Random Foxy Jumpscare?

[Moon]

I decided I wanted to play through the game with the House Map on, so I started up Night 1 and saw no animatronics, so I kept flashing my light behind me.

Then, out of no where, Foxy's red square appears in the closet, and then I got jumpscared.

Note that he didn't appear yet in the map, like he usually would, and no other animatronics were on the map either.

Is this a punishment for activating cheats? Or is it just because I kept flashing the bed?

Also, does Foxy even appear in Night 1?

If you sit at the bed for to long, that will happen. Foxy is not active in night one besides this

Foxy will enter the closet if you're not moving between the doors quick enough. Then you need to check the closet every once in a while to reset him (close the doors for about 4-6 seconds). Foxy would have attacked you because you weren't moving quick enough and/or you didn't check the closet.

Foxy does not activate in Night 1.

I don't think this happened because it was night 1, it was either a bug or an inactivity thing to keep you playing

Also since Foxy appeared randomly and then jumpscared me

Potentially to get you doing something if you just sat around doing nothing. Other than that I'm not too sure.

Foxy will attack you if you flash your light at the bed for too long (about 15 seconds). Once this happens, he will automatically warp to the closet and attack you right after. Flickering your flashlight at the bed will not prevent this; it will just make Foxy take a bit longer to kill you. You can see this in effect here: https://youtu.be/Dl5DbKZ4cw8?t=597

It is widely believed that Scott programmed Foxy this way to prevent players from idling at the bed for too long in an attempt to greatly mimimize Freddy's presence. It was an admittedly genius tactic.

Anyway, to prevent this, ALWAYS turn around after you're done flashing your light at the bed. Then, you can turn back around and flash the bed again.

However, I would have to do some further testing because I'm not sure that you can get away with spinning around in place for most of Night 1. Who knows?
