This page is covering meaning of some commonly used terms in this system.

Gain Value

Represents current gain value which is calculated based on time the target is spotted and Gain Multiplier. Once Gain Value exceeds Gain Sight Duration, spotted target becomes perceived. If a Gain Multiplier = 2.0 and the Gain Sight Duration = 1.0, spotted target will become perceived after 0.5 seconds.

Gain Multiplier

Value defined for each sight info separately. This is used to multiply time the target is spotted to either speed up or slow down the “process of perceiving”.

Gain Decay

Value indicating how quickly is the gain value going to be decreasing. This value is used to multiply the delta time when calculating the gain value.

Wait Time Duration

Time that needs to pass for a target to transition from a spotted state to lost state. When a target is spotted and becomes invisible, this amount of time needs to pass before a target becomes lost. There is an appropriate event broadcasted when a wait time starts. The order of broadcast events it then spotted -> wait time started -> lost. It is possbile for a target to become spotted before the wait time is over in which case the order of events would look spotted-> wait time started -> spotted.

Auto Success Distance

Decides whether a target should still be considered visible or not, even if there is no direct line of sight. This distance is measured from last known location to a target and current target’s location. This distance is visualized in a debug drawing for easy inspection and testing.

Lose Sight Cooldown

This value defines how long target that has been perceived is going to be remembered. Once a time after target is no longer perceived exceeds this value, the target becomes “forgotten”.
