in your version of ufo ai, can one of your soldiers walk over one of your dead soldiers and pick up weapons, ammo, grenades, etc.....
I cannot.
-
I dont think that feature is available in ufo:ai yet. You only get the equipment back at the end of combat.

Steve,
Thank you very much for your assistance.
-
i would not be surprised if it is buggy, but i am sure i have been able to pick up weapons off fallen foes.
-
I think it might be in the code for aliens to drop their weapons when killed. I've seen the blasters and such on the floor, but never tried to pick one up. The difference is, when our soldiers get killed i don't see those weapons hit the floor.
-
I was just testing a map in the 2.3 from the betasite, and while playing, one of my soldiers was able to pick up a weapon from a dead alien (it had a double-barreled shotgun I wanted to play with), but when that soldier was subsequently killed, another trooper was unable to loot the shotgun off of him. I assume this will be fixed soon.
-
Why would you assume that?
-
Seems like the sort of thing that would be fixed, probably sooner than later.
-
The inventory code is complex and hard to debug, so I wouldn't be surprised if this bug went unfixed for a good while longer. You can help the process along by making a detailed bug report, including a reliable way to reproduce it.
-
Is it actually a bug, or a feature that has not yet been implemented?
I assumed it was common knowledge that you couldn't loot dead soldiers, and therefore didn't report it as a bug.
/As an aside, we could do with some sort of "conatiners" on maps - especially on base defence, so that you can look inside your weapons locker and loot yourself a weapon more suited to the task at hand...
