PanzerSoldat and PatrolSoldat [V1.0] in Scripts

This also includes my 'Patrol Soldat' wich is a Panzer with a mingun instead of a flamethrower, to balance things out he's a slow walker

You can enable/disable the Patrol Soldat, whatever you prefer

This script is originally made for Zombie Sumpf, wich is now released more then 2,5 years ago. Back when i made this i wasn't into scripting for that long.. The script is far from perfect, and right now i would do a lot of things different prob but i could never be bothered to redo it. After all it works ( mostly

)

Occasionally a player could get stuck inside a model/clip when the panzer grabs him ( wich also happens in official maps every now and then btw.. ). I'm doing countless amount of traces in the script to prevent this, but specially models without collision and clips that stick out a lot increase the chanche of players getting stuck!

Instructions ( also included in the dl ):
FOR VERSION 1.0 MAKE SURE TO USE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND NOT FROM INSIDE THE DOWNLOAD!
I will update the instructions included in the download in version 1.1

1]
Copy the .iwd file in your COMPILED mod-folder ( so appdata\local\activision\CoDWaW... etc for the disk version )

2]
Pick ONE of the two .ff files depending on if you're allready using one for another feature.

-If you pick the _patch, rename it to 'mapname'_patch. So if my map was called nazi_zombie_example the .ff would be nazi_zombie_example_patch

or

-If you pick the localized_, rename it to localized_'mapname'. So in the example above it would be localized_nazi_zombie_example

Also copy the renamed .ff into you compiled mod-folder

3]
Open your _zombiemode.gsc Around line 60-70 you'll see similar lines, add this one:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	maps\_blst_panzersoldat::init();

4]
Next look for this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

init_anims()
{
	init_standard_zombie_anims();
}

And add the mech anims, so it looks like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

init_anims()
{
	init_standard_zombie_anims();
	maps\_blst_panzersoldat::init_mech_anims();
}

That's it for _zombiemode. save and close.

5]
Now open _zombiemode_spawner and look for this line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self.head_gibbed = false;

right under it add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self.boss = false;

---------
Next look for these lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self set_zombie_run_cycle(); 
	self thread zombie_think();

right IN BETWEEN those, add the new line so it looks like below:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self set_zombie_run_cycle(); 
	self maps\_blst_panzersoldat::mech_prespawn();
	self thread zombie_think();

6]
Now find this line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	rise_struct_string = undefined;

And under that add this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( self.boss )
	{
		self notify("no_rise");
		self.script_string = "zombie_chaser";
	}

7]
A few line's down, under this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	else
	{
		self notify("no_rise");
	}

Add these lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( IsDefined( self.script_string ) &&  self.script_string == "zombie_chaser" )
	{
		rise_struct_string = "find_flesh";
	}

8]
Now find this piece of code:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zombie_gib_on_damage()
{
//	self endon( "death" ); 

	while( 1 )
	{
		self waittill( "damage", amount, attacker, direction_vec, point, type ); 

		if( !IsDefined( self ) )
		{
			return;
		}

And under that part, add these line's:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if(IsDefined(self.boss) && self.boss)
		{
			continue;
		}

9]
In the function: zombie_damage( mod, hit_location, hit_origin, player )
under these line's:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( !IsDefined( player ) )
	{
		return; 
	}

Add these:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( IsDefined( self.boss ) && self.boss )
	{
		return; 
	}

10]
And a bit down in the function: zombie_damage_ads( mod, hit_location, hit_origin, player ) in the same way add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( IsDefined( self.boss ) && self.boss )
	{
		return; 
	}

That's _spawner. Save and close.

11]
Open animscripts\death.gsc and look for this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if( IsDefined(self.is_zombie) && (!IsDefined(self.in_the_ground) || !self.in_the_ground))
		{
			self thread death_anim_short_circuit();
		}

And change that into:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if( IsDefined(self.is_zombie) && (!IsDefined(self.in_the_ground) || !self.in_the_ground) && isdefined( self.boss ) && !self.boss )
		{
			self thread death_anim_short_circuit();
		}

Save and close.

12]
Now open animscripts\melee.gsc, and scroll to the bottom. There you will see this function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

pick_zombie_melee_anim( zombie_guy )

In there, replace this line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if ( zombie_guy.has_legs )

With this one:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if ( zombie_guy.has_legs  && !zombie_guy.boss )

Next, right under this part:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		switch(zombie_guy.zombie_move_speed)
		{
 
			case "walk": 
				anims = array_combine(level._zombie_melee[zombie_guy.animname],level._zombie_walk_melee[zombie_guy.animname]);
				melee_anim = random(anims);
				break;
 
			case "run":			
			case "sprint":
				anims = array_combine(level._zombie_melee[zombie_guy.animname],level._zombie_run_melee[zombie_guy.animname]);
				melee_anim = random(anims);
				break;			
		}
	}

Add these new lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	else if( isdefined(zombie_guy.boss) && zombie_guy.boss )
	{
		melee_anim = random(level._mech_melee["zombie"]);
	}

13]
Now open the animtrees\generic_human.atr:
Right at the top under:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

body
{

add this:
   ai_zombie_mech_grabbed
   bo2_mech_run_to_aim_ft
   bo2_mech_ft_sweep
   bo2_mech_ft_burn_plr
   bo2_mech_arrive
   bo2_mech_exit
   bo2_mech_head_pain
   bo2_mech_downed
   bo2_mech_recover
   bo2_mech_powercore_pain
   bo2_mech_leap_start
   bo2_mech_leap_stop
   bo2_mech_stunned
   bo2_mech_grab_aim
   bo2_mech_grab_idle
   bo2_mech_taunt
   bo2_mech_minigun_sweep
   bo2_mech_minigun_spray
   mech_minigun_fire_loop
=============================================================
Next find the zombie-run anims, around line 450. and add these somewhere in there:
               bo2_mech_walk_basic
               bo2_mech_walk_patrol
               bo2_mech_run01
               bo2_mech_sprint01
               bo2_mech_leap_loop
               bo2_mech_minigun_spray_walk
=============================================================
Next find:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

melee
{

and under that add:
      bo2_mech_melee01
      bo2_mech_melee02
      bo2_mech_run_melee01
============================================================
Find the death anims, around line 1960 and add these in there:
      bo2_mech_death
      bo2_mech_death_explode
============================================================
And now find the taunt anims, around line 2840 and add this one in there:
         blst_zom_mech_taunt

In radiant:
* Make sure all your zone's have the " script_noteworthy - player_zone " ( this was actually originally in WaW scripts, but a lot of people dont use it.. )
* Where the mech spawn's, and also the struct's that are used for jetpacking: (place them half inside the ground, like riser-struct's)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	script_STRUCT		=>	"mech_zombie_spawn" - "targetname"

* Make AT LEAST 6 trigger_damage entities. ( Should be fine for spawning in 5 mechs at the same time )
make them around 30x30x30 units, give this KVP:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		"mech_escape_trigger" , "targetname"

   Also select these spawnflags:
      -PROJ_NO
      -EXPLOSION_NO
      -SPLASH_NO
      -FIRE_NO
   Put them somewhere the players cant see / shoot them. These will be used for when the mech grabs a player, but can't be spawned in through script..

15]
If you have a Wonder Weapon you want to have a special effect on the mech, you can call this from where the ww-script does damage:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( isdefined( zombie.boss ) && zombie.boss )
	{
		zombie thread maps\_blst_panzersoldat::mech_ww_response();
	}

He will do a pain-anim, and there's a slight chanche he gets knocked to the ground.

16]
---------------- No nuke and insta-kill effect-----------------
In _zombiemode_powerups find the function check_for_instakill() and under the line's:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if( self.animname == "boss_zombie" )
		{
			return;
		}

add these line's:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if(IsDefined(self.boss) && self.boss)
	{
         return;
	}

--------
Next find the function nuke_powerup() scroll down a bit till you see:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if( is_magic_bullet_shield_enabled( zombies[i] ) )
		{
			continue;
		}

and under that add these line's:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

        if(IsDefined(zombies[i].boss) && zombies[i].boss)
        {
            continue;
        }

17]
-----------Doesn't stop the rounds from changing------------
Open _zombiemode_utility.gsc, and find the line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		if( enemies[i].animname != "boss_zombie" )

and REPLACE it with this one:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( enemies[i].animname != "boss_zombie" && ( !isdefined(enemies[i].boss) || !enemies[i].boss ) )

18]
Stock 'settings':
-first panzer round: round 8
-after that every 3 rounds
-health value's are copied from bo2 script
-the patrol-soldat is included, he and the normal one will take turns spawning

Hidden Text

Single player:

You can change a lot of settings in the _blst_panzersoldat.gsc thats inside the BlSt_PanzerSoldat.iwd
To disable the Patrol-Soldat, open the script inside the .iwd and change this line into false:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.include_patrol_mech							= true;

That should be all!
PS:
