How to disable gibbing? in Scripting

Created on: October 28, 2014, 02:07:00 am

I am trying to port a character model from BO2 and make It a zombie model and I am also trying to make some of the marine raider models zombies for my map, I got the models In and working as zombies but whenever you shoot off the limbs they revert back to the original zombie models, for the marine raiders I have setup the character file with the gibs and the xmodelaliases, not sure what I am doing wrong exactly under there, and for the BO2 model It didn't have any gibbed models so how do I disable gibbing for these character models?

I had this issue.

I made a seperate honorguard aliases for each type of zombie. As the array function seems to randomly pick, irrespective of what model was being used previously

there is gibbing is in zombiemode_spawner. Never tried to disable it but I did make things gib that normally don't, such as MOD_UNKNOWN for some of my traps. Not sure if that will help but there is a function it checks if the zombie should gib and returns true if it should, based on MOD, I think. You may be able to change them to false to stop gibbing?

P.S. This idea sounds cool. Good luck with it.

in _zombiemode_spawner.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(!isDefined(self.dontGib) || !self.dontGib)
self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();

but people will probably complain

set self.dontGib to true in the character file.

They might, but if he isnt using zombie models, it could make sense

Sorry for the late reply been busy, I tried putting that In zombiemode_spawner but the zombies are still being gibbed

To stop gibbing completely you only need to add return false; in the should gib function. What he was doing was trying to give you an option to make it that if self.dontGib was not defined and/or it was not true then gib the zombies, but otherwise don't gib. To test that you can simply add self.dontGib = true; before the self thread zombie_gib_on_damage(); like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.dontGib = true;
if(!isDefined(self.dontGib) || !self.dontGib)
    self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();

With that you can define which zombies to gib if you can define "dontGib" for each zombie.

If he doesn't define dontGib for true and false conditions for each model, then yes. But if he defines it for all spawners then that will backfire. That is why I thought you did it the way you did it. Technically you could just put:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(!self.dontGib)
    self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();

which would gib on any dontGib atributes not defined and false.

May have prematurely marked best answer D: so I put

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(!self.dontGib)
    self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();

In _zombiemode_spawner and I put selt.dontGib = true; In my character file but the models under that character file still gib

Did you only have the typo here? self, not selt... You can add a print statement to check, something like in the zombie_death_even(zombie) script you could put iprintlnbold(zombie.dontGib, " dont gib"); before the zombie waittill( "death" ); to see.

Oh I typed that wrong on here It's self.dontGib = true; In my character file under

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.gibSpawnTag4 = "J_Knee_LE";

and the script above In my zombiemode_spawner.gsc but I added the iprintinbold to see what It says In game

After putting In the iprintinbold I didn't see anything written In game so I figured I would put what I have down In here this Is what I have In my character.gsc before the precache part of course

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
	codescripts\character::setModelFromArray(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_bodyalias::main());
	self.headModel = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_headalias::main());
	self attach(self.headModel, "", true);
//	self.hatModel = "char_usa_raider_helm1";
//	self attach(self.hatModel);
	self.gearModel = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_gearalias::main());
	self attach(self.gearModel, "", true);
	self.voice = "american";
	self.torsoDmg1 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_upclean";
//	self.torsoDmg2 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_rarmoffalias::main());
//	self.torsoDmg3 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_larmoffalias::main());
//	self.torsoDmg4 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_torsoalias::main());
//	self.torsoDmg5 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_behead";
//	self.legDmg1 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_lowclean";
//	self.legDmg2 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_rlegoffalias::main());
//	self.legDmg3 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_llegoffalias::main());
//	self.legDmg4 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_usa_raider_body1_g_legsoffalias::main());
//	self.gibSpawn1 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_rarmspawn";
//	self.gibSpawnTag1 = "J_Elbow_RI";
//	self.gibSpawn2 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_larmspawn";
//	self.gibSpawnTag2 = "J_Elbow_LE";
//	self.gibSpawn3 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_rlegspawn";
//	self.gibSpawnTag3 = "J_Knee_RI";
//	self.gibSpawn4 = "char_usa_raider_body1_g_llegspawn";
//	self.gibSpawnTag4 = "J_Knee_LE";
	self.dontGib = true;
}

and this Is the small part of the zombiemode_spawner.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//	self add_to_spectate_list();
	self random_tan(); 
	self set_zombie_run_cycle(); 
	self thread zombie_think(); 
	if(!self.dontGib)
    self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();
	self thread zombie_damage_failsafe();

I can look at a _zombiemode_spawner.gsc tonight.

P.S. I know a lot of people that write code that way but it is easier to trouble shoot, I think, if you use your brackets.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

    if(!self.dontGib){
        self thread zombie_gib_on_damage();
    }

Then you don't wonder about your indentation or whatever. Totally up to you.

Here is how I tested this. I used the Instant Five zombies from jei9363's dl. I edited the char_ger_honorguard_zombies.gsc to include:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.dontGib = true;

Then in zombiemode_spawner.gsc in the zombie_spawn_init( animname_set ) function I put:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self random_tan(); 
	self set_zombie_run_cycle(); 
	self thread zombie_think(); 
	if(!self.dontGib){
		iprintlnbold("gonna gib");//delete when working
		self thread zombie_gib_on_damage(); 
		zombie_shader = "specialty_fastreload_zombies"; //delete when working
	}
	else{//delete when working
		iprintlnbold("not gonna gib");//delete when working
		zombie_shader = "specialty_juggernaut_zombies";//delete when working
	}//delete when working
	self.waypoint = NewClientHudElem(get_players()[0]);//delete when working
	self.waypoint setShader(zombie_shader,64,64);//delete when working
	self.waypoint setWaypoint( true, zombie_shader);//delete when working
	self.waypoint SetTargetEnt(self);//delete when working
	self.waypoint.alpha = .8;//delete when working

	// self thread zombie_gib_on_damage(); 
	self thread zombie_damage_failsafe();

(Another piece ^ from jei9363)
Then as they spawned it printed whether or not that zombie was going to gib and added a jugg icon if they were not going to gib and a fast reload icon if then would.
