Strife alarm

The alarms in Strife are simply a notice for enemies. They are normally activated after the player fires a non-stealth weapon, which is any weapon besides the fist and the poison arrows. The alarm will sometimes start due to an alarm trigger (often a green doorframe). When an alarm goes off in town, all the shopkeepers and such will be protected by a white wall and  any Acolytes will be alerted and attack the player. Wherever an alarm goes off, the enemies know of the player's presence and attack. Some enemies do not obey the alarm and attack regardless. Most others, like Acolytes, will obey.
