[Mod Release] Friendly Fire

[ClintonM]

Pretty simple really, allows stray shots to hit friendly mechs.

Just search for "Friendly Fire" on Nexus, it's mod number 448.

The code to do this is already exists, it just needs to be activated in the JSON, and it's just a one line change.

If you just want to hack the JSON yourself instead of downloading the mod, just add:
"StrayShotValidTargets": 2
to the "ToHit" in CombatGameConstants.json (it doesn't currently exist)

If what I understand of the code is correct, the possible values are:

0: Enemy only
1: Enemy+neutral
2: All targets

I haven't had time to test this (and won't till the weekend), but it would be great to get confirmation it works before that.

Also, first person to headcap their own mech on stream gets 100 points!

I feel like I want this, but will not want this after a couple hours of actually playing. Totally giving this a shot once I have time to play.

I mean, this is the kind of change I could add to my tool if you like?

This should really be an option in the custom campaign difficulty settings. AWESOME.

Add to your "tool"? I don't know what you mean but sure!

Oh feel free might be worth confirming it works first though!

Hmm... if it's a one-line JSON change, then I believe it will be possible to make it a difficulty setting. I may look into it once I've finished updating my personal mods for 1.6 (which admittedly, could be a while).
