Distracting Hack, Feint,

[Zwordsman]

Howdy howdy.

Distracting Hack, mechanic trick, allows for a ranged skill that functions as a feint attack using Comp skills. WIth it usually being an image, noise, flash, etc..

Normal Feint only works against sentient things correct?

What sort of stuff doesn't have an Int score?
So undead..?
Though I would have thought a blaring noise, or strobe would still distract an undead (unlike a normal feint move.. which i imagine would fail because they care not

Trying to figure out how useful it actually would be.. along with if improved feint would be worth while.

(random sidenote.. paizo's autocorrect doens't know Paizo nor undead)

Feint
You can use your standard action to feint by attempting a Bluff
check. The DC of this check is equal to either 10 + your opponent’s
Sense Motive total skill bonus or 15 + 1-1/2 × the opponent’s CR,
whichever is greater. You can’t feint against a creature that
lacks an Intelligence score, and you cannot take 10 or take 20
(see page 133 in Chapter 5) on a Bluff check to feint. When you
successfully feint, you treat your opponent as flat-footed for your
next attack against him before the end of your next turn.

Distracting Hack (Ex)
D You can hack a computer within 30 feet of a foe to distract
that foe, such as with a sudden noise or an image. You must be
able to access the computer (whether it is your own computer
or you are within range to access one manually or via remote
hack). This functions as a feint action except that it uses your
Computers skill instead of Bluff, so you can apply the benefits
of Improved Feint and Greater Feint if you have them.

No, Distracting Hack "funcions as a feint action", so it doesn't work on any more or less creatures than regular Feint.

Also, Undead don't inherently lack an Intelligence score, but Vermin and Ooze do. There are Mindless Undead, though, such as Undead Minions.

That's not Paizo, that's on your end.

1) Paizo distinguishes only working on sentient things (sense-dependent) from only working on thinking things (mind-affecting). Just want to be explicitly clear here, as I'm not 100% sure what you mean by sentient. Feint only works on thinking things, due to it not working on anything with Int -, but does ignore immunity to mind-affecting, and it is not sense-dependent.
2) Things with Int - include many constructs, all oozes, many undead, and all vermin. It also includes monsters of any other type that happen to be Int -, such as some Plants.
