The detectability values from the character class specific to stances are these by default:

Why standing still is more detectable than walking, beats me.

The modifier works as an offset to the value currently active in the case.



Before the actual resulting value gets used, it's clamped between 0.0 and 1.0.

0.0 result detectability of a target in eyes of AI should basically make them not see the target ever.

Can't remember if the modifier was tested, it at least isn't in use in vanilla currently, but looking at the code I can't see why it wouldn't work.

I found these detectability values (and I also wondered why detectability_still is so high ), but I never knew how to use modifier class and tried it so many times without success, although it's so easy to use... Anyways, finally I can make a ghillie suit! Thank you again for you help.

Edit: Ok, it works just fine, but is it also possible to modify only a specific detectability value, like detectability_prone?

No, unfortunately, it's just that one "post processor" that modifies the resulting detectability.

A generic modifier system would be neat which would allow equipment specific character property modifiers to be applied right after obtaining values from the character specification, but there's no such thing in the game as vanilla has never needed one.

Why did I not figure out that vest detectability modifier earlier?



Time for some ghillie suits.
