I am trying to make a power up rarer and only appear after the power is enabled. Can someone give me an idea, if not , an example of how I could do this.

I appreciate the help.

I think you can change this in _zombiemode_powerups.gsc;
In your _zombiemode_powerups.gsc, add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag_wait("electricity_on");

before:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

init_powerups();

This will prevent the powerup logic from fully initializing, therefore it won't be able to drop any powerup.

Well I figured out how to make a powerup more rare in get_next_powerup() with

while( powerup == "powerup_name" && randomint(100) > 10)

but how would i run a check if the power is on?

You can check

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag("electricity_on")

It will be set once the power is turned on.

and i can reverse that by doing

Code Snippet

Plaintext

!flag("electricity_on")

where it checks if the power is not on

right?

Ok something that I'm confused about is going on.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while( powerup == "powerup_name" && randomint(100) > 25 )

Works.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while( powerup == "powerup_name" && !flag("electricity_on") )

Works.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while( powerup == "powerup_name" && randomint(100) > 25 && !flag("electricity_on") )

Doesn't work, seems like the checks are ignored.

Well, that's because your condition for the loop isn't what you want it to be.
The loop will not allow the powerup while the power is off AND while the random number is greater than 25. Now, at some point, it will return a random number less than or equal to 25 and your loop stops, even if the power is still off.

oh i see so it should be something like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while( powerup == "bonfire_sale" && ( randomint(100) > 25 || !flag("electricity_on") ) )
