Jumpscares when looting a crate

Graveyards

The plugin comes with one graveyard built-in, you can also create custom grave yards. Graveyards spawn at night and are guarded by zombies. Inside you can find coffins with loot. They will burn down as soon as the sun rises.

To create a custom graveyard you first have to build one. Any deployable in the game can be added to a graveyard with some serving a special purpose:

Snowman: Placing a snowman in the graveyard will create a zombie spawn point at that position

Coffin: Every coffin will be filled with loot when the graveyard spawns. The loot can be changed in the config

To save a graveyard, go to the center of your graveyard and type /gy new . Now hit every object you want to include in your graveyard with a hammer. When you are done use /gy save to save the graveyard. To spawn the graveyard at night you have to add the name to the config field “Grave yard configurations to spawn”.

Junkpiles

Every junk pile can be customized with decorations. Out of the box the plugin comes with a default configuration for each junk pile.

To edit the decorations of a junk pile, use the command /jp where type is a letter from a to j each representing a different junk pile. A junk pile will spawn at your current position. To add objects to the junk pile just hit them with a hammer and use /jp save when you are done.

Custom jumpscare sounds

There are 2 default sounds for jumpscares: _scream and _laugh, you can also record custom sounds. To record a custom sound using the in-game voice chat, type /rec to start the recording and /rec again to stop the recording.

You can check you current recording by using the command /rec test. A ghost will spawn next to you and play the sound you just recorded.

To save your recording use /rec save . Now you can add the name of the recording to the config field “Jumpscare sounds”.
