This is a really simple but fun addition. It does make me wonder how possible it would be to script the witch instantly retreating upon spawn, to complete the effect

no, itll just summon 2 hordes

@Geebanger0 I have a question.
This mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784783819
Could it interfere with your mod's mechanics?

Part of me can't help but feel that "[X] disturbed the Witch" could be replaced with "Here they come..."

You could make it so that when the Witch enters ACT_TERROR_WITCH_IDLE_PRE_RETREAT, the horde appears (just an idea), I like the fact a horde spawns when she's startled (like a Bride Witch).

i have seen it happen before as a bug, though im not sure how to make it happen intentionally. though in fairness, this isnt meant to replace witches with screamers, just add the extra horde summoning mechanic to her. i believe there is another script or plugin you might like that is a full screamer replacement

is there any way for her to run away and then scream? i kinda find it overwhelming to fight her alongside a horde. after all the screamer was supposed to find a safe place to summon a horde.

that is a good idea i might make that

It'd be cool if there was a AOE where in a specific radius, the scream staggers you backwards

The Ethot calls her simps to attack her critics.

Neat

@Xeno :] its triggered on startle so that you have a chance to play around it

@something something house no, only the bride

but dont the witch already do this?

V TBF so can the bride, so it's not really a problem. And besides, the Screamer was meant to be killed BEFORE he could alert a horde. Killing the Witch before she's startled could result in that, just use Improved Witch AI if you want her to break free from stuns..

Gee trigger it when she's dead. The current one can be bypass by explosive without alarming her.

@Geebanger0 This'll go along perfectly and dangerously with @MANACAT's https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784783819&searchtext=mega+mob+script! Awesome work, as always, @Geebanger0!!!

You can also add certain special infected spawn if you want, to make it look funnier, like when a witch screams, her angry husband (either hunter, smoker, or charger) or her son (jockey) shows up behind her (using "ZSpawn" with location behind witch)

& I think Spitter would also look cool with this buff, like, when she's spitting (using "ability_use" event function), she'll trigger sound ("EmitSoundOn") of witch's scream & horde will show up. So she'll become more annoying as horde will cover her retreat after spitting acid.

Fr fr XD

they stole it from me in advance

I think there still some servers use this mechanic, it's pretty nice.

i cant be bothered changing it tho

yeah thats probably a better name for it

Awesome stuff. So it basically gives her the Bride Witch's crescendo event ability.
