Smell is one of the characteristics of a creature. Each creature type has a distinct smell and an odor level, which defines how much these creatures, well, smell. An odor level of zero means that creature doesn't smell at all. In order to check whether a second creature can detect a creature's smell, its odor level is compared to the former's sense of smell as defined by the smell trigger parameter. If the odor level is lower than the trigger, the first creature can't be smelled by the second one. The default smell trigger is 50; notably, humans are at 90 as a way to show their lower-than-average sense of smell. A creature at 10000 has no sense of smell whatsoever.
