Properties
discovered
Have we been discovered yet?
Note that this should be a simple property value, not a method. It’s risky to make this a method because it’s evaluated from within some of the low-level scope/sense calculations, and those calculations depend upon certain global variables. If you make this property into a method, you could indirectly call another method that changes some of the same globals, which could disrupt the main scope/sense calculations and cause other, seemingly unrelated objects to mysteriously appear or disappear at the wrong times. If you need to calculate this value dynamically, you could explicitly assign the property a new value in something like a daemon or an afterAction() method.
(The warning above is a bit more conservative than is strictly necessary. It actually is safe to make ‘discovered’ a method, *provided* that the method doesn’t ever call anything that’s involved in the scope/sense calculations. For example, never call methods like senseObj(), senseAmbientMax(), or sensePresenceList(), or anything that calls those. In most cases, it’s safe to call non-sense-related methods, like isOpen() or isIn().)
