Other way around - A Luna - 09-20-2011
Wouldn't it be nice if the tables were turned sometimes? Ragequit because of scaryness and monsters killing you?
Well... I do. Anyway, wouldn't it be nice if you were the monster and you had to haunt the adventurous, simple minded character (Daniel) in the story? Hide in a dark corner and wait for the dude. Or randomly walk around where you know he sees you and eat him?
Your thoughts if this is even possible?

It may be possible but without access to the worlds coordinates via script it is not viable.
Besides, the NPC(Daniel) would just attack you on sight and if you set him not to, it wouldn't even start running.

Generally speaking that would also require a working human model. I've been away for a while so I don't know if that's been made.
Also, it sounds quite easy, doesn't it? It could be tremendous fun with good players, and, indeed, multiplayer support.
...Multiplayer non-co-operative horror game, impossibility?

Remind me Left 4 Dead, could be great in multiplayer mode !
But first : You'll need a human NPC with animations.
Second : I don't know if HPL2 is made for multiplayer games. But if you can do it and have a server, I think it could work.
Anyway, that is a great idea !
