| Sektor, you can actually set it to NO_WEAPON you know. How else do you think they did the prison in the second level? That (if you look in the editor) is a gang area :D From there, you can make the gang hate the player but they'll rip him out of a car and then punch him to death. Impossible to damage the car unless you had ALOT of coding, such as is player in car, store punch etc, but could work... Also, if your using just one remap for the zombies, it'll work with the gang area, otherwise if you have say 4-5+ seperate remaps, there's no way of doing it. One exception is editing the Redneck remap, as you can actually use both remaps in the same map (again, as shown in the 2nd city). I think Sektor might have my help page (I do, but I'm using a friends PC atm) and I talk about how to add them in properly. As a note, you cant get any other 2 remaps to work (as far as I know) other than the redneck ones. Missions shouldn't be that hard to do, depends on what you want to do. Same applies to multiplayer as well. GTA2 scripting can be quite powerful at the best of times. Feel free to ask some more questions, I'll be (and I think Sektor will be as well) happy to (try) and help. Sounds like my old idea for a map called 'Zombie Nation' where you could kill civilians for time (like +2 seconds), as well as cars, cops, gangers etc until the end. Good old Resident Evil 3 eh? My idea can work easily with yours :D (Just I'm shit at making my own graphics :P) ------------------  Quote: "Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis.

If you can detect a pedestrian touching the car you could just use that and assume anyone touching it will be a zomby who will be attacking? I think it would make for better gameplay if you just made them try to pull the player out of the car rather than let them damage the car.You can't slowly damage a car with script code although you could make it instantly explode. I don't think there is a way to detect if a car is being punched. IF ( CHECK_WEAPON_TYPE_HIT_CAR ( car , by_punch ) ) That doesn't work, the by_punch damage type is only meant for peds. That way cars are still not totally safe. ------------------

| Only way that could effectively done would be to almost make a rolling IF statement based on where P1's car is... all the time! I doubt GTA2 could do such a thing, but I don't really know of any other way of doing it :! BTW, where is the dude now? Aint heard from him lately... heopfully not made a runner and nabbed the idea, or just abandoned it altogether... we'll see... ------------------ Quote: "Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis.

| Sektor, that is one way of doing it I agree, but what size is the map? Small (like Tinytown), med or large (like the official maps)? Just seeing how best to get this to work. It is a problem that only 4 gang members attack you at any one time, but I think its hardwired into the game. Of course, you could make thousands of characters and dot them around the city and then do a check if certain peds are on screen with player, then attack (I dunno if this'll work). Also Sektor, your mentioning that when you attack this 'gang', the respect doesn't go down, and I know why. The phone coordinates you put in (in this case it's 0.0 , 0.0 , 0.0) makes GTA2 assume its not one of the 'main' gangs in the city (such as prisoners in second level) and thus will not go up or down. And even if it DID go down, there would be no way of getting it back up as would be the case with other gangs (such as Zaibatsu hate Krishna, kill some Krishna to make Zaib respect go up). So, what I'm seeing is that this zombie gang is just a 'passive' gang that wonders around the city, and not a gang you can get missions from. If you wanted missions, you could just add another gang in there as well so that they can hate someone (such as a cop gang). So, thats my $0.02 on this! ------------------ Quote: "Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis.

| Ah yes, now I understand why its being odd (the gang), I forgot something completely! After the coordinates for the gang phone (still 0.0 0.0 0.0) is the respect count right? For a normal gang, setting at 1 is fair enough, but a passive gang should have 0 instead! So you DON'T need to make a phone for them at all... E.g. Code: SET_GANG_INFO ( zombie_gang , 1 , no_weapon , no_weapon , no_weapon , 0 , 0.0 , 0.0 , 0.0 , 0 , BUICK , 3 ) Making the player change remap after he dies is easy enough, but what will the game do then? As in, could the player do missions or something? Just curious... I don't know how many respawning characters you can have, but it would either be based on the hard coding of the game, or your physical RAM (probably the previous, or 65,536 peds). I haven't had a look at the script docs to see how many it can take... but as a note you can declare one character AND spawn him in multiple locations! You can then issue one command (e.g. kill P1) and every character will do that task! Ok, it's a lame way out, but you could put in if 1 zombie is killed, 2 spawn at X and Y, thats what I did for one of my mini multiplayer maps :D Also, if you want the zombies to LOOK LIKE normal dummy peds, you would have to CREATE the characters and then use the following code: Code: SET_CHAR_GRAPHIC_TYPE ( zombie01 , DUMMY_GRAPHIC , 32 ) Or whatever the remap is. That way it'll look really cool :) ------------------ Quote: "Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis.
