GetObjectSeen(object, object)
Determines whether an object sees another object.
int GetObjectSeen(
object oTarget,
object oSource = OBJECT_SELF
);
Parameters
- oTarget
- Object to determine if it is seen.
- oSource
- Object that is doing the looking. (Default: OBJECT_SELF)
Description
Determines whether oSource sees oTarget. Returns TRUE if oSource sees oTarget, FALSE otherwise. If oTarget is a placeable object, this function always returns FALSE.
Remarks
Only creatures are valid for oTarget and oSource. Any other type of object will return FALSE. The reason for this is because only creatures maintain perception lists.
LineOfSightObject can be assumed to be TRUE in the case oTarget is seen since you must have line of sight to have sight of something.
Note due to different perception ranges, invisibility, sanctuary and other effects just because oSource can or cannot see oTarget doesn't mean the opposite can be assumed.
This is also not required for OnPerception but may be useful (eg; if someone has become inaudiable due to EffectSilence, they might actually still be seen).
