Trip 'n' Fall

Description
Adds a chance for the player to trip over the zombies on the ground and fall down.
It does not affect the zombies.
It has sandbox options to adjust the trip chance.

This mod will change how you play!
With each kill, you will be creating environmental hazards for yourself.
(hmm... environmental hazards could be a good mod idea)

You'll have to be mindful of where you step and move accordingly.
Or you will trip, fall and hurt yourself.

Only way to make sure you don't trip is to aim walk.
Think of it as searching for a space to place your foot down.
Sneak walking is also currently safe but I might give it a low chance in the future.

I'd like to think that this mod will prove to be a major addition of a new gameplay mechanic.

Why this mod?
One would inevitably trip over while trying to walk over countless flesh and bones.
This should have been in the base game.

How does it work?
If you are moving through a square with zombies on the ground,
you will have a chance to trip over them or get lightly staggered.
Things taken into consideration when deciding whether you should trip or not:
  • Player movement state (walking/(sneak or not)running/sprinting)
  • Zombie on the ground state (alive/dead)
  • Zombie count
  • Player stats (professions/traits/skills/moodles)
  • On stairs or not
If you trip and fall, your hat, glasses and/or the items in your hands might fall to the ground. Also, you might get hurt!

To do
(maybe...)
  • Add a dropdown list for baseTripChances
    (-disable-stagger-fall-all)
  • Increase chance to trip at night
  • Include shoes in the equation
  • Grant XP for walking over zombies
    (on which condition?)
  • Play "walk in trees" anim when walking over corpses
    (clashes with existing functionality, gotta think about it)

Notes
  • There should be no conflicts with anything.
  • Safe to add/remove mid-save.
  • About multiplayer, server config doesn't apply to clients.
    Let me know if you know the fix.
  • Feedback/Suggestions are welcome.

My fourth mod.
Initial release took two days. I had fun writing it but figuring out how to trigger the tripping animation was a chore, as well as adding sandbox options.

o7 hopefully that guy checks this page again and gives some info lol

I have no idea about multiplayer stuff. Good luck figuring it out.
marshmallow justice Mar 13 @ 11:52pm 
Yeah, that's what I can adjust. So I'm wondering how to fix the problem the other user mentioned where he said clients on a server have different settings to the server settings and are tripping more often/or less. *scratching head*

This mod does't have ModOptions support, only settings are located in the sandbox options.
marshmallow justice Mar 13 @ 11:22pm 
hmm, I can access the sandbox settings, but I'm not sure how to address the problem the other user mentioned of client/individuals config having default trip settings (i would like to change it so walking will not trip). I went into main menu options, Mods (from old mod options mod) and i can't see anything, nor any specific tabs.

@marshmallow justice - I assume so. Someone reported it as such.
marshmallow justice Mar 6 @ 2:38pm 
when you say 'multtiplayer server config doesnt apply' does that mean the host sets, say, a high chance to fall, but then another player can either set 0 chance to trip/use lower vanilla value? the only way to make it sync correct is if all players set it same?

Been playing with this mod for like a week, is soo good and feels really immersive(adjusted setting in sandbox)
Thank you so much for making it and your other mods too. Really changes the way I play the game now:steamthumbsup:

It seems that the mod doesn't recalculate if you change the sandbox options mid-game. You need to quit to menu and reload.
