Water lurker won't move [SOLVED] - DeAngelo - 04-10-2013
EDIT: Ok, so I've been reading that lurkers can't patrol and only use path nodes to find you. Well crap. This would have been a good scare too. I'm gonna experiment with the "water splash" particle effect to make it look like there's a lurker moving. Still trying to find that blurry zoom in effect for my red goop though. I tried giving the player sanity damage but it doesn't look like it does in the main game when the stuff shows up.
EDIT 2: Got it the scare working. Took forever to script that sequence and it's like 100 lines long but it works
Not just gotta find that blurry zoom effect. I'm gonna pour through the engine script wiki trying to find it but let me know if anyone knows how to do it.
RE: Water lurker won't move - Adrianis - 04-10-2013
Are you referring to the very quick 'blurry zoom effect' when something scary happens, or the longer 'blurry zoom effect' you get when looking at the monsters?

void FadePlayerFOVMulTo(float afX, float afSpeed);
afX - multiplier of default FOV (1 is default)
afSpeed - the speed of change between FOV's
--
A shorter FOV makes it to zoom in. To change it to it's default state, the multiplier must be 1.

The one called 02_entrance_hall? Off to the side there are 2 sets of stairs that go down into what I think is cellars (Been forever since I played) and when you return from each some of that red slim shows up and a screen effect happens along with a specific sound. I'm trying to recreate that.

I'll try that out, thanks.
Edit: It's working. Threw in a radial blur for good measure and it's looking good. Haven't added slime damage areas yet but I think with a water lurker chasing ya the last thing you need is slime smacking you around (By the way the sound when that slime hits you in the main game always bugged me. it sounds like metal hitting something even though it's goo hitting flesh.) Thanks, you've both been big helps over these last months while I learn this stuff. And it turns out the sound I was looking for was Guardian Activated. Still not sure why Frictional chose to put half the sounds in convenient folders and the other half in numbered folders at seeming random.

If you ask me Water monsters were a HUGE downside to the game. And i wouldnt like to see anymore. *now people hate me :3*

While I respect your opinion, I disagree. They scare me far more than grunts/brutes. To each their own

just make a copy of the lurker and set its type to Enemy_Grunt
it probably works
