[TuT]how to thread zombies as "self" in Scripts

ok so i am a lil bit drunk :v i why not make a tutorial xD

summary: this code will let you have everyzombie that spawns as a "self" ent so you can make threads with it to run random stuff with him

ok to start open your "_zombiemode_spawner.gsc"
and find

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self.flame_damage_time = 0;

and after that add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(randomint(100) > 50)
	{
	self thread special_zombie();
	}

and at the bottom add

Code Snippet

Plaintext

special_zombie()
{
self thread _fx();
self waittill( "death" );
PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["dog_gib"], self, "tag_origin" );
}

_fx()
{
PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["dog_trail_fire"], self, "tag_origin" );
}

explanation:
here the code will get the zombie as "self" you can play fx in

Code Snippet

Plaintext

PlayFxOnTag( level._effect["dog_trail_fire"], self, "tag_origin" );

self being an ent in this case the zombie and "tag origin" the tag in that ent where the fx will be played.
also the code in zombiemode_spawner will run this on every zombie spawned so only if the random number is bigger or smaller(i dont really remember so google the operators for C# xP) the code inside the "if statement" will be runned, which in this case will play a fire fx on the zombie and upon death it will explode.

this can help you to spawn special zombies, bosses, etc so enjoy learning something from it

using this you can put fx on random zombies or do something like this

...upon death the zombies will spawn an fx which will travel to the hole in the ceiling
