; if you attack from long range, but are hidden, you are generally making a straight roll - you have a source of advantage (being hidden), but you don't make the roll with advantage so you won't be able to apply your sneak attack unless your target has a creature hostile to it engaged with it. If you Do have an ally threatening your target, then you can apply your sneak attack, because you are making a straight roll - you have a source of disadvantage (long range), but it is negated by your source of advantage (hidden), and so you are making a straight roll - you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll, so the condition is met and sneak attack can be applied.
