playthroughs I never encountered this, so most likely in testing period noone even thought about this scenario.

Good work. Another silly bug that shouldn't have made it through to the finished game.

No, that sounds like the issue where the ragdoll doesn't land where the unit is located, I think LOS Preview handles that.

does this fix the bug when a unit cant be picked up after getting knocked out by a stun lancer?
worst bug in my opinion this game ever had.

Hadn't even been aware this was a problem, but grief, I'm already really glad you made this mod :P

Great! I encountered this issue a few times. Knocked out a ViP and carried him off, then the car he was knocked out next to exploded and he died, even though he was on the other side of the map.

Thank you! Been waiting for this
