What Is Snail's Pace Slurpee?
Snail's Pace Slurpee will slow down any zombie's movement by 38% (adjusted for v1.1) when it enters within a radius of a player who has it. When the zombie reaches another smaller, inner radius, or if it gets too far away from the player, it is sped back up.
Sounds complicated? Basically it just slows zombies when they get too close, but won't slow them down when they start hitting you. This gives players extra time before zombies can hit them, and can really save the player in some sticky situations, but not all.
Snail's Pace Slurpee comes with a re-textured speed-cola machine model (Though an actual original model is in the works right now!), as well as it's own shader, bottle, FX, Vulture Aid Waypoint, and even perk jingle.
How Do I Install It In My Map?
The download includes instructions for installation within the instructions.txt file.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HARRYBO21'S PERKS (v2.1 or higher) INSTALLED FIRST!!!
Shaders
Lethal Peelz and Erthrock have both made shader sets that include Snail's Pace. If you are interested in trying out some new shaders for Snail's Pace I recommend checking them out.
In order to change the shader, you'll have to edit the customperkicons.lua (located in Root/usermaps/yourmapname/ui/uieditor/widgets/hud/zm_perks). You must change this line:
so it is set equal to whatever IMAGE (not material anymore) asset you want to be the shader.
NOTES
If you happen to make custom perks too, Snail's pace uses the specialty: "specialty_gpsjammer", so I recommend not using that, if you want it to be compatible with Snail's Pace.
A new model for Snail's Pace is currently in the works, so it can have an original model instead of just retextured Speed Cola
You can change many of the settings of Snail's Pace within the _zm_perk_snails_pace_slurpee.gsh including a new feature that slows down zombies exceptionally when a player with Snail's Pace goes down.
Hey man, I was wondering if you could send me an audio file of the jingle for this perk. My friend who isn't very good at zombies really likes the tune and he was wondering if he could get it for everyday listening. I also might use the perk in a map of my own someday. Also, if it is possible for you to upload this to YouTube or Soundcloud or give me permission to do so that would make things a lot more accessible for us to listen to. Thanks man!

I just made a youtube video for it, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/f0zLNjNAI1w I'm glad you like it, I made it myself! I'm planning on adding a lot more of my songs and little musical things to my next map.
I highly suggest making the following balancing changes: ~ Raising the Price to 4000 Points ~ Changing the Speed & Anim modifier from 0.50 to 0.62
I don't know if I want to change the price to 4000, just cause people have already used this in their maps and may not update it, so I don't want there to two versions of snail's pace with different prices going around to confuse people. I will however change the speed to 0.62 like you said, because it is a little too slow in its current state, and a little change like that will not confuse people so much.
