Knock Knock Zombies

Description
DESCRIPTION
This mod introduces the mechanic that behind any closed door could lurk infected zombies ready to ambush the player. It works with most vanilla buildings and modded buildings depending on how they are made. Even multi-level buildings.
Your players will never open a door the same way again. Who knows what is on the other side...
  • Zombies will only spawn inside a room behind a closed door out of sight of any player.
  • every closed door has a potential to trigger the spawn
  • configurable spawn chance
  • designate safezones via config
  • excludes territories (if using expansion)
  • exclude specific buildings from spawning zombies
  • make spawning zombies exclusive to specific buildings
  • player and group door history ensures zombies will not spawn inside rooms recently cleared
  • allow specific zombies to spawn

UPDATED 6/23/25
*No changes to the config*
  • added vanilla territory support
  • check if player is in vehicle
  • now caches some results, like territory, safezone and vehicle check, and reads the cache until expired (saves resources)

Note: There are many factors that go into if an zombie will spawn. Having a spawn chance of 100% does not mean 100% of doors will spawn zombies. It means that when all the factors align and give a green light to spawn then there is a 100% chance the zombie will spawn.

REQUIREMENTS
  • Can be run as server or client mod

  • This is a spinoff of my Knock Knock AI mod. All requirements for Expansion should be removed. If I missed something let me know

REPACKS
No repacks, reuploads, or redistributions are allowed under any circumstances.
Please respect the original work by linking to the official mod only.

FEEDBACK IS KING
Hey ho flying by the seat of my pants here and as such your feedback helps to make this a better mod. Find some buildings that cause issue? Let me know. Got a suggestion? Let me know. I have only used this mod on Chernarus but there is no reason it should not work on other maps - only poorly made buildings should be any issue.

Suggestion for improving zombie spawns

Hi! Great mod! I’d like to suggest adding the ability to specify in the config which types of zombies spawn in which buildings. Currently, there’s a list of buildings and a list of zombies, but no connection between them.

// Example logic
string buildingType = GetBuildingType(currentDoor);
TStringArray zombiesToSpawn;
if (buildingType == "PoliceStation") zombiesToSpawn = { "ZmbM_PolicemanFat","ZmbF_PoliceWomanNormal","ZmbM_PolicemanSpecForce" };
else if (buildingType == "MedicalCenter") zombiesToSpawn = { "ZmbM_ParamedicNormal_Blue","ZmbF_ParamedicNormal_Blue" };
else zombiesToSpawn = { "ZmbM_CitizenASkinny_Blue","ZmbM_CitizenBFat_Blue","ZmbF_HikerSkinny_Blue" };
SpawnZombieAtDoor(currentDoor, zombiesToSpawn.GetRandomElement());

This would allow more precise control over zombie spawns without editing scripts manually.

Is it possible to have an option to auto agro zeds when they spawn in behind a door? In other words, the zed is already aware of the player after he spawns in and is trying to attack player?
