[REL] New zombie-infested area script

[Dutchman101]

https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=14568

Decided to go for a zombies script from scratch instead of relying on old and outdated ''zday'' zombies or slothboth.

These zombies will follow you and try to kill you, once they get too close you'll be dead before you know it so make a good defense line.

Location is open field near SF airport, zombies will only spawn and work inside that colshape. When player enters it (atleast one player must be there for any zombies to spawn and exist) he will see a stats window counting and saving his zombiekills, deaths and headshots on zombies.

These stats will get saved to account if player is logged in.

I will add a video demonstration soon.

Zombie skins total size (34 gore skins): 250kb only (heavily optimized) and zombie moan/groan sound files about 77kbit each, no strain on client performance nor server (by the way, you can edit the amount of zombies and other variables in the beginning of zombies_s.lua;

New update added, changes:

- This time actually made the promise of low server/client performance usage, true. More optimizations. (resource eats only about 0.15% server CPU now
- Improved sync, added option to select syncer by lowest ping (disabled by default; change in variable .lua, may cause issues with players that have low FPSes..)

- Added option to disallow players hurting eachother while in the zombie field (variable in clientside .lua, called 'noPVP')
- Added option to respawn back players in the zombie-field when they die while in the area, at the hands of a zombie. (so only for participants) (variable in serverside .lua)
- Adjusted position of player zombiekill stats and made its box scrollable if too many players join the area for it to fill up.

New admin commands:
- /wipefield (removes all players inside the zombiefield, you can use this for various purposes like many AFKers distracting zombies to their positions for no good)
- /populate (selects and warps 5 random players to the zombie field; use with care, depending on your gamemode it may disrupt players if they get warped without asking for it; might be useful hosting zombiekill events)

Bug fixes:
- Fix limitation you could only headshot zombies. Now, you can shoot them anywhere on the body or blow them up.

Not by default, just go to the location with /zombies, and you must know the farm field its at right? (near SF airport)

It takes a while before they get to you, you have enough time to run after respawn. And the ease they kill you with adds to the difficulty factor, which I personally like. But you can easily change it ofcourse

This script has an issue when i stop this resource the skins of zombies remain there even if i delete the resource. I try to restart server and the zombie skin remains as it is. How to remove zombies skin without reinstalling server???

That's impossible, you must have something else going on (like another resource using the same skins)

I have newly installed server via linuxgsm in Linux ubuntu 18.04 64 bit  OS, it has no issues. The skins replaced the original one even after area_zombies script is stopped. The skins go away after 3 4 days, idk what happened. I tried to use that script after removing skins files (from meta and all txd) so that zombies are normals peds but still the skin is replaced with the zombies one. Maybe something funny with script is going on!
