Advanced Shadow Guy Feature Ideas
Since there isn't a discussion for feature ideas, I will start this thread.

An idea I have is that he can play sounds that may lure the player, like doors creaking or health kits and suit batteries. He could also have a chance to whisper in your ear, and when he is chasing you, he could turn your camera in his direction, which would disorient the player and increase tension.

settings for shadow guy and maybe other SNPs can see and attack the shadow guy

and also maybe a ability for the shadow guy to turn of all lights and throws props everywhere (if its in a mag with those things)

There's a 2% chance the Shadow Guy will turn off all the lights!

You mean like the ability for the players to customize things such as the re spawn timer, and all the chances?

another suggestion, which is it can Kill npcs and SNPs and if it can be coded, It will disappear, and "go" into their skin, flickering light switches before turning them off, the dead snpc or npc will have glowing red eyes, and go to grab the player, in which it will do the same as it did to the npc, but i dont know if it can be coded sadly,

continuing it: if the shadow person is in a player, there will be a few new things, if the player spots it, it will roar, and will give a text saying "HIDE" the player has a few seconds to hide under things, in vents, the shadow will break doors, and flicker lights, if found, the player will be grabbed, and killed, and then placed in a certain place, ready to use.


Second function, "NECROMANCY." the dead body which the shadow placed could be revived by the shadow, to jump scare, and to chase the player,

finished for the suggestion now

Give it a stalking mode. It follows from behind, making the noises that original shadow guy did (if you ever decide to add sound). If you turn around to look at it, it goes into Charge mode. You either have to wait until it disappears or finds something better to do, because looking at it is a bad idea.

Custom options like disabling it being able to kill you would be nice
