What this clip demonstrates

  • Damage and scripted alarms can bypass ordinary sight and hearing gates.
  • The injected stimulus still enters the normal awareness and debugging pipeline.
  • Intensity and stimulus rules decide whether the result is investigation, alarm, or combat.

Implementation notes

Some events are already authoritative. A guard that has been hit does not need to run a vision test before reacting, and a mission alarm may deliberately place every guard into a known state.

The custom-stimulus hook handles those cases without creating a second AI state system. Position, intensity, source, and time are recorded like any other evidence, so the reaction remains visible in the same debugger and threat arbitration rules.
