Is it possible to do Aura effects?

[jecrell]

Hello there! Currently I'm considering the possibilities for the Call of Cthulhu mod. I have plenty of workarounds in mind, but I was wondering...

Is it possible to create an aura effect around a pawn? For instance, let's say I want a monster to appear on the map. The monster approaches another pawn. When the pawn is within so many meters of the monster, I want the pawn to suffer a mood penalty.

Is this possible? If so, how can I go about doing this? Are there examples out there?

Thanks so much for your time.

well some of the moodlets like "saw a corpse" and such seem to be distance related
there's probably something helpful codewise you could snoop into
