Looking at monsters

[avalan]

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding looking at monster. As we all know, looking at monsters causes the monsters to notice us, but what I'm wondering, why is that? Is it because looking at monsters drains Daniel's sanity, or is it a completely separate in-game script? The reason I'm asking is because I really don't like this mechanic, and the same goes for sanity. I read that you can somewhat disable sanity by editing config file, but couldn't find anywhere in that file anything related to looking at monsters, closest thing I found was NearEnemyDecrease, is that it then?
