Slenderman type enemy?

[Belblindd]

Awesome! Now we only need to get rid of the Goromorgs lantern so we can use him to stand behind us without spoiling himself with the light!
And no attacking of course!
A small cameraShake would be cool when you look at the statue... just for shits and giggles...

Here's my video... I know slender down not move like this, but was just to get an idea of a script

I know I'd sh-... Soil my pants if I encountered that in a dungeon out of the blue.

Also reminds me of the one, the legendary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13YlEPwOfmk

I've included it in one of my puzzles
I soiled my paints with my own 'slanderman': once I found he was behind me where he wasn't supposed to be... D:
The script was fine, and I could not understand why sometime It was behind me...
Well that was scary... it turns out I placed by mistake an item on a pressure plate I use to move him

[crisman]

I've redone the slender script and now it will move a tile every couple of seconds, rather then teleporting itself right behind you, but only if you don't stare it...

Watch out, it bites!

If you want it to try it - I just made it short time, so it probably has bugs! - just take this script, place a timer with a low interval and connect it to this script (slenderman)!

Code: Select all

function slenderman()

if check() then
slendyMoves()
end

end

function check()
--check if slender can move, aka the player do not see it
--local dx, dy = getForward(party.facing)

if ((slender.x-party.x)^2+(party.y-slender.y)^2)^0.5 == 1 then
death()
	return false
end

	return true
end

if party.facing == 1 and party.x > slender.x then
	return true
end

	return true
end

if party.facing == 3 and party.x < slender.x then
	return true
end

return false
end

--let's move ol' Slandy

	case0()

slender.y == party.y + dy then
for i = 1, 4 do
if party:getChampion(i):isAlive() then
party:getChampion(i):damage(1000, "cold")
hudPrint(party:getChampion(i):getName().." was caught by the Slenderman!")
break
end
end
end
end

Works better in rectangular/squared places! If you try it in other places It may acting weird and disappearing behind some walls - or make the game crash... I've warned you!
Because it can't avoid walls at all...
Let me know if you encounter some problems!

I wonder if there's a way to remove a player entirely during play.

Thanks, crisman, for helping me out yesterday. I'm glad to see you revisited this!

EDIT: I added a small camerashake to my Slenderogre: Check it out! (It's much easier to see in high def)

[crisman]

@SpiderFighter That is fantastic!! The atmosphere is really good indeed!!

@Neikun I believe it's possible! There is a script Champion:setEnabled(enabled) and with it you can enable or disable a champion, but I'm not too sure
if it's possible during a normal gameplay. Maybe I'll give it a try this evening!

You may want to look into Grimwolds new still animation for the ogre, too.

OOH...PLEASE tell me it's crouched before an attack!! Where? [EDIT: Nevermind, found it! Thanks for the heads up!]

@SpiderFighter That is fantastic!! The atmosphere is really good indeed!!

Thank you kindly! Coming from you, that is a high complement!

I'm wondering if there's another way this could be used:

Since we know we can move an object based on the player's location, how about moving it when the player is next to the object and turns toward it. Throw in a pressure plate and an object check, and you have your classic sliding statue puzzle.

Whaddaya think?

Here y'go.

Found it, thanks! Odd that it didn't tell me you'd already posted when I did my edit.
