MotionSensor

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default value	Description
MotionDetected	bool	false	Has the item currently detected movement. Intended to be used by StatusEffect conditionals (setting this value in XML has no effect).
Target	TargetType	Any	Which kind of targets can trigger the sensor?
TargetCharacters	string	””	Does the sensor react only to certain characters (species names, groups or tags)? Doesn’t have an effect, if the Target Type is incorrect.
IgnoreDead	bool	false	Should the sensor ignore the bodies of dead characters?
RangeX	float	0	Horizontal detection range.
RangeY	float	0	Vertical movement detection range.
DetectOffset	Vector2	“0,0”	The position to detect the movement at relative to the item. For example, 0,100 would detect movement 100 units above the item.
UpdateInterval	float	0.1	How often the sensor checks if there’s something moving near it. Higher values are better for performance.
MaxOutputLength	int	200	The maximum length of the output strings. Warning: Large values can lead to large memory usage or networking issues.
Output	string	“1”	The signal the item outputs when it has detected movement.
FalseOutput	string	“0”	The signal the item outputs when it has not detected movement.
MinimumVelocity	float	0	How fast the objects within the detector’s range have to be moving (in m/s).
DetectOwnMotion	bool	true	Should the sensor trigger when the item itself moves.
