True Sight not showing hidden individuals

Post by Gwain » Wed Aug 17, 2011 11:44 pm

True sight is not working for hidden individuals anymore, I don't know if that is the case for invisible ones either.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

True Sight actually should not detect hidden people or things, and it looks like we've now implemented the (long in beta) code that makes that actually the case. True Sight does detect invisible individuals (at least on the test port). The new SPOT skill is now what gives you a chance to see hidden people and things.

Help file does say True Sight includes detect hidden which affects hidden objects only not people which the help file clarifies.

True Sight
==========
Divination
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Syntax: cast 'true sight'

This spell can only be cast upon yourself. It is a combination of
darkvision (enabling you to see in the dark), detect invisible,
and detect hidden. This spell also allows you to see through
blinding attacks.

* This spell will NOT allow you to see hidden persons or creatures.
Whether you manage to do that hinges on a check against your spot skill.

Detect Hidden helpfile also indicates objects only and IS currently working as help file says and not revealing hidden creatures (I used it today, haven't used true sight to see if it is working on objects)

I confirm that true sight works on objects and exit but not mob/pc on game port.

Ah, sorry, I was imprecise there.

The helpfile is correct and I think now reflects the actual operation of the spell. Thanks for confirming and clarifying that, Brar!
