RE: Ever Been Scared by your OWN Custom Story??

There are times that the script I write doesn't work as expected which causes random events to occur, scares the sh*t out of me.
There are times I forget the scares I designed when or how it occurs, and while testing the level they scare the sh*t out of me.
There is one particular place, and even though I know what will happen there, I got carried away to exploration and it freaks me out.

Try to put ShowEnemyPlayerPosition behind a door in a maze, try to put patrol nodes. Enemy had to kill you in less than 5 seconds as expected, but if something goes wrong you always have to check what's the problem.

Never tried it but I will have in this actual map i'm doing. So, say me good luck :/

Definately. XD It's funny when you know where the monster is and when it'll come out, but it still scares you horribly. I was extremely terrified when I was testing Brute noises, and I put it in the wrong area, so when I started the map I immediately heard the Brute noise. I had to quit, I was scared. XD

Ba-da bing, ba-da boom.

I'm always scared when I test my map... It's the atmosphere of amnesia, that freaks me out,
doesn't matter if I know that the door will close, when I pick up the key.
I'm not made for this horror stuff, but I love to create it, that's why I continue :3

I made a note in a test map i made when i first started making custom maps, this note triggered a monster spawn. I decided i wanted a new note, so i ctrl D'd and changed the .lang file and position - to just at the otherside of the monster spawn, but when i tested it the monster spawed, and it scared the s*** out of me!

Yeah, when I want to look around at new areas I recently build I always walk through my map. Sometimes I just forget the script areas and they freaked me out more then once. Big Grin

RE: Ever Been Scared by your OWN Custom Story??

I was testing a scare, walking through an area which added a SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback. I tried it several times, walking back and through the area but it didn't work. So I relaxed, sure I had made something wrong. As I prepared myself to leave and test another part it suddenly worked. That scared me.

The scare can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXhjU0R1Yz4
3:10 into the clip.
