*insert 9 page rant on how horrible jumpscares are here*
RE: JumpScares - The chaser - 09-14-2012
Oh, let him say whatever he wants! People is free to do things. Otherwise the tools wouldn't be released. If he wants to do jumpscares, let him! Yes: I'm a fan of the serious custom stories, with a story, and with all the stuff that makes them cool, but... I think that sometimes a cheap jumpscare story is never bad!
So, What do you want: A flying jesus that spawns in the middle of the players face, a flying jesus that just appears and then flies to the player? I'm opened. In any case, you should mess with
SetEntityActive("jesus", true);
AddPropImpulse("jesus", 10, 0, 0, "world");
Please, don't flame me. But, well, he has the right to know it.

The community is against those kinds of jumpscares. Why do you think flames are spreading each time someone says "naked man" or "flying jesus"?
And like I said, it ruins a custom story completely. PDP maps ALWAYS have that.
If you want jumpscares, make sure they fit into the custom story's universe. Otherwise, forget it.
My custom story had jumpscares, but no "flying jesus" parts.

I was just saying that people is free to do those scares. Yes, I know that the community is against that kind of jumpscares (even me!) but either if I'm agree or not I will help him. Jumpscares are never bad, but they have to be manipulated with caution. I love serious stories, really, but sometimes I just play jumpscare stories. It is just my perspective.

Over-confidence makes you careless.

Sorry, I don't get the "Over-confidence makes you careless."
Sometimes I'm very short, I apologize.
RE: JumpScares - Robby - 09-14-2012
If you are too confident in yourself while making a custom story, you'll make quite some big mistakes.
BTW, how do you make yourself invisible? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
RE: JumpScares - The chaser - 09-14-2012
Invisible? What do you mean? This time I'm completely lost, really.
RE: JumpScares - Robby - 09-14-2012
Never mind, I figured it out.
RE: JumpScares - The chaser - 09-14-2012
I'm invisible? Didn't notice it.
