Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Scripting Possible for object (light) to force unstealthing?

I'm thinking of making a thieving-based campaign, and the first part is to see if parts of what I need are even actually possible.

One thing I want is use of light sources (in combination with patrolling/stationary guards) to restrict the movements of sneaking players some of those the players might be able to turn off with a switch, others they might extinguish with water arrows.

So as far as anyone knows, is it possible to force a sneaking player out of stealth if they enter the radius of an object (preferably a special light source)?

Sneaking characters have a status called "SNEAKING", so you can check for that and remove it when appropriate.

One idea for going about that is to have your object emit a hidden aura status. When that status is applied to a player, you check the player (with scripting) for SNEAKING.

Something like:

Story version:


Or:

Behavior (gameScript) version:

Thanks! So then all I'll have to so is add a way to toggle when the object emits the aura or not. I think I should definitely make a crude, tiny test level first to make sure I can get it to work.
