Stealth mode?

I was having a play around with Xtraweap.wad and I noticed something about the shadow sphere (ArtiInvisibility, makes you invisible when you use it in your inventory). I activated it, and walked past a few enemies and they ignored me. I went back to see if I was dreaming and one of the cacodemons spotted me and started chasing me. So I restarted the level to check it out with another group of enemies. I stood there infront of them, mocking them. I ran off and two zombiemen saw me. So I tried the same again, but this time slowly creeping in. One of them still saw me though. How does this thing work? I MUST KNOW THE TRUTH!

The invisibility powerup in Zdoom is a bit more useful than in Doom. In Doom monsters would always wake on "seeing" you, but then go into that annoying (for projectile enemies at least) random aiming mode. Zdoom makes it less likely that the monsters will wake. I think making a noise will always wake them, but the chances of them seeing you and waking are much less than before.

so it's just chance? Meh, I wondered why the cyberdemon saw me while tiptoeing past him

I'm not certain it's just chance. You certainly get seen sometimes, but not all the time. So it seems that way. Graf (or someone) what's the code say?

It reduces the monsters sight range. That's all. It world for the Blur Sphere as well
