[REL] Zday, a Zombie Infestation Script

[MetaGamer]

not works. It gives black screen

[NotAvailable]

I cant find how to make a zombie zone on the wiki

[Slothman]

yeah, sorry. my wiki access needs to be reset. so heres how:

setElementData(myRadarArea, "zombieProof", true )

just replace "myRadarArea" with the radar area you want zombieproofed. this will prevent zombies from spawning in that area. it will not prevent them from going into the area though, so you might want to build a fence.

How i can save zombie kills?

[Slothman]

you would have to save it to player accounts, which is something thats beyond the scope of this script, but can be learned about in the wiki,

[Tomek123]

Can you give me link ? I can't find this. :\

[Slothman]

the more important one is here:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetAccountData

heres the rest of the account functions:

Does this resource have perfect sync system?

[Slothman]

define "perfect"

the zombies are synced for all players, but if a player is laggy you will notice some choppyness as the zombies resync themselves.

[Tomek123]

What is wrong?

function onPlayerQuit ( ) 
      -- when a player leaves, store his current money amount in his account data 
      local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source ) 
      if ( playeraccount ) then 
            local playerzombiekills = getPlayerZombieKills ( source ) 
            setAccountData ( playeraccount, "piraterpg.zombiekills", playerzombiekills ) 
      end 
end 
  
function onPlayerJoin ( ) 
      -- when a player joins, retrieve his money amount from his account data and set it 
      local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source ) 
      if ( playeraccount ) then 
            local playerzombiekills = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "piraterpg.zombiekills" ) 
            -- make sure there was actually a value saved under this key (check if playermoney is not false). 
            -- this will for example not be the case when a player plays the gametype for the first time 
            if ( playerzombiekills ) then 
                  setPlayerZombieKills ( source, playerzombiekills ) 
            end 
      end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerQuit ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerJoin )

getPlayerZombieKills?????? wtf?

i think you should do:

getElementData(source, "Zombie kills") 

and:

setElementData(source, "Zombie kills", playerzombiekills) 

[Hyunsu]

define "perfect"

if server ping is high, are zombies choppy?

I'm new to this so I do not know these commands. I tried and still does not work: \

[Castillo]

when a player joins he is not logged in, so you have to use onPlayerLogin as eventHandler,

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerJoin ) 

[Slothman]

if server ping is high, are zombies choppy?

all pedestrians in mta are automatically synced by one of the players ingame. mta uses its own system to choose who syncs them, and it does a good job of it.

when you are the syncer, the peds will always look smooth and operate very well. when someone else is the syncer and they have a high ping, then you migh notice some chopiness.

to avoid the impact of this, when a zombie attacks a person, it is scripted to set the syner to the person the zombie is chasing. this greatly reduces any problems.

in any event, the whole thing works well, but nothing in life is perfect.

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

How just wondering, how do I stop zombies from spawning within a certain radar area? You might wanna update your wiki info.

[Slothman]

from 1 page previous:

setElementData(myRadarArea, "zombieProof", true )

just replace "myRadarArea" with the radar area you want zombieproofed. this will prevent zombies from spawning in that area. it will not prevent them from going into the area though, so you might want to build a fence.

why zombie can sync only one player?

i think, this function is setElementSyncer.

[SDK]

That's what he said, didn't he? When the zombies attack someone, the script uses setElementSyncer to set the player being attacked as syncer for the zombies attacking. setElementSyncer can not add more players syncing btw, it can only change the player syncing peds.

Where can i see the anti zombie zone wiki page?

[Tunner]

wohoo! ive finaly remembered the password! So here is my problem as i mentioned on comunity site. Im trying to do a zombie-free zone but that SetElementdata doesnt seem to work. it either doesnt work at all or the zombies dont spawn anywhere. the zone itself is functioning (green radar area and such) but the zombies dont work as they should. Please could you give me a hand with this one or post an example?

THX in advance

[Castillo]

Uhm, i have a question about your resource, is possible to set their dimension? like in the map file where you set the spawn points, Thanks in advance.

[Slothman]

post the part of the script that you use to create the radararea and set its elementdata
