Last Push Trait

Description
Adds a new trait that may save your life when zombies surround you.

Just a moment before you are eaten alive, you gather all your strength and push zombies back, earning the chance to escape.

Do check your wounds, though. You might've only delayed the inevitable...




⚠️ Does not work in Multiplayer ⚠️




Usage

The ability is activated automatically, in two cases:

1. "Drag Down"
In vanilla, if you are surrounded by enough zombies you get locked into "Drag Down" animation that always results in your death.
The ability may* trigger immediately when this animation starts, preventing you from dying.

2. "Hit Activation"
Since the "Drag Down" can be disabled in vanilla settings, this serves as a fallback option.
With default settings, the ability may* trigger when you take damage by a zombie and there are more than 8 zombies in 1.5 (tiles?) radius.

* note that there is an Endurance Cost & Requirement for the ability to actually activate - read more below.


Endurance Cost & Requirement

Ability consumes 20% of endurance and adds 40% of tiredness (fatigue) when triggered.

It will not be triggered if your endurance is <50% (High Exertion & worse) or your tiredness is >80% (Very Tired & worse)

All these values can be changed or disabled completely.


Balancing

Everything is customizable!

Use Change Sandbox Options (by Star) for changing sandbox options at any point in the game.


Trait Cost

The trait costs 10 points by default. You also earn it at 10 strength.

You can change the cost by enabling one of the submods.

Current options are: 12, 16, 18, and 20 points.

To remove the trait from character creation enable LastPushTraitNotPickable submod.
This makes the trait only accessible when a customizable strength level is achieved.




Inspiration

(The Walking Dead series spolier - do not read unless you watched it all)
The scene where Rosita fell down and was swarmed by the dead, but when it seemed like she's done for, she pushed all the walkers back and escaped. Too bad she got bitten...

@Romashka Thank you for pointing this out, added "Usage" section to description.
Short answer: automatically when you are overwhelmed.

Hi - very cool mod - a bit unclear - do you have to press any button to activate it - or does it happen automatically when you are surrounded by zombies?

Nice, thank you

@KWG
By default, you earn the trait at level 10 strength.
You can change the strength level or disable earning the trait in "Last Push Trait" sandbox settings tab.

@door I'm sorry this happened.

No, the amount of zombies pushed is currently unlimited - all in configured radius will be pushed.
Good suggestion though, noted! :sadisthappy:

Does the amount of them you can push increase/decrease dependent on your strength stat?
