APOC Creatures

APOC Creatures brings unsettling encounters to your scenarios. This first release includes the Scarecrow Stalker. More creatures are planned for future updates to this same mod. CURRENTLY INCLUDED: SCARECROW STALKER An unarmed scarecrow that follows a living player through the map. It walks nearby, runs to catch up, and suddenly appears about two metres in front of the player when it reaches the 15-metre range. It faces the player and laughs, then waits before it can jump again. - Red glowing eyes. - Two creepy laughs and five spoken taunts with positional audio. - Fast tracking updates when the player changes direction. - Landing clearance checks and a jump cooldown. - Adjustable follow distance, jump distance, voice timing, and cooldown. - No attacks or jump-scare damage. Only the scarecrow is teleported. HOW TO USE Add APOC Creatures as a dependency of your scenario. Place the Scarecrow Stalker GROUP on navigable ground, then start the scenario with a living player character. Use Prefabs/Groups/Group_ScarecrowStalker.et in Workbench. The group supplies its following behavior; placing the character alone does not. It does not spawn automatically in every mission. Following depends on the map's navigation mesh. A blocked landing area prevents the jump until a clear spot is available. EARLY RELEASE Local Workbench following, jump placement, and sound playback have been tested. Dedicated-server and joining-client testing is still pending. Please report issues with the map, scenario, and reproduction steps. More creatures will be added over time. The scarecrow remains part of this collection.
