Sentry

Idea

What is my general idea for the feature? ("Tldr!")

• Statue like structure that can see in a straight line.
• The only antagonistic part of the Levels.

Intention / Requirements:

What am I trying to achieve with the idea and what are my constraints?

• Beeing seen by a Sentry will deactivate all active buttons (closing doors in the process)
• Sentry sight in 2 modes ( constant sight, rythmic sight )
• Size is the same as Player (2H1D1W)
• Vision (eyes or sth. similar) needs to be at 1.5H
• One type of Sentry will be alble to be de/activated through pressing a button.
• 3 Versions of Sentrys are minimum (1 per vision mode and one deactivateable)

Design

What is my specific design for the feature?

Line of sight mechanics:

• The line of sight will end at the first object it hits.
• The line of sight will shorten to the point where a Moveable is moved in its way.
• When the Player crosses the line of sight all doors will close and buttons will deactivate.
• Line of sight is at 1.5 height (1.5H ) so every 2H object will be hit but smaller objects will not.
• Deactivation through buttons will be possible for a specific type of sentry.

Visual:

• As long as there is a specific point at 1.5H where the line of sight will originate it can be anything that fits the setting (expl. a jewl).

Required Feedback

What feedback does the designed feature need to function?

VFX

• The origin of the line of sight should glow (light properties tbd.)

Sound

• low indication sound when statue is active (seeing)

Variables

What Variables do I, as the Designer, need to balance this feature?

• Sentry sight interval (settings for activation rythm)
• De/activation through buttons.

Dependencies

Player, Movables, Doors, Buttons
