So I'm making a map and its going pretty well... I have put in a lot of stuff but I want to learn how to make a boss such as the napalm zombie and later on when I learn enough the panzer...
Please don't tell me to go just learn c++ because i already know that i need that.
If someone could help me or point me in the right direction I would be very greatfull!

This is codscript, not c++ but it does have some similarities. Napalm boss difficulty would depend on how much you want it like the original. If exactly, then there is so much involved besides just the scripting.

You would need the models, create a spawner, the anims probably too if they are different, and then all the work to get those in and working. If you just use the animname "boss_zombie" instead of other anims then its a little easier.

After creating a spawner, you would, when ready to spawn that boss, get that spawner and thread a function to handle his attack, and make sure he doesn't gib and check health and set it if needed, and make sure he isn't a runner or sprinter, unless you want that.

Something like this could get you started scripting wise:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//thread this when you want to spawn a zombie
SpawnBoss(){
        damage = 50;
        distancehurt = 666;
	bosses = GetEntArray("napalmboss", "targetname");//spawner kvps
	boss = bosses[0];//this for now to spawn the boss, decide if more spawns later
	zombie = spawn_zombie( boss );
        zombie.zombie_move_speed = "walk";
	zombie.animname = "boss_zombie";
	zombie.health = 50000;
	zombie.maxhealth = 50000;
	zombie.gibbed = true;
	while(IsAlive( zombie )){
		players = getplayers( );
		array_thread( players,::BurnThem,zombie,damage,distancehurt );
		wait(1);
	}
}
BurnThem(zombie,damage,distancehurt){
        zombie endon("death");
	if(is_player_valid( self ) & Distance( self.origin,zombie.origin )<distancehurt){
		self SetBurn( 1 );
		if(self.health>damage) self DoDamage( damage, self.origin, zombie, zombie );
		else radiusdamage(self.origin, distancehurt, damage, 5, zombie);
	}
}

Not tested, just put together quick
