Detection is a complicated process involving many variables, and always exactly two actors | Detection is a complicated process involving many variables, and always exactly two actors. It is important to note that the engine does not calculate successful "sneak rolls" for the actor who is sneaking: it is vice versa; the engine calculates successful "detection rolls" for the actor being stalked (''origin'') vs. the sneaking actor (''target''). Therefore, detection is always calculated between two actors: the ''origin'' and the ''target''. | ||
The variables involved break down into three categories: '''Base''', '''Skill''', '''Light''', '''Sound'''. These variables are simply combined together to calculate the end-result. If the end-result is higher than [[fSneakSeenMin]] (default: 0), the ''target'' is detected. When an actor is detected, it can be ''target''ed as well, therefore the hostile units will engage the ''target'' in combat, while non-hostile units will only "notice" the ''target'' - which usually results in looking directly at the ''target'' and making a comment/greeting towards him/her. | The variables involved break down into three categories: '''Base''', '''Skill''', '''Light''', '''Sound'''.
