Issue: I've only tested this twice, but from what I understand vanishing smoke is meant to grant me a means to get HIPS when used, and I can just hop and skip away while in stealth mode. However, each time I've used it, I've been spotted as if nothing had changed (PCs still see me, NPCs still see me), as if I had just triggered stealth mode in LOS. Hope this can be fixed because I enjoy the perk overall!!!
MS and I Did some extensive testing with Vlad.
Basically you get personally blinded yourself and forced into stealthmode, and if you through the item 8-10 meters away from yourself (medium range maybe? Like scint sphere distance) you get the spell of concealing for a fraction of second. However you have to be absolutely stationary and similar from time of toss to activation.
Basically a sitting duck.
However this only occurs if you are targeting away from any PCs and Any NPCs.
So it is less of a ninja smoke bomb and more of a distraction type thing?
But only if you through it in a very specific sweet spot radius away from yourself and any other PCs, which mid PvP or etc seems borderline impossible to calculate.
Seeing as it's more or less the main focus of the perk, could it be possible to get my level 8 perk changed?
Fixed for next version.
Vanishing Smoke has been changed to no longer needing to be within a certain range, although there may be longer animation time for throwing the bottle further away.
Targeting yourself (impossible) or targeting enemies do not matter. Issue lay with the script trying to create a hostile effect at a location.
