Motion detector questions

[Clayton_Kelly]

If you got a ping left of your sprite, the contact is left right? Because I've had movement to the east, but actually see with my eyes an alien moving fast to the left. Can some aliens hide from the detector while moving? And is the long-range mode basically like the sentry long-range mode? A directional arc?

Long range has better radius but longer waits between pings, use it because it's the only useful setting. The "beeper" as we professionals call it beeps and pings the location of any non-marine ID'd targets it picks up

pings to the left side of your screen means it is left same as the other side. Xenos can't hide from the detection if the marines are in range of where the xenos are it will ping
