Looking out from a hiding place: the view should resist, not hit a hard wall

When the player hides in a wardrobe or under a bed, they should only see through the gap, but a view that suddenly stops dead feels like a bug. Here is a way to make the limit feel like a resistance, with no sticky corner and no way to cheat past it.

Why this works

A limit that is felt gradually reads as a hiding place that is tight; a limit that stops dead reads as a bug. Letting resistance grow toward the edge, but never holding the player back on the way in, gives the feel of a spot with little room.

When not to use it

Skip the softness when the player needs to aim or react exactly, as in a fight from cover; the sticky edge costs precious moments. A plain stop is clearer there. It is also wasted if the hiding place has an open front.
