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
- 2 Versions of Sentrys are minimum (1 per vision mode)

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.
- (tbd) deactivation through buttons
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.)
Animations
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)
- (tbd) deactivation through buttons
