How do I make a jumpscare?

I need to know how to make a jumpscare for game i’m in the process of making.

Before you say “SeArCh BeForE yOu pOsT” I already did, none of the guides have pictures. It’s a bit complicated to follow the guides without pictures.

So, can someone help me with making a jumpscare system please? (With Pictures.)

idk about pictures, but…

Its pretty simple
a player enters a zone
zone device broadcasts on “scary”
jump scare activated on “scary”

will do pictures later.

Okay now that I reread it, that was probably the least helpful reply ever, but for extra information, the jump scare would be like some barrier art, or a custom shape device, etc

OR A JOB :scream::scream::scream:

The way i’d personally do it is make a somewhat cutscene like system

I made a quick guide for a previous topic

Just switch each screen for a frame of the jumpscare and set the wire repeaters to go through the cutscene fairly quickly

Depends, how many frames per second would you like? Max 10

About how many would I need to have to make it look like it’s still and be on the players screen for like 5 seconds?


Barrier and props.

start by making a button/zone/ idc what you use to start the jumpscare
wire it to a teleporter and a string of 25 wire repeaters that each have their own teleporter

i’m lazy to wire them all up so i only did the first 2 :P


each teleporter will teleport into some sort of barrier/prop art that will cover the entire screen, those are your frames

each one will have slight differences like irl animation

I’m not actually gonna make any frames, so just assume the barrier outlines are frames


one last step to clean up any bugs

1.set the players speed 0 when the jumpscare starts, and back to 1 when it ends
2.Place one last wire repeater to set the speed to 1, but also to return the player where ever you want them

Tips

  1. Use camera view if you want
  2. Give each frame plenty of space
  3. If you’re having trouble placing the teleporter in the same spot every time, use grid snap
  4. Keep everything organized! you’re making 25 frames!

yea that’s all i have to say, sorry if it’s unclear, i made this in 10 minutes :|
btw i’m still here, feel free to interrogate me
