Hi @Brent_Reddick! Can you please describe what you try to achieve and what your problem is?

3

ok I want it where when the enemy attacks it triggers a jumpscare

4

To me a ‘jumpscare’ is a broad term, so I’m not really sure what you mean by that.

5

Like for a horror game

6

I request you make an ai that listens for sound instead of searching (sight)

7

@Brent_Reddick I think @Albertos is looking for a little better description in order for someone to help. Could you provide a little more context like… When a player gets close to an enemy I would like the player to jump in air and back. Or When an enemy and player get close the enemy jumps and scares player. Sound? Do you have any videos or examples we can look at?

You can prepare something in the editor and keep it disabled. When you need it you can enable it by script.

// initialize
this.gameOver = false;
this.jumpScareEntity = this.app.root.findByName('JumpScare');

// function
if (!this.gameOver) {
    this.gameOver = true; 
    this.jumpScareEntity.enabled = true;

    setTimeout(function(){
        window.location.reload();
    }.bind(this), 5000);
}

I have no idea what you have in mind. Do you have an example?

15

like from Five Nights At Freddy’s

16

something like this?

17

I would start with just a fullscreen image and maybe a sound effect. If you are done, you can also apply a script to let the image shake a bit.

ooh ok

19

um what about this

ok so you have an example of that?
