How can you increase the number of zombies without crashing the map? I'd like to have this in a large map where a crowd of them come running at you. I think someone talked about spawning drones Quote:Use drones and you can push out 64 zombies, possibly even more but not sure what the performance hit would be for co-op.

Drones would probably work well in a zombie map and I've been thinking about using them myself. The best way to go about it is to read through the _drones.gsc and check out any maps that might use them. They are used a lot in the campaign for instance.

Babycop's meadow map has drones in it. The source files are in the download section.

This only helped figure out how to get the drones into my map. Now how do I make them "think" and "act" like a zombie?

We can only get 32 zombies in the map. That's all the game will allow. If we can make zombie drones, we can add another 60-100 plus more zombies on top of that 32! This would be great for a giant map where it would appear like the whole city is chasing you!

I have practically re-written the drones script for use in some maps. I have a more advanced understanding on how drones work now that I have worked with them. You can use the stock "_drones" script if you want, but that, if i remember, will only limit you to 32 drones. Also, if you want the drones to attack the player(s), you have to completely code all of that! The drones were really created for having the effect of more than 32 AI and were not made to search for the player(s) like AI do. I have created a simple drone that can search for players / Allie AI and will "fire" at them. As for zombie drones, you would have to completely redo the entire drone system! Drones don't use path nodes and such like AI do. They follow set paths and randomly pick them. There is disadvantages to a large number of drones though. It is why we are only allowed 32 AI. Having that many drones / AI can cause execution lag, or sludge in game play do too to many things going on at one time.
nullFew tips for coding. 1. Keep the script as short as possible. 2. Don't comment every line. Only comment portions where they may be needed to point something out. 3. Don't over complicate the script, keep it organized and easy to read. These help you find simple errors and makes it easy to make changes.
