Hi,

I'm trying to control the movement of zombie dogs, but SetGoalPos( origin ) doesn't seem to work like with zombies.
When I set goal position dogs doesn't move. But they will run towards a enemy if I don't set dog.ignoreall to true.

I can control the zombies this way, just not the dogs. Anyone know how I can make dogs run to a origin?

Thanks

So where is he?  ??? There's almost no trace of him.

I have no idea if i'm stepping into drama or not here, but couldn't find out anything on the forum, and was planning on using some of his awesome work in my WIP map.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've found a function that is not in "scripting reference" or anywhere on the forum when i searched for it.
It has been of help to me when trying to solve a few problems so I'll post it here for anyone that don't know about it. I think this comes under "General Help - Scripting"

Anyone else know of "unknown" functions that might be of use? Please post

---------------------------------------------------------------------

VectorFromLineToPoint( line_point1, line_point2, target_point);

This function "draws" an infinite line through the coordinates line_point1 and line_point2, and gives back the perpendicular vector from that line to the coordinate target_point.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I've found this useful a few times, but treyarch have used it to determine if an entity is in front or behind a player or character. In sniper_stealth_logic.gsc on line 257 you can see an example of that, the function is called "entity_is_in_front_of_me( target_entity )".

Hi,

Was wondering what people thought about "training" zombies in maps.

Personally I don't like it very much...I feel all the challenge and fun in a map can dissapear.
It can also become a bit repetative;)

Ofcourse a map can be very good with trainspots, but in general I feel this way.

Please vote and/or reply with thoughts.

Hi,

when making my map and trying to register damage done to zombies, I noticed that the shotgun damage you get from:

self waittill( "damage", amount, attacker, direction_vec, point, type ); 

is way lower than the actual damage a shotgun do, so if DT2.0 scripts only double the damage from this 'waittill', it only marginally increases shotgun damage.

Have anyone else noticed or checked this out?
I don't think it should matter if it's UGX or not because that damage number comes directly from the engine or?
Fairly new to cod scripting so please correct me if I'm way of?

I had to make a check for health pre damage and post damage to get around this on my map at least.

Thanks

Grid Lock is a tug-of-war style zombies map.  The map is divided in many "grids" which spawn zombies. If a zombie move through a grid in short enough time, it becomes unlocked and zombies spawn there. Players can lock these grids again from a already locked grid, by holding it for a time. In short, players try to push or hold the zombies back. There are different ways to move upwards in the map, and these ways connect a few times before getting to the end where pack a punch is located. Along these main paths to PaP, there are also alot of hidden rooms that can be opened which also connects in different ways. There is a mission/easter egg of sorts, which players need to finish to win.

Tips for new players:
-Use betties EVERY round....you can build up a "cushion" of bettys to absorb zombies when you loose control.
-Gamble as little as possible until you get to "tiered" gambles. You can get upgraded weapons from tiered gamble.
-Get betty and grenades as soon as possible.....the first rounds should be very easy if you do.
-Use the betties in locked grids and in dangerous spots, not in a random unlocked grid.
-Pull back as soon as the zombies get close, and never stay in a spot where you can easily get stuck or blocked off.
-Always reclaim a grid at the end of the round for safety and points.
-Watch the Grids Easy Explanation video above.
-Get points by rebuilding the windows in the bunkers.
-Find and shoot the perk "signs" and artillery pieces for points. You may get negative points but it is skewed toward positive points.
-Keep track of points and wallet limit!
-Try the wall-buy shotgun, you don't get less points for using it. And snipers are op if your aim is ok.


More advanced tips:
-If a grid is very wide but not long, make sure to pull the zombies along the wide side(so as to not unlock that grid yet), until you get pushed back and have to let them through the short side of the grid.
-If you choose not to open all doors you can make very long "lanes" at different places in the map, in which you can use as your fighting lane.
-Let the red glowing(terminator) zombies come to the front before killing them so you can get the drop. Same with green(invulnerability), purple(double points or quick foot) and yellow(instakill).

Hi,

I've been using the UGX mod 1.04 and semtex haven't ever worked. Getting closer to a finished map and want to fix it now.

When I throw it, the animation looks like this:


also it doesn't stick to zombies...just hangs in the air where it hit the zombie.


I've searched through my ugx mod for semtex and napalmblob weapon file, and have also done this on a fresh UGX mod 1.04 download. What am I missing? Will it work, and am I allowed, to take the semtex weapon file from UGX comosea?

Thanks for any help!
