Can't react on weapons, and reaction fire

Figured this out last night, dunno if it'd be useful to anyone, just thought I'd post it here.

 

In a personal mod, I gave my soldiers a 30% chance to reaction fire by editing the character line. However, I set both pistols and sniper rifles to "Can't React". However, the reaction chance in the character line overrides whatever you set on the weapons. I ended the turn and an alien ran into view of my sniper, and he fired at it. So I think, for my purposes, I'm gonna have to remove the reaction percentage and just go with overwatch to get the results I need.

 

Also, setting units to reaction will happen regardless of putting them in overwatch. I've also witnessed one soldier reaction 3 times to the same alien, I don't know if it can happen more. I also watched an assault get 3 reaction shots to one, and then another reaction shot to another alien who came within range of that...hmm, close combat perk? Or something. Gives them a reaction on anything that moves in close. So he got four reactions in one turn. I thought I read somewhere that soldiers were limited to 2? Or is this only limited by overwatch, and not reaction?

 

Anyway, again, just musing and putting this out there for anyone who may be interested.

 

(I also gave aliens reaction fire too, but it was irrelevant to this post.)
