Weird things happen if you stun a mind-controlled unit and...

Post by MantLemon »

**This is actually reported by a cyber friend who said s/he has commented under the workshop page, but I think it will catch more attentino here (I don't know how to reliably replicate the below scene)**
----------
LW 2 v1.0
Win 10, STEAM
no other game-changing mods
----------
Turn one: Sectoid mind-controlled a soldier.
Turn two: Assault stunned the soldier in case he dealt damage to squadmates.
Turn three: Sectoid doing things; the mind-controlled soldier remained stunned.
Turn four: Squad killed the sectoid. Pop-up said mind-control lost. No pop-up saying stun duration ended and the soldier looks like a stunned one. However, he had 2 action points as usual and could move (although teleporting all the way), but couldn't perform any action because every ability on his ability bar is grey.
----------
**There is also a report which makes feel the aforementioned accident is not a bug of LW 2 but one already exists in vanilla game. Its source also coms from a cyber friend**
Similar things happen to a mind-controlled soldier who has been frozen by the frost grenade - killing the mind-controller during the frozen effect duration gives back the soldier the ability to move but not the ability to act.

It would be appreciated if there is some sort of clarification about this. I'm curious about this potential bug because as far as I know, people flashbang the sectoid instead of stunning their own mate, so maybe no one have noticed this before.

this happened to me and I couldn't evac my soldier.. which sucked because he was a bad ass with lots of weapon mods. i even tried reloading and getting him killed so i could at least loot his body but the reinforcement s were too strong ... sucks..

Same actions, sectoid mind controls my soldier, I stun him with my assault, I kill the sectoid the turn after, but my soldier remains stunned (for about 3 turns) and can move but can't evac or anything else.

I can provide saves (if anyone tells me how).
