So I'm making a nice little Zombie Unit for my mod in Zero Hour, so far after several Errors of the Serious kind it's actually working fairly well. He can attack alright with a convincing enough melee strike. But I've got a few issues:

-- When I press the Guard command button, the Guard icon covers more then the entire screen.
-- After he attacks, he'll get stuck looping his attack animation, even while moving.
-- He will only attack enemies automatically if the enemy walks right next to him, due to the default range of his weapon.

I'm not sure how to fix these problems. I'll post the code for the Zombie and new weapon in the next couple of replies.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any old friends still on here can add me on discord @jcdenton2187. I'm far more likely to respond there.

Zombie unit's code:

End

Could someone also tell me why the Code embed tag things keep removing the spaces even though they're designed specifically to NOT remove spaces?

Alright, I figured out what was wrong with the first problem and how to fix it.

Change this:

 ConditionState = FIRING_A
Animation = UIWRKR_SKL.UIWRKR_BDA
AnimationMode = LOOP
TransitionKey = TRANS_START_FIRING
End

Into this:

 ConditionState = FIRING_A
Animation = UIWRKR_SKL.UIWRKR_BDA
AnimationMode = ONCE
TransitionKey = TRANS_START_FIRINGA
End

(I also changed the first time TRANS_START_FIRING was mentioned in the code to TRANS_START_FIRINGA.)

But now he's kinda frozen solid like a mannequin unless he's just finished attacking... Move him and he stops and stares blankly into space not moving a muscle....

The code you've removed with ;[code] could probably be removed altogether other than that it looks fine to me

You shouldn't use the stinger soldier as the base code for a unit like this. You would have been much better off using the terrorist because it has a similarly short ranged weapon.

-- When I press the Guard command button, the Guard icon covers more then the entire screen.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

Well I looked at the Terrorist's weapon and found this:

LeechRangeWeapon = Yes

I added that to my Zombie's weapon, but no change. I saw nothing in the Terrorist's own code that would help me, unless I missed it... 😞

In other news, I added some sounds for the Zombie. JarmenKellVoiceDie, which sounds the closest to a suffering undead person. 😁

Alright, I've gone through and commented out the only piece of code that I could recognize as being Slave Code, but not very much change.

He still doesn't automatically attack enemies while standing still, I have to either order him to Guard an area or just manually order him to attack.

Good news is that Guard is working flawlessly for him, and that he DOES retaliate if attacked by another enemy.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Ugh, and can someone PLEASE tell me why the Code Tags aren't working right for me?

Gee you're a big help.

...

Just kidding. xD I may as well do what you said, I'll try modding a Terrorist and see if that makes any difference.

And THANK YOU for telling me how the Code Tag works.

He still doesn't automatically attack enemies while standing still, I have to either order him to Guard an area or just manually order him to attack.

Good news is that Guard is working flawlessly for him, and that he DOES retaliate if attacked by another enemy.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Zombies should make the victims become more zombies.

To achieve this effect, have the zombie weapon use an invisible projectile that creates a zombie when it dies.
The down side to this is that the player can spawn zombies by force firing on the ground. To prevent this, have the weapon choose sources not include player, AI only. The player just controls the dummy weapon. Also the target objects should have a special destroy die death for the deathtype of the zombie weapon (zombie weapon should use an unused death type) so that they just disappear when killed by a zombie.

Another way: When infantry dies to a zombie, it creates a crate that the zombie hits since it is close to it when attacking, and the crate makes another zombie. The crate can look like a zombie too so you don't see it as a box.
