Slothman/Zombies

This is a resource designed spawn the undead wherever a player roams outside. It works without any configuration or scripting skills needed, but there are a few option for gamemode designers to use.

Features

Skins: There have been many contributed skins that change peds to look like the rotting/gory undead

Semi-intelligence: Zombies are fairly mindless by nature, but they do have basic motor skills like being able to jump over objects, climb ledges, walk around corners, and break through barriers

Behaviour: Zombies endlessly attack any player or ped that isn't one of them, then feast briefly on the remains before wandering off in search of more flesh

Streaming: By default, anywhere a player goes outside will have a fairly dense population of zombies. this is done by deleting zombies that far away and spawning new ones within a close radius of the players.

Gamemode/Script integration: This script provides several functions and events to allow other resources to see and control the zombies

Helmet Zombies: zombie + helmet = big trouble! no headshots against these flesheaters.

Choose your apocolypse: server option allows you to choose between allowing zombies to spawn anywhere, only at certain spawnpoints, or only when a script tells it to

EDF: lets map designers pick where zombies spawn when that method of creating zombies is chose

Server Options

There are 2 server options to customize the script's effect.

MaxZombies

Allows the server to set the maximum allowable zombie population. Map resources can reduce this limit, but never exceed it.

StreamMethod

Tells the script how to create zombies. set this option to 1 to allow random spawning anywhere in San Andreas. Set to 2 to only allow zombies to spawn where zombie spawnpoints have been placed. Set to 0 to spawn no zombies automatically, but allow scripts to spawn zombies using the expoted function.

Server Events
