Tell players they are getting warmer without the hint flickering

A "hot or cold" hint for a buried treasure sounds easy until the player stands on a line between two zones and the message jumps back and forth every step. This entry makes the hints steady and still honest about direction.

Why this works

People read a hint as advice, not as a measurement. Switching the message only once the player has clearly crossed into a new zone keeps it steady, so a step to the side never looks like a change of mind.

When not to use it

Don't give steady hints when the hunt is meant to be tense and the player should doubt every step, or when the treasure moves. Use a plain sound that gets louder as they close in, and accept that it wavers.
