[Tutorial] How to fix solo quick revive (so that zombies don't pile up on you) in Mapping

PLEASE NOTE: This topic is NOT a guide on how to add solo quick revive to your map. This fix is ONLY for if you are using Bam's Black Ops Perks in your map and have already added in solo quick revive. I also take no credit for this fix, as it is in Bam's original tutorial and all credit should and will go to him.

You can find Bam's tutorial on how to add black ops perk into your map here:

We've all seen it. That 80% of customs maps that have solo quick revive that doesn't help you in any way, shape, or form. If you're now thinking about a hundred zombies piling up on top of you while you're down, just waiting for you to get back up so that they can instantly knock you right back on your ass, then you're correct!

We all hate that....so why does this problem keep reoccurring? I'm guessing when people read Bam's tutorial for Black Ops perks, they get too overwhelmed and excited to have some fresh, new Black Ops perks in their map, that they completely ignore a very important part of his tutorial. (Or there may be a problem with Script Placer Z, but I don't use that so I can't be sure)

Anyway, this fix is insanely simple and I would really like for new mappers to see how easy the solution is:

- Go into zombiemode.gsc and add this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.revive_point = getEnt("revive_retreat_point","targetname");

Directly under:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode_blockers_new::init();
maps\_zombiemode_spawner::init();
maps\_zombiemode_powerups::init();
maps\_zombiemode_radio::init();	
maps\_zombiemode_perks::init();
maps\_zombiemode_tesla::init();
maps\_zombiemode_dogs::init();
maps\_zombiemode_bowie::bowie_init();
maps\_zombiemode_cymbal_monkey::init();
maps\_zombiemode_betty::init();
maps\_zombiemode_timer::init();
maps\_zombiemode_auto_turret::init();

- Now open your map in radiant and add a script_origin where you want your zombies to run to when you go down (for best results, put it in a corner or somewhere players will most likely not be)

- Now press 'N' on your keyboard and enter this KVP:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

targetname : revive_retreat_point

- Save and close your map.

You're done!
