Good stuff dude! Thanks for posting your improvements.

Nice script!.

Bl2ck Dog 14 Dec, 2016 @ 7:41am 
UPD Now before spawning zombie script checks if there is any other players near spawn position, if there is - new position selected, until clean spot found. This to prevent group of players spawning zombies next to each other.

UPD2 Added zombies to player ratio check: more players = less zombies per player, to keep net load balanced.

UPD3 Added check if group still present, to keep zombies spawning after all were dead at same time.

wp = zAmbientGroup addWaypoint [objPos,0];
wp setWaypointSpeed "Full";
wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
wp setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";
sleep 10;
};
};

I edited the last "sleep 10;" and changed it to "sleep 600". Made 2 other copies of the .sqf and renamed them. The scripts fire off in triggers at the start of the mission and will spawn 3 zombies every 9 mins around player.


@-CML-CaptainMittens or @Bl2ck dog

How can i get this script to spawn CSAT and fire at player. They will spawn but wont fire at player. I have tried changing behaviour etc but it wont fire at player.

Idk, if you replace the zombie unit types with CSAT units it should work, are they spawning with weapons? And is the player hostile to them?

Also check this thread https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/182412-zombies-demons-46/?page=50#comment-3138998 Johnny Drama made some fixes to the script (zombies were spawning in the corners of the square).

CaptainMittens 16 Jan, 2017 @ 3:13pm 
Awesome stuff, when I originally wrote this script it was a one off deal for a mission I was making, but it's cool to see that it's benefitting people!

Hi, Captain!
I've added you, as I do have several questions regaarding the zombie ambience you've written. Hopefully we'll be able to sort this out fairly quickly!

Thank you so much -CML-CaptainMittens for your work and sharing it here, this is an very neat script!

also this is the part for independent zombies:

_ZombiesSlow= ["RyanZombieC_man_1Slow","RyanZombieC_man_polo_1_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_pilot_FSlow","RyanZombieC_journalist_FSlow","RyanZombieC_OrestesSlow","RyanZombieC_NikosSlow","RyanZombieC_man_polo_2_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_polo_4_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_polo_5_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_polo_6_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_p_fugitive_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_w_worker_FSlow","RyanZombieC_scientist_FSlow","RyanZombieC_man_hunter_1_FSlow"];
_ZombiesFast = ["RyanZombieC_man_1Medium","RyanZombieC_man_polo_1_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_pilot_FMedium","RyanZombieC_journalist_FMedium","RyanZombieC_OrestesMedium","RyanZombieC_NikosMedium","RyanZombieC_man_polo_2_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_polo_4_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_polo_5_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_polo_6_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_p_fugitive_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_w_worker_FMedium","RyanZombieC_scientist_FMedium","RyanZombieC_man_hunter_1_FMedium"];


basically you just have to delete opfor..

It makes zombies dynamically spawn ?
#28
CaptainMittens 2 Aug, 2017 @ 6:53pm 
Yeah, So, when the script is launched, zombies spawn around the player who ran the script. So you can put it in "init.sqf" or initplayerLocal.sqf
Or you can have a trigger that calls it once players enter an infected area or whatever.
