As far as I can tell, it's just a regular Ronin with a cool hat, a neat description, a professional title, and a hefty price tag. Other than normal actor variables like mass and gibability, what's the deal? I'm considering making a sniper actor for my mod, but only if there's more to it than looks, value, and a job description. Anyone have any insights?

In short, they are better at spotting enemies.

One of the first non-stickied thread of Game Discussion.

There's a somewhat long discussion about it.

Ah. What I'm gathering is that it's the grouping of the actor that makes all of the difference. I overlooked the fact that it was in the special group "Snipers" as just being an identifier that it was special, not that it actually made them special. I was expecting something like a special "SniperAI.lua" to give it away, but now that I think about it, it makes a ton more sense this way.

Thanks for the helpful hints! I guess this is resolved! I'll make my Sniper right away. Thanks again!
