2. You need much larger values (you also need to use prop force) for it to have any effect in game.
Try this:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "NAME_OF_AREA", "NAME_OF_FUNC", true, 1);
}
void NAME_OF_FUNC(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlayGuiSound("15_man02_whimp.snt", 1.0f);
AddTimer("t1", 1.0f, "TIMER_NAME");
AddTimer("t2", 3.0f, "TIMER_NAME");
}
void TIMER_NAME(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer = "t1")
{
SetEntityActive("flyingmale", true);
AddPropForce("flyingmale", 0, 25, 80, "world");
PlaySoundAtEntity("Player", "24_iron_maiden", "Player", 0, false);
}
if(asTimer = "t2")
{
SetEntityActive("flyingmale", false);
}
}
You may need to make the prop force values even large (most likely in the hundreds); each prop has different physics so those numbers should be tested and corrected accordingly.
Hope that helped

if(asTimer = "t1")
if(asTimer = "t2")
Fatal error-expressions must be of boolean type
wtf?

if(asTimer == "t1")
That should fix it.

A jump scare is mostly something that jumps right in your face while a scream of a girl-sound is playing...
People usually talk about the flying-jesus-scare... A naked man that comes out of nowhere while a scream-sound is playing...
I would say you should try working with normal scripts first... then you should be able to figure it out yourself, it aint that hard..

Anyway, I must give my opinion too: I don't like jumpscares either... Just so you know what to expect
when/if you upload the Custom Story
