I'm making a horror game, and i need something to trigger jumpscares and trigger chases. I have a randomized spawning in some parts. Also, how would I do the animatic for the jumpscare?

Lets say you are making FNAF, You could search up something like this “Bonnie Jump Scare GIF” then download it, Then make a new sprite where its the jump scare, Press import Costume and pick the GIF, It will automatically turn it into frames, but here comes the hard part. You have to time it where its runs the same speed as the GIF. The code is down below!

I hope this works!

I'm an avid dev, so I can help with that!
You'll want to get the sprite first(either made by you or someone else)
then, you can string together parts of animation, which is what I do
here's the code I usually use:

hope it helps!

umm that would just instantly go to the frame that was at 5-20…
Maybe add a

Block

Thank you! How would I trigger the jumpscares/chases though?

maybe when its to late to close the door then just broadcast jumpscare??

I advise to not make a jumpscare at all, because it's against the community guidelines to do so.

Let me show you the script I use to trigger it:

Then, when you want it to continue, replace “In-Game” with “char_reset”.

you can make a button to turn them off, so you don't really have a spot in this forum, and I'm saying that because sometimes we need to rebel to get our way. Apparently, ST can talk about Racism and POLITICS, but WE, as scratchers, can't make horror game projects.

i unfortunately cannot help you with this as jumpscares are against the community guidelines.

scratch is for kids

Thank you guys! I did read over the guidelines, and I think it's appropriate to have a setting ( i do this for a lot of things, like deaf mode, where it doesn't speak it says it in speech bubbles,) to where jumpscares can be turned off. And the jumpscares will not be very frequent, like they are in FNAF games. They are easily avoidable.

No problem, my friend! If you could offer help, I'm making a “TOO MANY NIGHTS” esque game and need help with one of the main parts. Here's the forum if you need it:

Don't make it too scary; jumpscares go against the community guidelines because Scratch is for children

Jump scares are not allowed on Scratch unless the user explicitly specifies that they are ok with it. For example, if you had a button that the user had to press in settings to enable the jump scare. For ideas, please create a new topic in the Project Ideas forum: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/9/
