Most of the time my soldiers decide to drop their own body onto an enemy instead of using the sniper rifle I equipped them with.

Shouldn't there be an AI mode where an actor will not walk towards their target, and just skip right to shooting?

Customisable AI? So does that mean i can give my soldiers different roles? Like assault, sniper, ect.

How about someone just cook up a Lua script which makes the thingo AImode.crouch=false or something (it was something like that) after checking if it was under player control or not.

One of the most annoying thing among all the annoying things in CC.

i say programming walkpaths r annoying but, your sniper, or (w.e) always instantly hits the ground like crawl mode, usually throwing the actor off te dge or through a bunker bit window. Really annoying since its hard and lengthy to get the actor back to it's station assuming its not outside of the bunker.

function Update(self)
if self.AIMode == whatever the hell sentry is then
self.PinStrength = 1000;
end
end

Could that be:
if self.AIMode ~= 1 then
this means if it isn't player controlled, would the pining effect go away after re-selecting?

Alternativley you can use:
actor:GetController().InputMode = 3
and use some more Lua to create an artificial aim for your troops.

This could become a small mod, "Tactical Ai" it could work of key combinations.

function Update(self)
if self:GetController():IsPlayerControlled() == false then
self.PinStrength = 999;
end
end

that'd pin any troops you're not actively moving, though I'm not sure about the function name.

Doesn't that mean that if you switch actors in mid-air, they are pinned in the air?

Yes, that's one downside, unless you use the AIMode method and add a Lua controlled aim, or just a simple check like the one darkstorm uses to check the shinobi knife and if the target is grounded, apparently an AI controlled aim shouldn't be too hard. I think the function name is right though, it runs every frame, although it could use an:
else self.PinStrength = 0

Isn't there a thing that's like AIMode.Crouch? I'm pretty sure there is, and I'm also pretty sure it can be disabled.
