I came across a tutorial on zombiemodding that triggered fx on zombies but it seemed to be broken, a couple of years old, and had a lot of controversy over how to do it the right way in the comments so I followed npissoawsome's comments which had his version of a script (shown below). To summarize what I'm trying to do is simple, I created a trigger_multiple in front of my zombie spawns, then i created a trigger that starts the zombie rounds and activates the trigger_multiple. My problem is that the fx doesn't play on the zombie when it passes through the trigger_multiple, but it plays on me if I pass through the trigger_multiple. If Someone can please take a look at the code below and see why the zombies don't play the fx I would be grateful, plus it could be added to the tutorials if it gets solved and can finally be a resolved issue. Code Snippet Plaintext Copy #include common_scripts\utility; #include maps\_zombiemode_utility; #include maps\_utility; effect_init() { //Original script by blackwe11 //Modified by npissoawsome level waittill("start_rounds"); //EDIT THESE/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// trig = getEnt("cell_trig", "targetname"); thread effect_think("zombie_effect_trigger", trig, undefined); // thread effect_loader("targetname of trigger, you need to have this", "targetname of activating trigger, undefined if no trigger", "1 = needs power, undefined = doesn't need power"); ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //DON'T EDIT ANYTHING BEYOND THIS POINT/// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// effect_think(trigger_name, start_trigger_name, power) { if(isdefined(power)) { if(power == 1) { flag_wait("electricity_on"); } } trigger = getent(trigger_name, "targetname"); if(isDefined(start_trigger_name)) { start_trigger = getent(start_trigger_name, "targetname"); if(isDefined(start_trigger.script_noteworthy)) { start_trigger setCursorHint(start_trigger.script_noteworthy); } if(isDefined(start_trigger.script_string)) { start_trigger setHintString(start_trigger.script_string); } while(true) { start_trigger waittill("trigger", player); if(isDefined(start_trigger.zombie_cost)) { cost = start_trigger.zombie_cost; if(player.score >= cost) { player playsound("cha_ching"); player maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score(cost); thread effect_loader(trigger); break; }else { player playsound("no_cha_ching"); } }else { thread effect_loader(trigger); break; } } }else { thread effect_loader(trigger); } } effect_loader(trigger) { iPrintLn("Flame On!!!"); while(true) { trigger waittill("trigger", player); damage = (player.max_health / 4); player dodamage(damage, player.origin); if(isDefined(trigger.script_noteworthy)) { switch(trigger.script_noteworthy) { case "fire": if(isDefined(trigger.script_flag) && trigger.script_flag == "looping") { while(IsAlive(player)) { playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); wait(5); } }else { playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); } break; case "electric": if(isDefined(trigger.script_flag) && trigger.script_flag == "looping") { while(IsAlive(player)) { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_neck"); wait(5); } }else { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_neck"); } break; case "random": randomfx = randomint(2); if(isDefined(trigger.script_flag) && trigger.script_flag == "looping") { while(IsAlive(player)) { if(randomfx == 0) { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_neck"); wait(3); }else if(randomfx == 1) { playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); wait(5); } } }else { if(randomfx == 0) { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_neck"); }else if(randomfx == 1) { playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); } } break; case "both": if(isDefined(trigger.script_flag) && trigger.script_flag == "looping") { while(IsAlive(player)) { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); wait(4); } }else { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["zombie_fire"] , player, "j_neck"); } break; default: if(isDefined(trigger.script_flag) && trigger.script_flag == "looping") { while(IsAlive(player)) { playfxontag(level.lelectric_fx, player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level.lelectric_fx, player, "j_neck"); wait(5); } }else { playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_spine4"); playfxontag(level._effect["electricity"] , player, "j_neck"); } break; } }else { iPrintLn("Trigger Undefined"); } wait(0.5); } } P.S. I also checked all my zombies and they have the right joints for attaching the fx each model has a j_spine4 and a j_neck.

Thank you Phil and BluntStuffy I got it working great thanks to y'all's expert scripting knowledge. I would mark the best answer but each answer you guys gave was good. This topic is Solved. Thank you guys once again for helping me out and not only that but helping me to learn more about programming. Daedra descent I tried what you suggested but it just didn't fit what I was trying to accomplish, I'm sorry but thank you for your help I will definitely help you out in the future if I can and that goes for Phil and BluntStuffy as well.
