Ambient Zombies Script

[natoed]

G'day All,

I use SM Zombz on my server but theirs an known issue- zed's will not attack a player vehicle so as a work around,

I'm using the below script to spawn ryan's zeds around a players position constantly too, so no one is safe in a vehicle.

Zombience.sqf  

this script is run from the mission file via the onPlayerRespawn.sqf , and I must say works bloodily well too.  Just if your diving or in a boat they still spawn and just scoot around like water skiers lol.

I have had a chat with Johnny Drama, he suggested  surfaceIsWater

I've tried and failed so many different ways, either it errors out or the zeds will not spawn , have also tried isTouchingGround

Has anybody else know of a better(ie: easy) way to add a check to the above script for player position with near, on or in the water so zeds will not spawn.

 

cheers

Zombience.sqf in the pastebin link above is the script I'm currently using.

NOTE: I'm using Grahame's so so  fuckn great changes see link below

So the zeds are spawned in as "EAST" side as all players are "WEST" on my server.

here my onPlayerRespawn.sqf below

I trust you have enabled ryan's zombies in the addon in  your mission.sqm, mine is below

addons[]=
{
	"A3_epoch_config",
  	"a3_map_altis",
	"ryanzombiesfunctions",
	"Ryanzombies",
	"Ryanzombiesanims",
	"Ryanzombiesfaces",
	"SM_Zombz"
};

Now I am sure you have added the ryan's zombies to your server + startup parameters

If still no zeds sing out I'll just post my mission.pbo for you.

cheers

Lol dude ,it doesn't make all players females.

Please read Grahame post again relating to changes to make with

1- compile/epoch_player/EPOCH_server_loadPlayer.sqf:

2- compile/epoch_player/EPOCH_server_revivePlayer.sqf:

with the above two changes players can wear female or male clothing plus I also run  Haleks -  Unlocked Uniforms

Yes when player is female and puts on male cloths the player character turns male and vise versa, these changes completely change epoch's ambience's.

Drokz check link in my signature for my little server, grab my mission file, help yourself to whatever you what.

 

cheers
