Seeing system changes

Recommended Posts

Rocket is now making a new visibility system, but I would like to correct it a little bit.

Quoting:

Now I am tweaking values. They will now have the CHANCE to detect you from much further away visually, but this rises and falls based exponentially on how close you are versus how visible you are. So if you are visible at 120m, and at 110m, you have a very low (but still possible) chance that you will be spotted. The longer you stay there the greater the chance of being spotted.

------------------------------

The idea is good, but the method is wrong. If you don't move, you should be harder to see, because IRL movements can betray you, not vice versa. It's simple and realistic.

Maybe he was talking about such situation: going along a field near a village? So if you stop, you are spottable? I agree, but a moving point among the grass is even more noticeable then a static one.

Comment on it!

I'm assuming the probability is weighted by a multiplier based on your visibility.

So it'd be an exponential dropoff as you get further away, but the probability is multiplied by whatever your visibility is. So if you're standing, at any given distance you have 5x the probability of being spotted as you do prone at that same distance. Watch your visibility and audibility meter as you move; they should increase. (If you move very slowly, this may not be true.)

The exponential model, we can assume, is for being seen under the exact same conditions, with distance as the independent variable.

Moving should make you more noticeable. Now standing still makes you more noticeable. That's all I want.
