Boss Fight Help in Help Desk

Created on: February 25, 2018, 10:06:40 pm

So I have a teleporter at the end of my map where players get teleported to a "boss arena" however I have no clue how I would script a boss and make him spawn when teleported there...

If you like to use my boss zombie, i could change the script for you, so that its compatible with your idea.

That would be very much appreciated. Im assuming i would be able to edit things like the model and movement speed correct?

Basically, I would need it to spawn in a specific zone when it is activated. In my case the zone is called zone_boss but is activated with script_flag/enter_zone_boss... again thanks alot

Yes. You are able to change everything like speed, health, model, fx and so on. I'm not at home, so i'll post the script later on here. (to spawn the zombie in the arena)

I remember there was something wrong with this napalm mod. Does the napalm zombie deal correctly radiusDamage instead of doDamage, if you are going to use the napalm explosion?

I think I still see the line of code which is causing the problem.

if(self.health>damage) self DoDamage( damage, self.origin, zombie, zombie );

The "self" in this function is the player and when the player's health is very low it will activate the singleplayer's defeat.
I were you I should change "self" to "zombie" or change DoDamage to RadiusDamage. I think don't think I have to explain it further.

I just use doDamage if the player's health is bigger than the damage. If the player has less health the else-statement uses radiusDamage to kill the player and prevant the singleplayer restart. But i havn't tested the script that much in coop, so you could be right.

So would i download your older version, install it, and then replace the .gsc with this?

I think that i corrected it a while ago. Can you tell me exectly what lines of code you are talking about, if the mistake is still there?

Yes. You are able to change everything like speed, health, model, fx and so on. I'm not at home, so i'll post the script later on here. (to spawn the zombie in the arena)

If you want the boss to spawn after you activate a trigger, you can use something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

 napalm_spawn_cycle()
{
trig = getEnt("boss_trigger","targetname");

trig waittill("trigger" );
thread spawn_napalm();

}

So would i download your older version, install it, and then replace the .gsc with this?

It's the same code as the one from the download. Just replace the function like i wrote above.
