Yes, this is another one of my old SWEPs remade for gmod 10. But this SWEP works almost entirely differently. Anyways, here it is:

[center]-------------------------ZOMBIE OVERLORD-------------------------[/center]

Upon picking up the pherepod, a surge of strange and evil power rushes through you...


The sky becomes blocked by a thunderstorm, but this is no ordinary storm.



__________________________________________________ _____________________


You now have the power to do four things:

Raise Zombies from the dead



Command them



Drain their life away



And call down evil lightning


__________________________________________________ _____________________


Primary Fire: Raise zombies from nearby corpses (or any humanoid ragdolls)

One thing I forgot to mention: In case of headcrabs, primary fire possesses them to your side.

Pros: Somewhat long range, allows for almost limitless reanimation or fallen zombies or allies

Cons: Raised zombies are neutral towards other zombies and players


Secondary Fire: Tell your zombies to move where you're looking, or, if you're looking at an NPC or player, tell them to attack it. You can even make them attack eachother!

Pros: Allows for easy control of zombies, and for attacking other zombies and players that zombies would normally ignore

Cons: Slow rate of fire; zombies can't go everywhere or very quickly


Reload: Call down evil lightning to where you're looking. Anything within a small radius of the lightning will probably be killed

Pros: Highly damaging, allows more zombies to be raised

Cons: Wastes possible life siphon victims, friendly fire can be deadly


Use: Drain the life force out of anything you're looking at (and that's close enough). You can drain life until your hitpoints are 500.

Pros: Allows you to go above health cap

Cons: You can only suck as much health as the target has, the target can attack you while you drain, health resets to 100 when the weapon is holstered

:siren:THE NEW DOWNLOAD:siren:


BUGFIXED

By Wombo194, fixes some things.

BEFORE DOWNLOADING PLEASE READ:

- To reduce the storm's size, go to the top of the script and find the variable called 'opt'. It defaults at 2, change to 0 to remove the storm entirely. It is a multiplier, so be careful!

- To use the reload function, you must hold it down until the lightning strikes. I've been getting some confusion with this.

- You must raise zombies from ragdolls, you can't just spawn them then and there.
__________________________________________________ _____________________


:siren:Bugs!:siren:

- The lightning storm will fog up the place if you're inside a building. I kind of did this on purpose, but it lags. (very frequent, but negligible)

- Sometimes your evil light aura doesn't get removed when holstering the weapon. (sometimes occurs, very annoying)

- Storm position can get messed up (rarely happens, but it's annoying and ugly)

- Zombies can turn against you (very rare, only happened once to me, but very bad)

- Lightning positions get messed up (only in maps with small skyboxes)

- Storm lags when you look right at it

- Antlion guards cannot die from the life siphon (They don't lose health, you just gain health)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ

1. OPEN "13040_zombielord.zip" (name may be different for you)

2. OPEN "zombielord" folder (This is NOT an addon)

3. EXTRACT "lua" FOLDER TO YOUR "Valve/Steam/SteamApps/<steam name>/garrysmod/garrysmod/" DIRECTORY

4. ADJUST "opt" VARIABLE AT THE TOP OF THE "lua/weapons/weapon_zombielord/shared.lua" FILE TO YOUR LIKING.

5. Start a server and let the destruction begin!

The only army you'll ever build up is little green plastic army men :).

Anyways, this looks pretty cool. Necromancer style. I'm guessing it requires sv_cheats to be on though?

[shs]

Some of its stuff requires sv_cheats, but it turns it on automatically. This gun is admin-only, so you won't have power struggles on servers.

Holy fucking shit..2 Lua king's for you.

Will it turn it off automatically when it's no longer required to be on? :O

[shs]

The part where it turns on cheats doesn't seem to work anyway, but it does turn them off.

Heh, during testing I managed to convert an entire combine army into zombies, starting with about 5 zombies (each time they killed someone I'd raise his body and so on).

[Penguiin]

very fun swep, some glitches I noticed was that the zombies don't want to attack Antlion Guards and I sometimes can't get the laser (reload) to work. Also, the w_model has a typo

SWEP.WorldModel			= "models/weapons/w_pherepod.mdl"

Some constructive feedback would be to make the smoke over you a model with an animated material (like combine shield material)because I get like 10 FPS when I look up, and less smoke that surrounds you because it can sometimes get in the way.

Anyway, this is a very nice SWep and I think you should continue making unique scripts like this. :D

I've just tried this yesterday. When I attempted to raise zombies from corpses, it didn't work, I only could get it to work if a roller mine killed the person. But then again I was only doing it on NPC's, or will it work with other players?
Awesome SWEP! :)

Ok, it's broke for me. Here's some console stuffs:
LC: Error: [Scripted Entity Function] weapons/weapon_zombielord/shared.lua:485: attempt to index global 'unholylight' (a nil value)

I use SS, lots of different mods/addons/randomness, so it could be any number of confliction errors. The only thing that does work is the life siphoning, I hear the sounds and see the red glow too, and when I hold it, it's a error. When I left click, you know, red light goes in different directions, but nothing happens.

You have to hold down reload for the bolt to strike. Also, antlion guards are wierd and glitch up with this SWEP, I don't know why. Antlion guards would decimate zombies anyway.

You're not getting 10 FPS from the smoke aura, but from the particles in the smokestack thunderstorm. There isn't much I can do about this, since it's too skimpy looking if I reduce its particle count.

Awesome SWEP! :)

I was kind of taking advantage of the fact that in gmod 10, any NPC you kill makes a prop_ragdoll of itself. But some NPCs make 'ghost ragdolls' instead, that don't count and thus can't be raised. The same goes for players unfortunately, so you can't raise your friends as zombies :(.

It's always done that since I began this SWEP, yet there are no noticable errors with it, so it should be fine.

Oh, that explains alot, thanks :). Infact... everything works fine for me, after I loaded up my server again.

[Operator4]

Will you be able to fix the laggy cloud.

[skidude28]

Yeah, the cloud is laggy as heck. You might want to reconsider the size of it

[overlordphat]

whenever i try to load a map it just closes me out of Gmod because of this weapon, that sucks :(

[shs]

Operator4 posted:

Well, I could change some keyvalues, but it wouldn't lag much less, and it would also look considerably less imposing. As long as you don't look right at it, it shouldn't lag too bad.

Yes, Yes I did.

And it would be way too easy to make custom animations for it.

[Bink]

I do not know if anyone said this but when you spawn a camera there is a error on your head and other players can see it too

[shs]

That is because of that typo that was already mentioned. Apparently, it's "w_pheropod", and not "w_pherepod".

Knock yourself out; if you do animations you'll get a thanks and a credit in updated version.

According to that console quote, it worked after you turned cheats on. The 'attept to index global zombiestorm/unholylight' thing always occurs; I don't know how to fix it but it doesn't seem to do anything.

[yaoifanboy]

It doesn't do anything just lags,won't even make zombies

You have to pile some corpses first; also the snokestack is hard on your CPU.
