Stunned ally due to mind control and now they're stuck

Post by Glacialis »

Long War 1.1 / latest, W10.

Mods:
Capnbubs Accessories Pack
Custom Face Paints
Evac All
Free the Hood
Ink and Paint
LW2: Better Squad Icon Selector
Make all Items Available & Remove Unused Upgrades
More Maps Pack
MtM's LW2 Squad Icon Pack


1) Sectoid mind controls a soldier
2) Assault stuns them with zappy gun
3) They get unstunned in theory because I can control them, but the only action they can take is move.

They're on their knees still and teleport around instead of showing the walk/run animations. I have a save file available but can't attach it here.

I had the same issue :

Versions : latest/latest (Steam on PC)

No other mods installed.

1) Had a soldier mind controlled
2) stunned the soldier with assault (zap gun)
3) managed to disorient the sectoïd, mind control stopped
4) stunned never stopped. Save and reload after the point where the soldier should have been fine only reactivated the movement animation. Soldier could move, but nothing else (tried to shoot, fortify position, throw grenades and extract him, nothing worked).

Don't have a save available (kept going after that point, lost autosave).

Encountered the same bug. A drone stunned my soldier then a sectoid mind-controlled him. My shinobi cut the sectoid down freeing the soldier, but after he took his actions, he was unavailable the turns after.

1) Long War Version 1.1
2) Win10
3) just a ton of Weapons/Cosmetics + preview LOS
4) The command pod in the Network Tower Liberation mission mindcontrols a soldier, I then hack the mission item so the Sectoid gets stunned, it stuns my soldier and gives control back to me, my soldier stays stunned for the same amount of time as the rest of the enemies. After the stun ends I can select my soldiers, the skills look clickable, but I can't select / use a skill nor move the soldier.

5) I should have a save, yes. If not I can easily make one. I just ragequit due to this :P

I just ran into a very similar problem in a network tower mission.

When I hack the thing it stunns my mindcontrolled soldiers as well, returns control to me, but they cant move. Even when the stun ends after two turns and they dont look stunned anymore I can't move or use any actions.

Seems there is an issue with stunning a sectoid that is mindcontrolling atm.

I think I've fixed this. There's been an outstanding bug from base XCOM 2 regarding mind-controlled units that are stunned (actually it affects a lot of ticking effects like disorient, poison etc). I've fixed that up.

I've also added a new condition to the network tower hack that prevents any soldier-type units (e.g. XCOM soldiers, sparks, modded-in stuff) from being affected by the map-wide stun.
