In the formulae below:

distance = Distance between the predator (the player or another animal) and the prey animal.
range = Predator's detection range (detectRange value), which can be reduced by taking Predatory Instincts.
fear = Prey's fear factor (fearFactor value).

A prey will be put on alert if: ${\mathit {distance}}<({\mathit {range}}\times {\mathit {fear}})$

The prey's alertness towards a predator is assigned each tick according to the following formula:

${\mathit {alertness}}={\mathit {alertness}}+{{\mathit {range}}^{2}-{\mathit {distance}}^{2} \over {\mathit {range}}^{2}}\times 50$

If ${\mathit {alertness}}\geq 100$ the prey will flee. Default alertness to predators may be hard coded currently.

-To Be Fixed up:
+In the formulae below:
+* ''distance'' = Distance between the predator (the player or another animal) and the prey [[Animals|animal]].
+* ''range'' = Predator's detection range (<code>detectRange</code> value), which can be reduced by taking [[Predatory Instincts]].
+* ''fear'' = Prey's fear factor (<code>fearFactor</code> value).
-How Does Fear Factor work?
+A prey will be put on alert if: <math>\mathit{distance} < (\mathit{range} \times \mathit{fear})</math>
-Range = Square of the predators (Players) detection range (reduced by taking predatory instincts)
+The prey's alertness towards a predator is assigned each tick according to the following formula:
-Distance = Square of  the distance between predator (Player) and the prey (animal).
+<math>\mathit{alertness} = \mathit{alertness} + {\mathit{range}^2 - \mathit{distance}^2 \over \mathit{range}^2} \times 50</math>
-if the Distance is less than the Range * prey's (animals) FearFactor then put the animal on alert,
+If <math>\mathit{alertness} \ge 100</math> the prey will flee. Default alertness to predators may be hard coded currently.
-How alert the prey (animal) is to this predator (player) is calculated by
-Alertness increases each tick by ((Range - Distance) / Range) * 50 (default alertness to predators, may be hard coded currently);
-if Alertness gets above 100 the animal will flee
