Title: How to add a Zombie Counter
Post by: Dust on October 02, 2014, 06:16:12 pm

For some reason, UGX does not have a tutorial for a Zombie Counter so after seeing the topic that was made today asking how to add a Zombie Counter I decided to make a tutorial for it.

Credit to MakeCents for this updated zombie counter.

1.Open up zombiemode_spawner found in mods/maps, if you dont have it in there then it should be in raw/maps. Copy it and paste it to mods/maps.

2. At the top you should see

init
{

Under the breacket put

thread ZombieCounter();

3. Now look for

zombie_death_event( zombie )
{
	zombie waittill( "death" );

and replace the entire function with this

RoundStart(){
	level.zombieCounterText = "Zombies Left: ";
	level.ZombiesLeft SetText(level.zombieCounterText + "None Yet!");
	UpdateZombieCount( "intro_hud_done", 3);
	while(1){
		UpdateZombieCount("between_round_over", 1);
		wait(.1);
	}	
}
UpdateZombieCount(notification, waiting){
	level waittill(notification);
	wait(waiting);
	numberOfZombies = level.zombie_total + get_enemy_count();
	level.ZombiesLeft SetText(level.zombieCounterText + numberOfZombies);
}
ZombieCounter(){
	level.ZombiesLeft = create_simple_hud();
   	level.ZombiesLeft.horzAlign = "center";
   	level.ZombiesLeft.vertAlign = "middle";
   	level.ZombiesLeft.alignX = "center";
   	level.ZombiesLeft.alignY = "middle";
   	level.ZombiesLeft.y = 230;
   	level.ZombiesLeft.x = -1;
   	level.ZombiesLeft.foreground = 1;
   	level.ZombiesLeft.fontscale = 8.0;
   	level.ZombiesLeft.alpha = 1;
   	level.ZombiesLeft.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 );
   	thread RoundStart();
}
zombie_death_event( zombie )
{
	zombie waittill( "death" );
	level.ZombiesLeft SetText(level.zombieCounterText + (level.zombie_total + get_enemy_count()));

4. Build mod, and your done

Does anyone know how this counts towards your hud elements? Is it two per player?

Seperate hud for the words `Zombies remaining` another for the count, very old script.

I thought so.

Thanks. I'll PM OP with alternative solution, with one hud element, I've made, if they are interested.

Sure I would be interested in that, this is just the script ive used for ages now, and yes it is very old. Would be nice to have a updated version

Updated the tutorial with the one MakeCents gave me

zombie_death_event( zombie )
{
	zombie waittill( "death" );
	level.ZombiesLeft SetText(level.zombieCounterText + (level.zombie_total + get_enemy_count()));

you missed a } at end of bottom line

If you mean to close the zombie_death_even function then it is that way on purpose. You are not to replace anymore in that function, and especially not the last }, other than this:

zombie_death_event( zombie )
{
	zombie waittill( "death" );

They must have done something wrong then. Either they didn't replace the section off code above and just pasted it in, or they deleted too much of the function. If they are still having issues, please tell then to pm me. They can send me their _zombiemode_spawner.gsc and I will make it work for them.
