Apocalypse time for zombies! Cool!

By kurochama March 2019

Ok, now that I've checked the newest version & it has totally worked, I think I'll give some stars :) . "Explosion bullet that doesn't damage survivors", this is what makes this mod cool. With this type of explosion bullet, you don't have to worry when shooting a survivor who is getting caught by SI. Normally, the explosion will deal very high damage in close range or even instantly incapacitate any survivors close to it. But this mod nullifies the damage. But again, just like what in the description, use at your own risk because the explosion may hit gascan during scavenge finale on certain campaigns or propane & oxygen tanks. & some objects can fly when hit by the explosion. . Well, good job on the hard works of fixing this several times until it finally worked :) . I look forward to the next mods :) .

Everything has been fixed in this version.

- Pros: Spawn M60 to every safe room - Cons: No perceived modification related to ammunition or damage ---------------------------------------------- - Final considerations: By the title this mod seemed interesting because it indicates that the M60 fires explosive ammunition, but that is not what happened. Just spawn 1 M60 rifle in each safe room. The M60 fired "only" explosive ammunition after loading with "Explosive pack". For those who enjoy the M60 is the ideal mod because every safe room will have one waiting, only that alone. It's worth mentioning that I used this mod only and so I do with everyone to be sure of its efficiency. If I am missing something, please ask the author to guide me. Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by explosive pack. But if i understood right, you used !explode and then next chapter only m60 fires explosion? If so, you need to tyoe in each chapter. It disabled by default. Plus. There is something wrong about explosion scripts like what kurochana wrote below. I'll check the problem when i have time

Emersonrick March 2019

- Even typing in the "explode" chat does not change the M60's ammunition. - The M60 only fires "explosive ammo" if we use the "Upgrade Explosive Pack".

Emersonrick March 2019

Correction of previous comment: -Even typing in the "!explode" chat does not change the M60's ammunition. -The M60 only fires "explosive ammo" if we use the "Upgrade Explosive Pack".

Kurochama found the problem about errors in the scripts. But now it has been fixed. Everything should work properly now

Everice March 2019

Then again... This mod doesn't give explosive ammunition to the gun. It has custom explosion on its own. The ammo still decreases normally. All it does is given a custom explosion effect to the gun

Emersonrick March 2019

Now I'm confused! If this mod does not give explosive ammunition, why does that name in the title? Another issue is that you claim that you already have explosive ammunition, but I did not realize any of that. Again I say, "I only notice explosive ammunition when I use the explosive package update." It is not a conflict since there is no other mod installed. Anyway, the fact of this mod spawn M60 is already something interesting.

Everice March 2019

I don't know what to call if not explosive. It has custom bullet which will explode when it lands a hit. You can look at the screenshots of it. My apology if the name leads a mistaken to you. I'll add some infos in tge descriptions then

Emersonrick March 2019

It's all right. Anyway I gave 4 stars, after all I liked this mod by spawning M60 on almost all maps without my having to play the mutation "Party to Pieces" where only has M60. Thank you.

Does the explosion effect of the weapon deal damage to survivors close to the explosion point too? It would be great if the explosion damage can be nullified on survivors, or at least greatly reduced (like only 10% damage when the explosion hits other survivors). Actually also made my own version & put the effect in OnGameEvent function, but because the explosion in my version deals heavy damage to survivors near the explosion point, I temporarily nullified the damage by reducing the magnitude point to 1, with the consequences of reducing the damage to only 1 or even no damage to any infected as well (but SI still get staggered by the explosion effect. & it's still a dead end to me as I don't use vslib in my version (only vscript & custom weapon script & scripted mode). . Anyway, actually I have some crazy ideas, but with my current knowledge of modifying weapon effect, I still can't make them to realization. Maybe you can make those effect to realization. I'll list the weapon effects for you, just in case you're interested in making any of these custom effect: 1. Martial shockwave effect (inspired by Dual Beretta Gunslinger in CSO). The effect is probably related to "onfiretick". When shooting, the survivor unleashes shockwave wind that pushes the zombies few steps behind (the clues I've been trying are "setorigin" & "zombie's eye position", but still no luck in making it) 2. Flinch/ stagger shockwave effect It's like the martial shockwave, but it causes the common infected to stagger like getting bashed by cricket bat (I get possible clues, but I'm not sure those can cause this effect. I've been experimenting "takedamage" script & putting "damage_bash value" but still no luck). This one can help survivor defend against horde when surrounded from all sides. 3. Laser beam effect The weapon infused with this effect will shoot laser beam in certain chance (I can only know how to make explosion & flame effects for now, but not the other effects. & I see that you've successfully made "Random Tank" effects that give tank various effects that give lots of fun & thrills at once. So, maybe you can also make this effect come true :) ). 4. Plasma shot effect The weapon infused with this effect will shot a plasma ball in certain chance (it will be great if the plasma explodes when hit & deal splash damage to nearby zombies). 5. Energy beam effect Like laser beam, but energy beam leaves beam mark on its path for few second & any zombies passing that beam mark will deal damage 6. Shock effect Weapon infused with this effect will shoot electricity in certain chance & the electricity can paralyze zombie when hit (the clues are probably scripts that stop zombies from moving when hit, or push back zombie but in vector location 0 or in other words, freeze zombie location. Maybe it can be done with "setorigin", but so far I've been experimenting "setorigin", its effect is more likely to teleport an object, not to stop/ freeze object. & the teleported zombie is more likely appeared few meters on the air). 7. Boomerang (this one is custom melee). Is this possible? The custom weapon will be thrown at certain range & return to the wielder as long as the wielder stays in one place. Otherwise, it will drop or disappear if the wielder doesn't catch it or it hits wall & bounces somewhere else. . Maybe you can vary other effects too as you like, to give more fun to the play :) .

Everice March 2019

yes. all survivors are nullify to this explosion damage.

Everice March 2019

Ahhhh.... i just checked it. i uploaded the wrong version. lol... it's a prototype file which in alpha state i used to use for testing

kurochama March 2019

Oh, I think I know the problem. On "OnGameEvent_weapon_fire", did you miss some brackets by accident? I tried to see the weapon rifle m60 function & found out that there's no bracket below the "if" function that triggers "Explosion(_ent)". After I put the brackets, every single shot made the common infected fly in pieces :D . & when I tried on the bots, they took no damage. Cool...!! I wonder if the magnitude is set to 1000 or 2000, will it become a "nuclear" explosion that devastates whole area?. . Btw, I checked the changelog & it's already updated newer than the version I downloaded. Does this latest version fix the missing brackets on m60 & also the error on console about "bonus" on line 86?

kurochama March 2019

Looks like something went wrong with the order of my latest comment. My latest comment was the one about missing brackets on "OnGameEvent_weapon_fire". & after I checked the newest version, the brackets are still missing. Could you check about this, & about "bonus" on line 86? In my case, the missing bracket on m60 effect was the problem of why the explosion effect didn't come out

Everice March 2019

it has been uploaded to the right file. so try to download a newer version of it. i usually put /* */ to cover an entire unfinished functions. so that's why it was remained in unfinished and i uploaded the wrong file yesterday. about 'bonus' it doesn't have something to do in this mod. it was a part of my custom function used to test my mods. and it has been disabled. if you look above that custom function it has been put in /* function */ which disables them. so it is no longer effect the main part

Everice March 2019

1. it can't be possible. for CI they won't gonna effect by SetVelocity() or ApplyAbsVelocityVector(). only objects class "player" can be affected. 2. as the above wrote. 3.Yeah that possible by using DebugDrawLine() to create such a beam then use DoEntFire() to damage them. 4.By scripts it possible but i don't think you can create such a custom effect like that. there might be the way but i'm not gonna make such custom effect like that 5.Same as 3. use DebugDrawLine() but put the timer to extends its appearance 6.Possible but you will need to use Precache() the lightning entity effect and must use various scripts to make it to works 7.You need to edit the animation in Sourcefilm maker to make such animation like that and use GetActiveWeapon().Kill() when user couldn't catch a weapon and when they throw it out. you'd need GetInvTable{} as well to check if Slot1(secondary) is valid or not

kurochama March 2019

So most of the weapon effects & custom melee are possible to make then. But I think the script clues you provided still seem difficult for me to understand the mechanisms. Well, I think I'll try to do more experiments using your clues then, especially the custom melee :) . Thanks for the clues. . Anyway, for weapon effect no.1 & 2, is it possible to recreate the stumbling effect caused by grenade launcher shockwave (radius stumble)? I've been thinking that the only way to make common infected stagger is by recreating the grenade launcher shockwave or bash effect of the cricket bat. But is that possible to recreate grenade launcher shockwave? . Btw, I tested this m60 addon & no explosion happened even after I had typed "!explode" (without quotation marks) to both console & chat menu (button "y") on the official map "Dead Center: map 2". Am I missing something here, like other commands to activate it?

kurochama March 2019

After testing the newest version, I have both bad news & good news for you... Let's start from the bad news first. When I tested this, I found errors on two location. The first one is about "Operation Fallen does not exist" (I wonder what that's about). The 2nd one that causes the explosion effect not to work is probably related to the missing brackets. When I typed "!explode" in chat menu, the command worked but not the explosion. Then I tried to modify the script by adding brackets & removing "if(!Applyall) & other "elseif" about list of all weapons just to test the m60 only, like this: Before= if(!ApplyAll) { if(weapon == "weapon_rifle_m60") Explosion(_ent); } After= if(weapon == "weapon_rifle_m60") { Explosion(_ent); } & the result was the explosion effect started to work without activation command. . I'll try to test once more by not removing the "if(!ApplyAll)", because I feel like the solution seems closer. I'll let you know if I successfully make the explosion work. But about "Operation Fallen", maybe you're the one who can check it, as I have no idea how that works for now.

kurochama March 2019

Oh and the good news... This mod works even on custom campaigns. I've tested on "City17" custom campaign (with the modified script without "if(!ApplyAll)" that automatically activated explosion without command "!explode"), & the explosion shot worked there :D .

kurochama March 2019

Oh, with "if(!ApplyAll), there come new errors on console about line 220 that made the explosion effect fail to work. I checked the function of "Tracetable.hit" but nothing was wrong on the function. I wonder what causes the errors. The command "!explode" worked & there's notification of the explosion activation though. Could you check about this?

kurochama March 2019

Looks like I found some clues after comparing your old version & newest version. The old version has two problems: "bonus" & the function "ApplyAll" that lists all weapons, but when the "ApplyAll" that lists all weapons is sorted correctly like the newest version, the mod works including typing "!explode". . Meanwhile, the newest version somehow has some mysterious problems. The "!explode" command works, but when activated, new errors show on line 220 about "Tracetable.hit" function. I still have no idea about what's wrong with line 220, or the "OnGameEvent_weapon_fire" function because the only difference I've known so far is the old version has "bonus" script & messed "ApplyAll" on all weapons (because of some missing symbols, I think) while the newest one has no "bonus" anymore & fixed "ApplyAll" on all weapons. . To make it simple, all you need is only fix the "ApplyAll" with list of all weapons in the old version to make the mod work. Then you need to do with the "bonus" script (though I think error on "bonus" doesn't affect the explosion effect at all after the "ApplyAll" formula with list of all weapons is fixed). I hope these all can help you investigate the errors :) .

Everice March 2019

From what you wrote. I think those errors aren't gonna affect the main part. Does explosion still work? Or not? Operation function will just error once since the timer will shut down itself if it spots any malfunctions. That function is for myself, doesn't has something to do with main part. And in this version the conditions are fixed.

Everice March 2019

Everything seems to fixed now. i decided to put every weapon in the table and call it from the func when weapon fires

kurochama March 2019

On the latest version on 19th March, the errors are just as what I listed on the comments. After activating "!explode", the console showed error on line 220 of "mainfile.nut", about "SetOrigin". When I checked the function of "SetOrigin", there's nothing wrong. & that error causes the explosion to stop working even though the notification says that the explosion is activated, after entering "!explode". . For that case, I took an experiment by copying only "function OnGameEvent_weapon_fire(event)" from the newest version to the old version, the explosion error was totally gone & the command worked like miracle. Maybe you'll know when checking the errors on console. I'm still not really good at reading the errors on console, so I can only point on the error from the first line saying "SetOrigin does not exist" when shooting with any weapons listed on "OnGameEvent_weapon_fire".

AlfredENeuman March 2019

If this works, all I can say is: WOW!

Everice March 2019

if it doesn't conflict any other vscripts/vslibs mods. it requires to play on Official campaigns and must be local host(online coop) or Singleplay for custom campaigns you will need to add mainfile.nut, scriptedmode.nut, vslibs.nut and folder name vslibs to custom campaign manually place it to scripts/vscripts then repack to vpk
