Alright, so I am making a mod that will be based around light-based stealth system, but I don't have really a clue how to make it work.
Also, I want add new hud element that will indicate the light level of current player's location (including dynamic lights) that will appear in more classic HUD and that without bar HUD.
Working light-based stealth system ?

Re: Working light-based stealth system ?
Well, I guess there is no simple answer for such "simple" question, since stealth mechanics is quite complicated system and apparently it impossible simulate true stealth system without ACS\Zscript scripting or (probably) a lot of DECORATE spaghetti-hacks.
And ofc you must write whole bestiary from scratch for such system. As shows a quite good example of similar system in SneakyDoom (here official thread but all links are dead), the monsters may be inherited from a few basic ones. In general, the similar question already was discussed here.
What about "true" invisibility power regardless of stealth system it can be made with help of SetPlayerProperty(0,1,PROP_NOTARGET) and A_ClearTarget, OR via getting of double PowerInvisibility with Powerup.Mode "Cumulative". I mean something like this.

Spoiler: just demo of SneakyDoomThe main decorate f-tions for monster-actors most likely will be A_LookEx(LOF_NOSOUNDCHECK|LOF_NOSEESOUND), A_JumpIfTargetInLOS, A_ClearTarget, A_Wander, and different inventory f-tions.

Ok, I excepted that, but what about new hud element, I mean, it can be done by (whatever)INFO, but to make it work on basis that changes if some set light level is reached.
This is basically what I want to do:
