FNaF2's Unseen Mechanic 

Hey there! Could you tell me where you found the lines of coding? It looks really interesting and I would like to have them :D

@@SubliminalFeels I decompiled the game using CTFAK and opened the MFA with Clickteam Fusion.

@@itztaken Might there be a mod that restores this mechanic?

@@pwrsocket Buy him a new mic if you care that much. His mic is good as it is

@@itztaken Could you link it or make it more available please? This seems too complicated for me XD

Not only that, but them moving out of sight implies they're still around. I imagine anyone on their first playthrough would be on edge thinking these other hidden animatronics are somewhere in the level.

Gaslighting people into thinking they made it up cause they're scared lmao😊

or it could have been intentionally scrapped, so fans wouldn't think Shadow Freddy and a sertain other dark character were related, as the flashlight makes both go away, although despite removing it, fans still ended up being set on believing they're the same character... oh well, he tried Ig.

@@ender01o66 Who is the other character?

@@MechaKnuckles RWQFSFASXC

@@ender01o66 Oh yeah, I also doubt that they're related.

@@MechaKnuckles Nice :)

i remember it like it was yesterday

9 years ago? Man I feel old now

I swear, there's a comment like this about every game in existence.

this aint undertale bro

Mark my words: There's still a lot to discover, maybe even things that could entirely change the whole outlook on FNAF's lore, we can't say for sure what Scott was originally thinking about when making all this and he himself refuses to share that info either, we're still stuck with a lot of questions about the lore that don't have any valid proof even though there definitely should be an answer.

@@pustota7254 Oh lawd

It personally stuck with me for a while because it's the only time I was convinced that an easteregg that ended up being real was fake. I had personally already seen Shadow Freddy myself, and a friend of mine had seen Shadow Bonnie before, but neither of us had ever seen Endo 02 ourselves. As well as that, I had seen videos that _were_ fake going around of an "Endo 02 jumpscare". It never really occurred to me the jumpscare might be fake, but the rest may be real, becuase why would they add a secret character who can move rooms without ever allowing that character to reach your room? Just generally as well, it just so happened that in hours upon hours of FNaF 2 videos I'd watched, I had seen people naturally come across every other secret in the game (as in, they just ran into it while playing, they weren't going out of their way to make a video about the secret or to look for it), but the only time I ever saw Endo 02 was from people I'd never heard of making videos where they start a night and already find him like 2 minutes in, so it always seemed sus to me. I think it literally took until lke 3 years later for me to have that - wait... _that was real?_ - moment.

@@doublechindoge7 you could literally just look for him yourself, he is probably the easiest easter egg to find (I got him twice in the vent and twice in prize corner when I wanted to check if easter eggs are still active in custom night)

right?? hearing that made me wonder if i've ever succeeded in a single thing during my life

@@prismaticat I can't even lie, same XD

??

​@@prismaticat You have succeeded. 😁❤️

​@@draconic24You have succeeded. 😁❤️

Thanks!

Fnaf has a lot of content because it's great.

Too Long; Didn't Understand: There's a timer that would count up to 0.5s and trigger those secret animatronics to disappear (along with unused sound metalrun.wav). While testing, Scott put lines in that accidentally overwrite the timer, meaning it didn't end up being possible to trigger.

@@itztaken Hmm, Scott accidentally writing contradictory code that overwrites secrets in Fnaf 2 seems to be an ongoing theme

@@itztaken To be honest, at least as someone who's not a die hard FNAF fan this video IS really confusing. You say "the secret animatronics" at 0:25 but don't say what those are or show how they work in the game. From what you say right after I can assume that okay, they're a thing that must show up sometimes and then stick around and stare at you, but they were intended to only be there for a half a second. But even if I make that assumption I quickly lose the thread after that, the very next thing you say at 0:50 is "*this mechanic* was intended to happen when you see endo-O2..." and I just have no idea what "this mechanic" means. The secret animatronics were meant to disappear when you see endo-O2....? Because that contradicts the statement that they were meant to disappear after half a second. Then you say you "made the odds slightly more favorable" so I can assume you've modded the game to show off the mechanic but.... what odds? Nothing you mentioned so far seems to involve probability. just, you know, in case an outside perspective is helpful. I just kinda laughed when I saw this comment because I felt the exact same way, the puppet thing was the one clear, concrete, standalone fact that made sense to me in the video

@@Jack-sy6di Literally later in the video he talks about the odds of the 2 secret animatronics appearing in 3 cameras and they're very clearly focused on in the entire video. Endo-02 in the Left Vent 1/1000 chance of appearing as long as no REAL threat is in the vent. Endo-02 in the Prize Corner is around a 1/10 chance of appearing, but he only shows up if the Puppet (a character that is also talked about in the video) leaves the giant gift box that you are supposed to wind up within the Camera System Shadow Freddy in Parts and Service is also around a 1/10 chance of appearing as long as all the REAL threats that spawn in that room have left it. Shadow Bonnie (RWQFSFASXC) was not mentioned or focused on here because he does not appear in the Camera Systems and only appears in the office to crash the game if you don't pull up the Camera System quickly enough to make him disappear. The metalrun.wav sound effect has no reason to play for him and he can't cause a black out because he's not on the cameras. When he mentions "this mechanic" it can be inferred he's talking about the Secret Characters (again, Endo-02 and Shadow Freddy) disappearing when you look at them as he stated prior about looking at them for a certain amount of time they will disappear and play the sound effect. the "mechanic" is just the process of them disappearing within that short time frame. He explains then on how the intended "mechanic" of them disappearing and playing a sound effect when they do (as well as disabling the camera in that room for a few seconds) was broken and unintentionally overwritten due to different lines of code. One thing that he didn't outright state is how the Secret Animatronics work probably because he assumes most people that watch this are going to be FNAF fans. To explain it to you, FNAF games will often times have very rare events that happen that aren't really of any actual importance or threat to the player (with exceptions like Shadow Bonnie talked about earlier, another example of a character appearing in the office and crashing the game is Golden Freddy in FNAF 1 who falls under the same idea of a very rare occurrence that can end your game). These secrets may include screens that appear when you're booting up the game, mentioned within the video is the empty heads of Withered Foxy, Toy Bonnie, and Withered Freddy. Other games have those types as well. Secret Animatronics that don't do anything but randomly occur to throw off the player also appear in other games aside from FNAF 2. In FNAF 3 there is a rare chance that a Golden Freddy that's been muddled in green and other dark gross colors appears on the left side of that office, it's easy to miss and doesn't pose any real threat it's just there to scare you.

@@SleepyReapy32 What do you mean? He never shows the secret animatronics

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.

Mood

> that's really hard to tell it seems from the example you provided Yeah, it's funny how the sprite being fullscreen actually makes it harder to notice (not to mention it only showing up for a frame, and being effectively 18x rarer than the others).

Glad you liked it!

my whole life was leading up to that moment

@@itztaken lol xd you did well! also great videos!

remnants lmao

Makes sense because shadow bonnie and shadow freddy were shadow versions of Spring bonnie and fredbear, or something like that. Evidenced by one of the spring bonnie heads in the fnaf 4 minigames looking a lot like toy bonnie and also why its specifically toy bonnie and withered freddy or golden freddy, and why shadow bonnie has an extra set of top teeth for no discernible reason. So the shadow variant of spring bonnie, later becoming springtrap crashing your game makes a lot of sense, especially as foreshadowing.

Maybe Mike was actually dead all along and the games were meant to be his recollections of his life as he sits in purgatory? Before the Afton stuff, of course.

@@registeredpyromaniac Maybe. What if he was originally the purple guy?

@@cryxton3148 It'd be an interesting theory, but Fritz only being hired for night 6 and 7 shoots a hole through the theory imo. The authorities have a suspect at the time, and why would Fritz come back to mess with the Toy Animatronics if they're already being scrapped? Of course, this could be the reason why the animatronics are so much more hostile on the bonus nights. They know their killer is in the building...

@@registeredpyromaniac Which is why I believe Fritz is the fnaf 2 phone guy (the phone guys being separate is a can of worms i dont wanna get into)

@@cryxton3148 The reason I think Mike is the same as Fritz is due to the fact that they're both fired for being odorous. It may be the smell of blood and decay, which would add more credence to Mike being the og purple guy theory. Either way, it's a very intriguing theory.

how do people have a memory like this, I don't even remember that. when was that (assuming you remember {:})

@@itztaken it was his first Pizza Sim blacklisted video, when everyone was confused over what you had to do to get that ending

@@masterfig0077 Oh yup, it's funny how confident random people are about games they haven't even played lol

That sounds like an interesting idea! A little helper endo the guard uses to help deal with the animatronics!

@@rexspecificallyredrex64rem73 Yea! And with too much usage, it would become another animatronic to deal with

Calculated strategy to weed out the non-fans 😈 /s I realized I had memorized it a while back so why not use his canon name {:}

Tech Rules has been busy with IRL stuff and dealing with burnout, shit happens. They said recently that they're working on coming back to videos, so that dissecting FNaF sequel isn't entirely out of the picture.

I can't 100% confirm the exact sound is actually used, but the sound is in the files, so it probably is. Nice catch!

@@itztaken Thx for the reply! Also, is it possible to fix the code to make this mechanic work?

@@Digit4lSpace Well, considering I fixed it for this video, yeah. There isn't a mod or anything that fixes it though, it's incredibly minor.

@@itztaken oh xD sorry

back in the day, in the current day, and into the future

You're probably thinking of Mangle's movement sounds, metalwalk1-3. They're pretty similar, but not the same sound. freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Mangle/Audio

I think I'm gonna get r/wooooshed for this but.. it's barely 8 years old, although yes, it's still interesting.

Bro is a time traveler 💀

I've actually got something in the works about FNaF4 as a whole, so be on the lookout 👀

The toxic meter just changes the colour of the bar to red

Relatively easy. You just need to download a decompiler (CTFAK or Anaconda), disable the three lines that break it, and make it so the 'random image' counter is reset to 1000 instead of 0 to correctly reset the secrets.

Nah, there's no strings in that puppet hallucination.

well, he fixed it in this video

CTFAK

It's the same size and relative style as the animatronic AI sprites, and is located near them, which suggests some sort of easter egg or actual enemy. It could have been to track where you are on the cams but that uses a different object. There just isn't much else to go off other than the image, so unless Scott tells us, we can't know.
