Interaction with the Environment is another thing which you have to look out something like splashes in water and a civilian walking in to something invisible. These queues are to help the players spot the enemy ninjas. If you use the focus ability around where you think the enemy is you may be able to see them while they are Invisible but only if he is in your field of view, if you fail to focus on your target you will take a smell debuff which will increase your chances of being seen.
