BurningAndPoisonedDamageBypassesShields
Tracking Issue: #89
In base game, shields (eStat_ShieldHP) absorb damage from typical damage over time effects,
such as burning or poisoned. Mods can override this behavior by setting the following
flags in XComGameCore.ini:
[XComGame.X2Effect_Burning]
BURNED_IGNORES_SHIELDS=true ; Make burn and acid DOT ignore shields
[XComGame.X2StatusEffects]
POISONED_IGNORES_SHIELDS=true ; Make poison DOT ignore shields
Note that BURNED_IGNORES_SHIELDS will apply to all instances of X2Effect_Burning that
use its SetBurnDamage() helper method to set up the burn damage effect.
POISONED_IGNORES_SHIELDS will apply to all instances of posioned effect created using
the X2StatusEffect::CreatePoisonedStatusEffect() helper method.
This should cover all instance of these effects in the base game, but mods can potentially disregard these helper methods.
Refer to this feature to apply similar change to bleeding damage over time.
