“So I made it passive until you looked straight at it. And that was scary. Suddenly you could walk up to these looking beasts (they’re three meters tall) and watch them as they moved their blocks around, but as soon as you happened to look straight at them, they’d attack. And by “straight at themâ€, I mean putting the reticule on top of them. You can keep them visible on screen and actually look straight at them in real life, but as soon as your in game character looks straight at them, boom.â€
“I wanted something a bit more psychological. So to really drive home the point of looking at them being bad, I made the Endermen freeze and turn towards you when you look at them. As long as you look straight at them, they stand perfectly still and look straight at you. As soon as you look away, they will run (very fast) towards you.â€
It would be cool if other mobs ran away from it. Also, I wonder how smart it is? Or how good at moving blocks it is...
Either way it sounds awesome. I can't wait to meet one. It reminds me of that one thing... man i can't remember what it's called but i remember reading about something made up on the internet that moves when you're not looking at it.
