A Question About Motion Tracking

<div class="IPBDescription">what is considered motion?</div> We all know that an alien will not show up on motion tracking if he is standing completely still. But will the alien show up on motion tracking if he looks around using only the mouse (no movement keys, so his position isn't changing)?

    If the skulk looks around, he wont be seen by motion tracking (unless he's sticking out from the corner/nook/cranny he's in). Move the tiniest fraction however, and you'll stay up on motion tracking for a few seconds, so if your going to move make it worth while...

    An alien also shows up on MT if he dies for some bizarre & annoying reason.

    And I *think* the skulk cant be seen on MT when he's leaping.

    i think your right. i never see leapers till they hit me.

    actually since mt is a delayed response thing, it tracks slowly and not exactly where the alien is if its moving, leap is to fast for it to track during the leap, so it jumps to where the leap ends.

    A bit like speed cameras - you speed in your car, it catches you. If you do more than 170mph you go too fast for it to pick you up.
