Description
NIGHTMARE TERMINUS
THIS NEXTBOT HAS AN IMPORTANT MENU LOCATED UNDER OPTIONS ON THE RIGHT OF YOUR SPAWNMENU!
The most advanced nextbot.
Nightmare Terminus is a nextbot based off of Terminus. He has many different modes you can toggle through and has many more behaviors than his predecessor. He is also equipped with a menu which makes him highly customizable to best suit your preferences.
He is located under the "Spoon Nextbots" category in the NPC menu.
The nextbot supports multiplayer.
It will not conflict with Terminus or any currently existing nextbot.
Note that this is only the base version of the nextbot, and that suggestions are very much welcomed, bug reports are appreciated, and future updates are to be expected.

DISCLAIMER
If you want to go in blind and want to find out what the nextbot does for yourself, I would highly suggest you do not read anything below and toggling off the "Prints text to the console" option in the menu. The menu is located under the Options tab in your spawn menu under Nextbots. If you have Reminos or Nominus installed, it would appear right next to their menus. Otherwise, knock yourself out.

The nextbot can get quite loud. It is nowhere near the loudest, but blasting the noises from this bad boy straight into your ears at max volume would probably do some substantial damage to your hearing.

Below is a very bare-bones outline of how he works, due to the character limit for workshop addons. If requested, I will publish a more detailed and in-depth version via forum post.




MODES
Nightmare Terminus has 7 modes you can choose from. Each mode will cause him to act differently. These can be toggled in the menu, however only one can be selected at once, as selecting multiple will not work.

Stalking
Nightmare Terminus will follow the player around until it sees them.

Wandering
Nightmare Terminus will aimlessly wander the map until the player is found.

Hiding
Nightmare Terminus will simply hide from the player the entire time.

Sneaking
Nightmare Terminus will do the exact same thing as if he was in the stalking function, however he will be completely silent while doing so in order to sneak up on the player.

Lingering
Nightmare Terminus will move very quickly to the player and will only stop once he has sight of the player. He will stay dormant and watch and follow the player from a distance until the player looks at him, where he will then strike.

Prowling
Nightmare Terminus will follow the player from a certain distance.

Randomized
This mode gives you the full package. Each time he goes to change modes, he will choose a random one from the six listed above. Each mode also has timers so when they run out, it will cause another mode change so that it doesn't get stale.




BEHAVIORS
Nightmare Terminus has a whole slew of different behaviors he can choose from. These behaviors are called randomly whenever the nextbot sees the player during one of the modes listed above.

Chase
This function will cause the nextbot to go into attack mode and begin to chase after the player quickly. This function has a lot of modifiers, which will be outlined in more detail in the Modifiers section.

Hide
The nextbot will run away and to find a hiding spot. Once the spot has been reached, the nextbot will begin one of its 6 modes.

Charge
The nextbot will jumpscare the player by quickly charging at them whilst playing the charging audio. Once the nextbot reaches the player, it will teleport them and shake their screen before teleporting away.

Lunge
The nextbot will lunge at the player, similar to charging, however will stop once getting close.

Follow
The nextbot will follow the player, always keeping a certain distance away. If the nextbot is touched in this state, it will not kill the player, but instead teleport and begin chasing the player.

Lurk
If you have ever heard of the Weeping Angels or SCP-173, you will understand what this function is. The nextbot will only move when the player is not looking at it. Else, it will stand completely still.

Mimic
While in this state, the nextbot will only move when you are moving. It will also jump whenever you jump. When you are not moving, the nextbot will move towards you extremely slowly.

Watch
It seems pretty self-explanatory. The nextbot will alert the player to let them know it is watching them and will simply look at them until the player looks back at it.

Stare
If you are looking at the nextbot, it will do nothing, but if you look away, it will disappear.

Stand Menacingly
Oh, you're approaching me? The way this function works is that once the nextbot sees you, it will just stand there, menacingly. However, if you approach it and get close, it won't be happy.

Fake Hide
Works just like Hide, but will attack the player if they look at him while he is hiding for too long.

Feign Retreat
Just like Fake Hide, but will attack the player even if they aren't looking at him.




MENU
Under the Options Tab in your spawnmenu, there is a Nightmare Terminus menu with many options.

MODIFIERS
These are options that can be toggled on and off to your liking. You can select as many as you want at once.

Spawn Nextbots
Nightmare Terminus will spawn other nextbots when finished chasing. In normal mode, Gargitron and Terminus will spawn. In Hard Mode, Father and Depressed will spawn along with them.

Slowdown
The nextbot can slow down when too close to the player. If Hard Mode is enabled, the nextbot will instead speed up if this is active.

Speedup
The nextbot can speed up when too far from the player to get closer.

Gravity Manipulation
The nextbot will change the gravity to a random value while chasing.

Impersonate
Nightmare Terminus can impersonate other nextbots while stalking.

Spawn Decoys
Nightmare Terminus will spawn two decoys of himself. One will act the same way as him but will only deal minimal damage to the player, and the other one will alert him to the player's location whenever it finds them.

Blindness
The nextbot can completely blind the player during the chases.

Speed Manipulation
The nextbot can change the speed of the player and itself during chases.

Cloak
The nextbot can occasionally go invisible. Works in any function.

Trick
The nextbot can trick the player during chases into thinking it stopped chasing them.

Hard Mode
Activates Hard Mode, altering the behaviors of many of the functions.

Prints when Stuck
Prints all its states when it is stuck. (For debugging)

Prints
This determines whether the nextbot prints anything to the console at all. Good to not clutter up the console.

Do Death
After killing the player 5 times purposefully, the death sequence will play. This will kick you from the map.

Yea like terminus is the main part of the mod, I don't understand him either.

@jord_kafa - I translated this and it says "Please remove Terminus". Unfortunately, your request is quite vague, and I'm not really sure what you mean. Could you please elaborate?

@jiggerman29 - That's odd. This doesn't happen to me. What is turned off should not be able to run. Do you have any other nextbots or addons installed that you may suspect could be causing conflictions?

As for the multiplayer, it is quite janky, and sometimes it just locks onto one person. I'm planning to try and improve this feature in the future.

In regards to the death sequence, thanks for the suggestion! I might make it so that you can turn off whether it kicks you from the map or not.

So for some reason he keeps doing setting that I turned off for him (or at least blinding and death sequence) and in multiplayer he just targets my friend, then after he kills him it has like a minute delay on the *turned off* death sequence. also I kind of feel like there should be a setting for the death sequence, but not have it kick you from the server.
