Answered Zombie Attatchments

[jcal147]

I have been wondering about this for awhile now. Is it possible to add attatchments to your weapons in zombies via script?

Good question, if you pack-a-punch them you get random attachments however I also don't know yet if you can force them since it seems to differ from Multiplayer.

Yeah it is.

Yeah it is.

That's sure but how, someone should take a look into the packer punch script and find it out.

That's sure but how, someone should take a look into the packer punch script and find it out.

Here is "my" pack-a-punch script:

packAPunch()
{
    weap = maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_base_name(self getCurrentWeapon());
    weapon = get_upgraded(weap);
    papGun = "zombie_knuckle_crack";
    if(isDefined(weapon))
    {
        self TakeWeapon(weap);
        self GiveWeapon(papGun);
        self SwitchToWeapon(papGun);
        wait 2;
        self playSound("zmb_perks_packa_ready");
        wait 1;
        self TakeWeapon(papGun);
        // Here it returns the weapon options (camo, attachments)
        self GiveWeapon(weapon, 0, self maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_pack_a_punch_weapon_options(weapon));
        self GiveStartAmmo(weapon);
        self SwitchToWeapon(weapon);
    }
}

get_upgraded(weaponname)
{
    if(isDefined(level.zombie_weapons[weaponname]) && isDefined(level.zombie_weapons[weaponname].upgrade_name))
    {
        return maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_upgrade_weapon(weaponname, false);
    }
    else
    {
        return maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_upgrade_weapon(weaponname, true);
    }
}

The answer is in the original GSC file maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons. It randomizes weapon data and then calculates the weapon options based on the results:

get_pack_a_punch_weapon_options( weapon )
{
    if ( !isDefined( self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options ) )
    {
        self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options = [];
    }
    if ( !is_weapon_upgraded( weapon ) )
    {
        return self calcweaponoptions( 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 );
    }
    if ( isDefined( self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options[ weapon ] ) )
    {
        return self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options[ weapon ];
    }
    smiley_face_reticle_index = 1;
    base = get_base_name( weapon );
    camo_index = 39;
    lens_index = randomintrange( 0, 6 );
    reticle_index = randomintrange( 0, 16 );
    reticle_color_index = randomintrange( 0, 6 );
    plain_reticle_index = 16;
    r = randomint( 10 );
    use_plain = r < 3;
    if ( base == "saritch_upgraded_zm" )
    {
        reticle_index = smiley_face_reticle_index;
    }
    else
    {
        if ( use_plain )
        {
            reticle_index = plain_reticle_index;
        }
    }
/#
    if ( getDvarInt( #"471F9AB9" ) >= 0 )
    {
        reticle_index = getDvarInt( #"471F9AB9" );
#/
    }
    scary_eyes_reticle_index = 8;
    purple_reticle_color_index = 3;
    if ( reticle_index == scary_eyes_reticle_index )
    {
        reticle_color_index = purple_reticle_color_index;
    }
    letter_a_reticle_index = 2;
    pink_reticle_color_index = 6;
    if ( reticle_index == letter_a_reticle_index )
    {
        reticle_color_index = pink_reticle_color_index;
    }
    letter_e_reticle_index = 7;
    green_reticle_color_index = 1;
    if ( reticle_index == letter_e_reticle_index )
    {
        reticle_color_index = green_reticle_color_index;
    }
    self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options[ weapon ] = self calcweaponoptions( camo_index, lens_index, reticle_index, reticle_color_index );
    return self.pack_a_punch_weapon_options[ weapon ];
}

So now it should be obvious how to customize it. It's actually somewhat like on Multiplayer

self GiveWeapon(weapon, 0, self calcweaponoptions( camo_index, lens_index, reticle_index, reticle_color_index ));

There you have it.

The answer is in the original GSC file maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons. It randomizes weapon data and then calculates the weapon options based on the results:

get_pack_a_punch_weapon_options( weapon )

self GiveWeapon(weapon, 0, self calcweaponoptions( camo_index, lens_index, reticle_index, reticle_color_index ));

There you have it.

Yeah, no. That is how to change your retical. Check _zm_weapons, somewhere about 1/3rd down there is a load attachments script where the level stores attachment data.

 

[BullyWiiPlaza]

True... I was being sloppy and didn't read but it's actually the same as on Multiplayer. Here's the attachments table (taken from pap_attach.csv):

Here's an example code by me for "buying" an upgraded weapon with its default attachment:

buyWeapon(weapon)
{
    baseWeapon = maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_base_name(weapon);
  
    // No attachments and upgraded?
    if(weapon == baseWeapon && maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::is_weapon_upgraded(weapon))
    {
        unpackedWeapon = maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons::get_base_weapon_name(weapon, true);
        weaponStruct = level.zombie_weapons[unpackedWeapon];
      
        if(isDefined(weaponStruct))
        {
            defaultAttachment = weaponStruct.default_attachment;
          
            if(isDefined(defaultAttachment) && defaultAttachment != "none")
            {
                // Add the default attachment
                weapon = weapon + "+" + defaultAttachment;
            }
        }
    }

    self maps/mp/zombies/_zm_weapons::weapon_give(weapon);
}

The other attachments are returned with this:

attachments = level.zombie_weapons[unpackedWeapon].addon_attachments;
