Hello everyone!

Do someone here knows how to make a function in a script so lets say when activating a trigger the zombies will stop follow the player and walk or run to some other random places and then a some seconds later the zombies will start following you again?
If someone wants to help me with that, I would really appreciate that!
Thanks!

Stop followING the player I mean.

And between THEN and A, the A should not be there I know, sorry
I always discover wrong english after I posted the topic, lol.

Well to do something like that we can use the "getEnt" function to retrieve the trigger from script and use a waittill to wait for that trigger to be triggered. Example:

trig = getEnt("trigger", "targetname");
trig waittill("trigger");

Then to set players invisible to zombies we can do two different things. This first scenario would only hide the player that pressed the trigger. By changing the waittill we used to this:

trig waittill("trigger", user);

We can now retrieve the variable that we have called "user" which is equal to the player entity that triggered the trigger. We can now use this variable to change a property the player entity has to true.

user.ignoreme = true;

Making "user.ignoreme" true means the zombies will not be attracted to him.

You can then use a wait to wait for a certain amount of time and then set "user.ignoreme" back to false. Example:

user.ignoreme = true;
wait 30;
user.ignoreme = false;

The second way we can do this is by making all the players invisible once the trigger is triggered. This can be done by creating a variable that will be equal to the array of players and then using a for loop to loop through the array setting each player invisible. Example:

players = getPlayers();
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
    players[i].ignoreme = true;

wait 30;

for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
    players[i].ignoreme = false;

The full thing would look something like this:

trig = getEnt("trigger", "targetname");
trig waittill("trigger");
players = getPlayers();
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
    players[i].ignoreme = true;
wait 30;
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
   players[i].ignoreme = false;

Yes I know I have learned the basic stuff like
getent = ("SCRIPT","targetname");
or wait (5);
or
when stuff will move
movez, movex, movey in different directions with help from how long it takes for like the brush to move and how far it will move like,
SCRIPT movex ("-15, 4")

well yea you know the basics.

But I will test that you told me sajeone, thank you!

I will reply when I have tested this if I have time.
