Here's a pretty neat effect I created based on Left4Dead's car alarms...when you shoot the car, it sets off an alarm and spawns a horde of bond1s fast zombies...check out the video below and let me know what you think :

P.S. Low FPS caused by video recorder, the actual FPS was always above 25.

If you can see the enemy, they can see you.

My laptop is pretty mid-range:

Intel core 2 duo 2.7Ghz
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 1GB

I think it's mainly due to Project Blue's incredible performance and timer based system, which really smooths things out

that's incredible, hopefully the migration can have that performance.

Ahha! Found it! (read my YouTube comment if confused)

I need to make me one of those! I'd be useful in so many games. It's really awesome that you keep finding out ways to homebrew big budget game's effects for FPSC... You rock!

Hey, wait... could you put a different sound (ie. a clinking sound) and attach to a small mobile dynamic entity (ie. a can) and trigger enemies when bumped ala Fallout 3? It gets the wheels turning

Haha, nice one! I never would have thought that such a huge number of those would work that well at once!

Hehe, well, aside from some collision issues (as you saw with the wall zombie) and the fact they cannot avoid walls (will be fixed with update V1.17 and DarkAI ) they work perfectly fine, and i love those zombies.

Quote: "could you put a different sound (ie. a clinking sound) and attach to a small mobile dynamic entity (ie. a can) and trigger enemies when bumped ala Fallout 3?"


Hm, detecting when the object is bumped might be difficult, but I guess you could use the plrdistwithin=5 (or some other small number) and trigger the zombies that way.

And here are the scripts, so you can use this awesome feature in all your games! :

Give this script to the car (ensure it is dynamic):



Give this script to a dynamic red light on the car to give the player a warning that it will set off an alarm:



Give this script to a white light which will flash when the alarm is set off:



And you're all set. Set up the zombies with standard activation spawn settings (Spawn at start no, etc.) and adjust the spawning options to your liking.

You WILL have to change the zombies actual scripts though - change:

plrdistfurther=300 to plrdistfurther=3000
plrdistwithin=300 to plrdistwithin=3000

Just to make sure the zombie always follows you. The sound is attached to this post. Enjoy!

Also, if anyone's interested, I've also set up a cool "mob" feature, where if one zombie detects you, the rest in the immediate area will also attack.

Annnnnd and this line to your zombies for awesome blood (so long as you have AirMod or a mod which supports it):

:shotdamage=1:bloodspurt=1,bloodsplash=10

That is exactly what I have always wanted!!!!!!!

And for some reason I can't view any YouTube videos right now but, all your other stuff looks very pro, so this is probably too. I love how you make everything possible with FPS Creator. You rock indeed!

OH! it worked! It was so awesome! Does this only work with PB or does it also work with Fenix?


Heimo Vesa ROCKS!!!!!

This will work with Fenix Mod, and stock for that matter. All you need to do is switch etimergreater with timergreater etc.

Thanks for your comments
