The one for swing door is for cinematic or more flexible purposes like positioning in the level editor and width/weight but this one spawns with the script but does not kill the play. How can i fix that?I don't think I understand the purpose of the script...

Nevermind i slapped it back into an enemy grunt in a new position and saved it as a new ent. My script is working again it changes levels correctly and there is about 2-3 seconds of looking at the monster from any distance before you die or unless you get to close.

Yeah uuh that's a channel full of music, but it still doesn't tell us which sound you're talking about ^^
Or was the question if there should be a sound at all? I think yes.
Or was the question maybe what sound we think would be appropriate? I'd say that depends on what it is exactly that kills the player. Does he suffer physical damage? (Like, I dunno...does looking at Slenderman make your head explode?) Or is he simply driven insane until his madness kills him? (Some wailing, surreal sounds maybe?) Does he hear the lost screams of all that died before him? Or maybe the Slenderman himself is capabale of making a sound? Just some ideas ^^

Also the music i'd be using is ( Scent of Night, Somethings wrong, MAYBE rising walls, wind wreck, MAYBE Eininring, Reversion) those are the main songs i have picked out at the moment.

Yeah what I meant was more along the lines of how you'd imagine the character to die if the story was real, y' know? Of course he simply gets damage and dies in the games logic
But if you think about what feeling you'd like the Slenderman to convey, it will help you choose an appropriate sound. If he's supposed to be more of a ghost-like entity that messes with your mind, you'd go for surreal, maybe static sounds (like in the original Slender Game), if he kills people by destroying their bodies, you'd go for bone-cracking sounds or flesh ripping apart, that sort of thing... you get the idea ^^
Personally I think you should maybe choose something that isn't too reminiscent of the original Slender Game (those static "white noise" sound effects) so your game stands out more in comparison and gets its own identity...
As for the music, I quite like it, but I think it is too "melodious" to be used as ambient music. I don't know the correct terms to describe it, but it sounds too much like an actual song instead of an ambient track. It would be good for special scenes (Like in one special story-relevant room or maybe during a cutscene) but I think you'll still need to find something that is better suited for just playing in the background and creating atmosphere.

How about some kind of dragging or moving sound? i'm actually pretty stumped there any suggestions?
