Detection Meter

typescript

Tracks enemy awareness with multi-state detection

class DetectionSystem {
  private awareness = 0;
  private readonly THRESHOLD = 100;
  
  update(visibility: number, noise: number, distance: number): State {
    const rate = (visibility * 0.5 + noise * 0.3) / Math.max(distance, 1);
    this.awareness = clamp(this.awareness + rate, 0, this.THRESHOLD);
    if (this.awareness >= this.THRESHOLD) return 'ALERT';
    if (this.awareness > 60) return 'SUSPICIOUS';
    if (this.awareness > 20) return 'CAUTIOUS';
    return 'UNAWARE';
  }
