Why ?

[i3670]

Because the majority of the forum hate the flying naked guys.

Reason: They don't make sense.

No senseless jumpscares. Please.

Here's how to make teleporting naked guys:

Pu a human corpse in the editor where you want it (Set it inactive), and also put a script area (Call it scarearea) in the map where you want it to activate the flying naked guy. Name other things as you see below, and mess around with values to get your desired effect.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "scarearea", "jesus", true, 1);
}

void jesus(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("jesusnamehere", true);
AddPropForce("jesusnamehere", 0, 0, -9000, "world");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "noiseyouwanthere.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}

Although I've given you the means to do such a scare, I'd strongly, strongly suggest that if you want to make a serious custom story, you do not use the flying jesus scare. Just use it during your practice with the level editor if you have too.

I'd even go as far to say that you shouldn't add jumpscares without proper build-up to them. Like some have said before, add scares only if they are within the context of the story, and not out of place.

A jump scare is mostly caused by AddPropForce or SetEntityActive. Use the wiki to find their properties.

A jump scare must make sense, before you place it in the map. Otherwise it will get very unrealistic, and nobody really wants to play the map... Other that people who only wants a cheap scare.

Have you written a story for you CS? Because that might be a good idea. Story+scares+ambience = Gold!

I do have a very hard time thinking up situations where teleporting naked guys in your face will make sense though.

I can already see from a mile away that this will go out of control.

You want to make a jumpscare? Assure yourself that it WILL fit into your custom story's environment first.

Then we'll talk.

All I'm seeing is "flying jesus". And that is 900% worse!
