CANSEELOS

Usage

REFERENCE.CANSEELOS TARGET

Description

CANSEELOS is a test, so it is most often used in an IF statement. What it does is calculate a direct line from the eyes of the character (typically SRC) to the item, character, or point location... and if there is anything that blocks on that path, then you can't see.

If you can see the target, the return value is 1, and if you cannot see, the return value is 0.

When testing... keep in mind that a GM has line of sight to everything!

Example

ON=@TargOn_Item
    IF !(<SRC.TARG.CANSEELOS>)
        SRC.SYSMESSAGE @032 That item is not within line of sight
        RETURN 1
    ENDIF
ON=@TargOn_Ground
    IF !(<SRC.CANSEELOS <SRC.TARGP>>)
        SRC.SYSMESSAGE @032 That location is not within line of sight
        RETURN 1
    ENDIF
