I Just Coded my First Jumpscare

And this is how I feel about it.
Spoiler below!
[Image: b277u.png]
To those of you who are wondering, when you pick up a crowbar, a Brute jumps out of a closet with the lurker door hit and iron maiden sounds playing, and it kills you.

EDIT: Posted this because I hate jumpscares and had the nerve to code one :l

So...why don't you just change it into something else?

I know I can, but it's scarred me. IT'S SCARRED ME, MAN. IT'S SCARRED MY SOUL.

You will get used to it... Try playing some other custom stories. Sometimes you will meet flying naked men. Other times you will meet even better (And more realistic) scares... Learning by doing...
Trying is the first step to success.

Also, wrong section, could a moderator move this to the Development subforum and not the Development Support subforum? Thanks Smile

not sure if trolling, or serious. a teleporting barrel, why. this jumpscare is on the same lvl as teleporting naked guys. and i'm sure many people already did this.

the poof would be useless, because i think, he only made this jumpscare/death, because it has an important meaning for the storyline.maybe after you got attacked, you wake up somewhere else? if i'm wrong, sorry.
Working on a full conv.-mod, first pictures coming soon...

I'm not sure you understood the post. I posted that I coded it, and I sincerely regretted it afterwards. I don't like jumpscares. I'm new to coding, and I was seeing what I could do.

People like you make me wish parents actually paid attention to the ratings on games. :/
