Happens in UFOAI 2.3 R25321 NON DEBUG Developer's Built and some prior.

Aliens try to shoot my soldiers trough walls and UFO hull until their magazines becomes empty. I'm attaching the savegame for testing.

This doesn't belong to this particular map - also was observe on map "Farm".

i wonder why the heck the particles are visible at all? something wrong with the tracing or the events that spawn the particles.

...though it should be the event EV_SHOOT_HIDDEN which should not spawn particles....

LOL, I found it :) Analysis showed that it *worked as designed*:
If an alien doesn't find a human target, he will shoot at something breakable, *regardless* of LoS !

I considered adding a visibility check, but that wouldn't prevent aliens from shooting at the breakable parts of their own ship. And there is no way to distinguish between breakables owned by aliens and other breakables that I know of.

So I disabled it for now. Fixed in r26725.
Maybe we should invent something like func_explosive. THAT would make up a nice target ;)
