If it's really an issue, if you know an alien has been stunned and you don't want it to wake up, either pick up all the gear you want and run away, or toss the body into a corner, and then drop a grenade on the body. Annoying to hunt down, sure, but not dangerous.

They'll have dropped all their weapons and grenades, and the AI has no code to ever pick items up. Muton commander To be honest, outside of Terror Units, there's no 1x1 alien that poses any threat if it wakes up from stun. NKF 23:10, 13 November 2007 (PST)Ĭould it be poossible to use the bug listed here to keep any 1x1 alien indefintately unconscious? This would be are major help for long missions (terror, large/very large ships, alien bases, and retaliation). Yes, that explains my vague recollection! So, no, not useful at all as an exploit. Instead, what happened was that the corpse was created at the unitref coordinates (which won't update when the unconscious body is moved about until it wakes up), not the coordinates of the temporary body item. The game must replace the temporary unconscious body (with reference to the live unit) with a new corpse item. The corpse of the alien instead showed up where I'd originally picked it up. I moved the body, then blew it up with a grenade. The experience I had was that I picked up a stunned alien, then did something with it. On second though, I can't seem to replicate it. Not sure if it can be used as an exploit though. I'll have to run a few experiments and see if I can replicate it. I really can't remember the particulars, but I've seen it happen. But I have this vague recollection that there was some trick where you could move an unconscious body, but it would wake up where it was stunned (i.e waking up at the unit's last known coordinates, not the coordinates for the item representing the body). I know that stunned units being carried that wake up naturally will wake up next to the person who was carrying the body. Like I said, I doubt this is in the game but it'd be a damn good thing to have in any remake. If alien units successfully manage to knock X-COM units unconscious, and either the mission fails or the mission is aborted, leaving the stunned soldiers behind, do the aliens take the stunned units back and interrogate them (using psionics?) to try and learn the location of X-COM bases? X-COM units stun alien units to bring them back to base alive, to interrogate them and learn more about the alien threat. I doubt that the Gollop brothers actually went this far, but it'd be interesting to see if there is anything like this in the game. I can't think of anywhere else to put this.Ī thought occurred to me late last night.
