Tracking Shot Defence

Description
Hunker Down (and other defensive abilties) actually do something against the Hunter Chosen's Tracking Shot.

Specifically, Tracking Shot by default has the "deadeye" (this is the internal name for it) to hit calculation, which means it always hits. (And thus making that tutorial popup about it saying hunker down can reduce its chance to hit if needed, a lie.)

This mod modifies tracking shot that ignores the bonus gained from cover, but can otherwise be missed depending on the Hunter's aim (he has a max of 95 at the maximum tier) and any other defensive bonuses the soldiers being targeted have.

Is this mod still needed/useful if one is running the new Don't Move A Muscle mod? Trying to clear some clutter. lol

It will ignore the 20/40 defence bonus from being in low or high cover. It will not ignore any other sources of defence.

I'm finding the description to be a bit ambiguous. Which defensive modfiifers factor into the hit calculation with this mod (hunker, cover, defense stat) and which do not? How is the calculation made?

The game crash with tracking shot sometimes, with or without this mod

Can I integrate this mod into my own project?

This is interesting. So I used the console to kill all AI so I can progress with my game. It didn't end the mission oddly enough because the hunter had HP regen. Eventually I found him running back and forth like a headless chicken. I thought maybe his AI broke so I ran up with someone within range and he started shooting at me. I ran away and he used tracking shot but it actually didn't crash. Maybe it was trying to calculate the UI from across the map and couldn't figure out LOS? Maybe it was MOCX as they were on the missing? I don't know.

How strange. I run into the hunter for the 2nd time as well as MOCX, and every time he does tracking shot, the game crashes. Tried removing this mod and no luck, it just keeps crashing during the animation of tracking shot. It didn't happen the first time I encountered hunter and he used tracking shot them as well.

For some reason this mod was causing me crashes on any dash move to cover, only tested it on gatecrasher and I have a LOT of mods, but just letting you know

This mod modifies tracking shot that ignores the bonus gained from cover, but can otherwise be missed depending on the Hunter's aim (he has a max of 95 at the maximum tier) and any other defensive bonuses the soldiers being targeted have.

I'm a little confused by what this means. Does this mean chance to miss is now based solely on aim and defense (with additions from things like hunker down" but ignoring cover defense value?
