Indeed, if you manage to get far away enough from him, he will usually teleport to a nearby room and resume chase.Glitch wrote:Fun fact: 096 can and will teleport to get to you.
I think it would be pretty cool to see 096 staggering around the pocket dimension after you, half corroded and having chunks of bone exposed and an eye missing. Even better if you escape and he stays that way.LittleOldMan wrote:Why cant we just put it in the same room as SCP-017 or send it to the pocket dimension?
Is that on purpose or is it a GLITCH?Glitch wrote:Fun fact: 096 can and will teleport to get to you.
Teleportation in a pathfinding algorithm greatly reduces the situations where 096 can get stuck, besides he only teleports to room nodes after a significant distance. Also, is it not cannon to have 096 chasing you equate to an unavoidable death?spartan322 wrote: Is that on purpose or is it a GLITCH?
No, but really. That makes the game a pain. Sure, 096 is supposed to be a death sentence, but it would be more fun to be able to outrun him or something, so you can still play the game while been hunted. Him teleporting makes him be more deadly, but in an unfair way.

What makes a gun deadly to humans? The fact that it can make holes in vital organs, causing them to not work properly anymore (not to mention the spilling of the acidic content in the body) and thus resulting in inevitable death. Now, what makes you think the scps, even if they look humanoid, possess the same body structure? And indeed, whether they even have vital organs in their body?theunbeholden wrote:What I don't get is why don't those things die when they get shot.. I can buy them having great unnatural powers.. but invulnerable to deadly projectiles? That stretches credibility unless you can physically see an armored carapace surrounding them... or if its metal object like some of the SCP's.
SCP-096 would have to materialize in order to grab you and take you into its world so I don't buy that.
I know it makes sense to make the creatures ungoldy scary by making them really difficult to kill and even harder to trap, but it stretches the credibility of even a made up universe if there is no logic to it. A universe must function on its own set of rules, explanations, and be consistent with that. No logic at all means we won't believe it. If we don't believe it then we won't be invested, that means we won't be scared.
It's the classic mistake of horror movies to make nothing but unlikable characters, we won't be fearful for them when they are about to be killed so instead the movies rely on jump scares that are only momentary events.. not any lasting impact.
