Zombie Boss: Fire Zombie (Level: Easy) in Scripting

This is an alternative version of the electricity zombie.
These kind of zombies also set your screen on fire after you got hit by them.
Not much special but it creates a bit uniqueness to your map

________________________________________________

1. copy the following files from raw/maps folder into your mod:
_zombiemode
_zombiemode_spawner
(If you already have those files you don't need to copy them)

________________________________________________

2. In your mod make a new script file (MODNAME/maps) and paste the following code in there:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_utility; 
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

#using_animtree( "generic_human" ); 
spawn_burnzombie()
{        
    // Settings
    self.pathEnemyFightDist = 72;
    self.meleeAttackDist = 72;
    self.fire_range = 75;
    self.fire_duration = 0.75; // in seconds
    self.maxhealth = int(level.zombie_health * 1.5); 
    
    self.health = self.maxhealth; 
    
    self detachAll();
    self.headModel = "char_ger_honorgd_zomb_behead";
    self attach(self.headModel);
    
    self thread burn_zombie_fx();
    
    while ( 1 )
    {
        self waittill( "meleeanim", note );
        if ( note == "fire" )
        {
            if( IsDefined( self.favoriteenemy ) )
            {
                if (!self.favoriteenemy maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand() && distance( self.favoriteenemy.origin, self.origin ) < self.fire_range)
                {
                    self.favoriteenemy SetBurn( self.fire_duration );
                    self.favoriteenemy shellshock( "pain", self.fire_duration );
                    self.favoriteenemy playsound( "small_fire" );
                }
            }
        }        
    }
}

burn_zombie_fx()
{
    self endon ("death");

    while(1)
    {
        PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["character_fire_death_sm"], self, "j_thumb_le_1" );
        PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["character_fire_death_sm"], self, "j_thumb_ri_1" );
        PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["character_fire_death_sm"], self, "j_head" );
        wait 12;
    }
}

(You can for example copy the _zombiemode.gsc file, clear that file and paste this in)
________________________________________________
3. openup _zombiemode_spawner and look for:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self notify( "zombie_init_done" );

change it to this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self notify( "zombie_init_done" );

if (self.animname != "quad_zombie" && self.animname != "boss_zombie" && self.animname != "zombie_dog")
{
    spawn_round = 3; // the starting round the burn zombie will spawn
    spawn_percentage = 10; // the spawn percentage the burn zombie will spawn

    if (level.round_number >= spawn_round && randomInt(100) <= spawn_percentage)
    {
        self thread maps\YOURSCRIPT::spawn_burnzombie();
    }
}

4. Build mod and you're done! Have fun!

You don't need to add any fx because I am re-using the flamethrower fx.
