[TUTORIAL] Zombie Risers From The Ground

[Cinnober]

This is tested with mod tool v1.4 and Sniperbolt scripts v1.4 and game patched to v1.7






1. Create zombie spawner. Rightclick in 2D view and select actor->axis->zombie->ger_ber_sshonor

Give these KVP´s:

Code: [Select]

spawnflags / 3
script_forcespawn / 1
count / 9999
script_noteworthy / zombie_spawner
targetname / YOUR_ZONE_NAME_spawners
script_string / riser
2. Create a script_struct (rightclick in 2D view and select script->struct) and place it half way in the ground where you want the zombie(s) to spawn.

Give it KVP:

Code: [Select]

targetname / YOUR_ZONE_NAME_spawners_rise




That should do the trick.


Optional Info


If you wanna get your zombie rise from water, add this KVP to the script_struct :

Code: [Select]

script_noteworthy / in_water
If you wanna get your zombies chasing you without breaking any barriers down, add this KVP to the script_struct :

Code: [Select]

script_noteworthy / find_flesh
NOTE !
You can´t use the find_flesh and in_water KvP at the same time without custom scripting !!

How do you make it rise from water & start chasing you without windows, like in Shi No Numa? I tried

script_noteworthy =

find_flesh, in_water
in_water, find_flesh
find_flesh_in_water
in_water_find_flesh

but none of them work.

to chase u without tearing down windows its

script_noteworthy       find_flesh

and i believe its

script_noteworthy       in_water

[ADDICTED]

Will that make them come out of water & chase you without unboarding windows? Cus the normal code of find_flesh is script_noteworthy, not script_string... nvm ill go test it...

[Crackshot]

oh i see u want them to do both.  well im not sure how to make them rise from water also, never tried it.  All i know is u give the script_struct a targetname and then  script_noteworthy    find_flesh to chase u without breaking down windows.  Ill have to give that a test and see what i can come up with

[ADDICTED]

Yeah. I know you CAN cuz they do it in Shi No Numa...

so what part of the blocker to i connect it 2??

[Cinnober]

I know my tutorial isn´t perfect..so I would recommend you to follow these tutorials since zombie risers needs workings zones etc.

ok, working now

[cjdog]

i tried it, there are yellow lines, but when i start all that happens is that it starts ending and starting roundes one after another.............................................

When I fixed your pathnode problem I noticed that you didnt have zones but your scripts were for 1.4 but you have your zombies kvp's for a prototype map. Theres nothing wrong with that but I just need to know what style of zombies you want risers for because there's different kvp's for the zombies in the different style maps. 

[cjdog]

ooookkkk... thats.. confusing at best, so.. what do i do? i have no idea how to get zones and risers working. Risers means they rise out of the ground like on verruckt, rite?

[Crackshot]

Yes, most common way to do things for 1.4 is to setup zones for your zombies.  Heres a .map example on how to setup zones and 2 threads on how to set up the zones if your interested.  Once you decide on what way you want to do your map post on here and ill give you a tutorial on how to set up risers.
