So im guessing that the barrier there is just for show? We're still working on the barrier problem. It may miss the first release along with the waves.

Why not, instead of using individual planks, have an animated barrier entity, (like in ButterCutter and Cutter-Next Level), that has an animation where the planks fall down, and each time a zombie attacks it, use the decframe command, and when the player repairs it, use the incframe command...

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.

The proble is that this problem is not a script. It is hard coded into the mod and so we would need to post the whole of the source code on the forum. And as of yet, this mod does not have free source code.

I am now going to have a look at the cutter next gen wall entities. Does the same happen with any of their wooden barriers? Also could you post a download link for the other pack that Coffee Grunt posted (butter cutters)?

@Shadowfire

Nice. How about these for some overlays:

"They come from the dark..."

"Hell is here"

"JZ was here"

Also, release them with Z-Mod. It will give somthing for even more people to look forward to

Just out of curiousity, this problem wouldn't happen to involve the zombies having difficulties targeting and attacking multiple barriers before the player would it?

Why are you destroying it to begin with? Wouldn't it be easier to leave it active and only deal with it through a script?

If you're wanting it to be damaged and thought that having it destroyed would be the only way, then perhaps you can do this:
- Give the barrier 1000 health
- Check if the barrier has less than 900 health left (if it's initial health was going to be 100)
- Once it has less than 900 health, you can treat it as though it were destroyed. Turn collision off, hide it, etc.


The one and only,

Well these are the two methods of it working:

Zombie within X or barrier Y, wait Z, coloff, alphafade = 0, (rebuild: person pressing A, colon, alphafade = 100)

Zombie within X or barrier Y, wait Z, coloff, alphafade = 0, (rebuild: destroy, barrier set to infinate spawn so the physics are re-written.)


Knxrb is the one who is writing this and apparently the problem is turning collision on. The dark physics needs to be re-written of sommin. He will be able to answer in more detail any questions. I'll see if he's on msn now.

no, it's an overlay i made with paint!
the reason it has a shadow is because i haven't been able to put it right up against the wall, i'll try and move it closer.

Well, with ODE, turning physics on and off for an entity was fairly simple and straight forward. Now that I'm thinking about it, has he gotten around to recoding the "COLON" command to be used with DarkPhysics? That should work the same way.

In any case, this doesn't look so complicated that it requires the use of source modifications.

I realised that you are releasing media with this. And, just to improve my skills I could do a couple of segments for you and e-mail them to you. And some huds too if wanted.

@Metal Devil123

That would be great metal devil, thanks


@Plystire

The BIG problem ply was the distance detection command because no mod can detect the distance of two objects from eachother. There was also no method of stopping the player with a barrier, without stopping bullets and zombies as well. And the modification simplifies all of the script and puts them into one package making it easier for noobs to use.

ok, that's it...

a newbie is someone who is new to a game/software/job/whatever, and is willing to accept help from other people to get better at what they're doing.

a noob is someone who isn't willing to do anything for themselves in a job/game/software, and constantly wants other people to do things for them.

That would be great. If you could do any of these that would be great. How about:

Rubble (several different types)
Teleporter
Electrical Wires
Cages
Large Containers (stuff like acid ect...)

Cant think of anything else, anyone?

Arenas, I have a request, you think by any means i could convince you to release the radio script early? I'd really like to be able to include it in the demo of my game, as the full version will hopefully fully feature it

Have a horrifying good time

The script for the radio is very basic. I would advise that you just add in to the music or sound fpi a condition which will wait until enter is pressed. Then basically all you need to do is to put the sound zone in the same zone as the radio, which should be on static. There is no script for the radio and this means that sound and music can be changed very easily.

Im making a remake of 'Der Riese' and have the basic setup for a 'Shi no numa'. You can do any of the maps apart from 'Der Riese' really Im not sure that they will be able to be official Nazi Zombie Maps.
