[tutorial] Teleportation Zombie Mini Boss in Scripting

this is a script i made for a zombie that would randomly spawn in place of a normal zombie and teleport after every few seconds a few meters away from where it was. nothing too spectacular but it can throw people off guard if one spawns in the middle of a horde.

for this tutorial i will be using the model called "c_54i_cqb_fullbody" for the zombie, if you want a different one change this at any point in the tutorial to your own model.

first go into your maps zone file and add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

xmodel,c_54i_cqb_fullbody

then go into your mapname.gsc and add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#precache("xmodel", "c_54i_cqb_fullbody");

above main

then place this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	level.teleport_zombie_reap_dist = 190;				//teleporting distance
	level.teleport_zombie_reap_time_min = 3;			//minimum time to teleport
	level.teleport_zombie_reap_time_max = 3;			//max time to teleport (time to teleport random between min and min + max)
	level.teleport_zombie_reap_health_multiplier = 3;	//health modifier, this many times more health than a normal zombie 
	level.teleport_zombie_reap_percent = 15;			//spawn rate percent, this many out of 100 will become teleporters
	level thread reap_special_zombies();

under

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	level.pathdist_type = PATHDIST_ORIGINAL;

then place this at the bottom of mapname.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function reap_special_zombies()
{
	while(1)
	{
		zombies = getaispeciesarray( "axis", "all" );
		for( i = 0; i < zombies.size; i++ )
		{
			if( !isDefined( zombies[i].reap_special_zombies ) )
			{
				zombies[i].reap_special_zombies = true;
				if(randomint(100) < level.teleport_zombie_reap_percent)
					zombies[i] thread reap_special_zombie_teleporter();
			}
		}
		wait 0.1;	
	}
}

function reap_special_zombie_teleporter()
{
	self endon( "death" );
	self.is_teleport_zombie = true;
	self.force_gib = false;
	self.gibbed = true; 
	self.maxhealth = self.maxhealth*level.teleport_zombie_reap_health_multiplier;
	self.health = self.health*level.teleport_zombie_reap_health_multiplier;
	self.is_on_fire = true;
	self.no_gib = 1;
	self.head_gibbed = true;
	self.needs_run_update = true;
	self.allowpain = false;
	self.ignore_nuke = true;
	self.is_boss = true;
	self detach( self.headModel, "" ); 
	self detach( self.hatModel, "" ); 
	self setmodel( "c_54i_cqb_fullbody" ); 
	while(1)
	{
		wait randomint(level.teleport_zombie_reap_time_min)+level.teleport_zombie_reap_time_max;
		front = AnglesToForward(self.angles);
		dist_pos = self.origin + VectorScale( front, level.teleport_zombie_reap_dist );
		if( bullettracepassed( self.origin + (0, 0, 10), dist_pos + (0, 0, 10), false, undefined ) &&
		(IsDefined(self.in_the_ground) && self.in_the_ground == false || !IsDefined(self.in_the_ground)))
		{
			if( IsVehicle( self ) )
				self clientfield::set( "tesla_shock_eyes_fx_veh", 1 );
			else
				self clientfield::set( "tesla_shock_eyes_fx", 1 );		
			self PlaySound( "zmb_elec_jib_zombie" );	
			wait .2;
			self hide();
			wait .2;
			self forceteleport(dist_pos);
			wait .2;
			self show();
			wait .2;
			if( IsVehicle( self ) )
				self clientfield::set( "tesla_shock_eyes_fx_veh", 0 );
			else
				self clientfield::set( "tesla_shock_eyes_fx", 0 );
		}
	}
}

that should be it, if you have any questions or issues let me know
