Mutated Common Infected (Vscript)

Description
"Do you know that some animals with beautiful colors are usually deadlier?"

& that's also applied to zombies. Yeah, with this mod, some common infected will glow, but that's also a reason why you must shoot them at all costs.

This mod is actually an experiment for my upcoming mod, "Boomer Army Invasion". Somehow, the method to change skin color via vscript that I used on special infected & tank didn't work on common infected, so that's why I took initiative to use glow instead. As this is still experimental, there's no cfg file yet. For the details of the glow colors & the danger levels, I'll explain it on the mechanisms below.

Mechanisms of "Mutated Common Infected":
  • Common infected will start to mutate when a special infectes spawns or when a survivor player is back from afk.

  • Here's the table of the types of mutations & the traits (from low to high danger level):
    Glow Color
    Traits
    Green
    (Acid CI)
    - Drops acid when attacking a survivor
    Blue
    (Disarmer CI)
    - Can disarm primary gun when attacking a survivor.
    Light Yellow
    (Vomit CI)
    - Biles a survivor when attacking
    Yellow
    (Troll CI)
    - Imagine getting punched by tank, but it's CI :D
    Orange
    (Inferno CI)
    - High threat
    - spawns flame on the ground when attacking a survivor
    Red
    (Suicide CI)
    - High threat
    - Explodes when attacking a survivor
    Purple
    (Coma CI)
    - High threat
    - Has 10% chance to reduce survivor's total health to 12
    - Causes black & white debuff when attacking a survivor

  • Each common infected will only have one trait.

  • The glow of the mutated common infected will show up only in medium range (around 5-6x melee range).


So, if you get bored of the normal common infected, you can try this mod. Imagine playing a minigame where you have to shoot the right common infected.


NOTES:
  • A known bug: If you're attacked by "Troll Common Infected" in a place where you can't jump (for example, vents), there's a chance that you'll get stuck on the ceiling.

@kurochama Much better, the game no longer crashes :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

@Kurochama Okay, I'm going to check it out again, see how it goes :steamhappy:

@Unsants , I updated the bug fixes on acid & flame spam bugs. I tested 50 common limit (normal limit is 30) & there's no problem. I haven't tested common limit higher than 50 yet though, as even vanilla bots started to struggle much with 50 common with colored glows & triggered numerous traits continuously.

@Unsants , some common infected that trigger acid & fire on the ground, & also the suicide common are usually the ones causing some lags if a survivor gets hit multiple times. I tested it with normal number of common before, because testing with increased number would increase the difficulty level several folds. Probably I'll add some spam fixes first, because there's a chance that acid & suicide common might spam the acid attack to trigger acid multiple times.

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can use this mod with one that increases the number of common infected, nor with a mod that removes the lag between common hits, as it crashes the game, I guess it's kind of understandable why it happens, but I think you should see some cooldown, or something for Spitter's acid that I see repeating this a lot, and quickly incapacitates survivors, I'm not sure if that's also due to the crash, it can be other things as well, I don't know if you'd like to add a common infected mutation chance when a special infected appears, so that there aren't as many mutated common infected and maybe the game is less likely to crash, and thus be able to adjust the probability of a common infected mutating, when a special infected is generated 🤔

@TheTeaa , I'm not sure, but basically it's possible to show amount of damage & the remaining health via event functions. But I'm still not familiar enough with adding health bar above enemies, as I usually only put the health display either on chat or instructor hints.

hey I think there are sourcemods for health bars above enemies and damage numbers like fortnite's. Do you think they could be done at some point kuro? :)

This mod with the RNG tanks, and "More Zombie Types" mods should make for an insane combo
