Yeah lol, they tend to taunt a lot. I swear I've seen a red zombie on occasion. As well, if you're not careful about where you spawn them (like you spam the command while looking at one area), they can end up in a pile somewhere. On the map I use, they end up stuck in a floor in where I believe to be 0,0,0 on the map. That's where the Slay commands come in handy.

Sentry Guns can target the zombies too, and they tend to take them out quickly. I really want to add a health parameter to the zombie command, but from what I've read on the Valve Developer Wiki about the "tf_zombie" entity, they don't have similar variables like Monoculus/Merasmus do, so no health additions, sadly.

Originally Posted by friagram You should change the names of the commands to be clearer, or only use one command an d spawn by name, and just store ent refs in an array. The healthbar should also be stored as an ent ref. also, the healthbar should be set up to work with all of the bosses.

I already changed the commands over to the ones that vman315 put in, hence the change to v1.1

As for the health bar.....yeah if I could fix the Merasmus health bar to accurately display his health, I'd do the same for Monoculus and Horsemann, but not Zombie because I like to spawn many zombies.

The most bosses that I have ever spawned was 9 merasmus, 24 hatmen, and 15 eyebosses at once. It was insane. The health bar will flip out of spawn 3 plus eyebosses. It would be nice if we could get a plugin to have boss health in the same layout as tanks.

Oh hey that's neat, they actual use souls for the zombie skins. It used to be just a human model. I did not know that they fixed/changed that.

I think that's actually possible.

We could probably figure out how to make the tank's healthbar from MvM show up in place of the halloween-based healthbar, and just tie it into the entity like this plugin does.

The parts of code in this plugin you'll need to tweak will be anything with m_iBossHealthPercentageByte in it.

Speaking of m_iBossHealthPercentageByte....why it isn't working is still beyond me. I'm going to look into that a bit further.

It's likely part of the MvM HUD, so it may not be possible to have it in a standard game.

m_iBossHealthPercentageByte is a netprop in the monster_resource entity.

See also: Horsemann Healthbar.

Tank health is visible in non-mvm game styles. At-least I have seen it when using this.

It's likely a moot point on bosses anyway, as it seems to be related to some of the CTFPlayer netprops (m_bIsMiniBoss and m_bUseBossHealthBar I think?). Bosses don't have those netprops as they're AI constructs instead of actual player bots.

Edit: Actually, tanks are their own class, so it may be that the health bar is associated with the tank entity itself. The other netprops I mentioned are for mvm_bigrock's bosses.

The merasmus plugin used Powerlord's horseman healthbar code.
Should probably look into that since it's shorter and easier to read.

I think it only shows 1/4 of it while the health is multiplied by 4 so that i can slay it once it hits the 1/4 mark. Just to skip the animation glitches when it tries to hide.

As for multiple bosses with multiple heathbars, i wonder if i can set a annotation on top of the boss which shows the health.

I know you can set annotations to appear over players heads, the same should work for entities. Here's something I was working on, I called it the "Admin Anno-tag" system. Feel free to use this for testing and such. Just don't release it as your own, or I'll...well...I don't know what I'll do yet lol. I'm still fine-tuning this to make it good enough to be released.

PHP Code:

public OnGameFrame() {
    for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) {
        if(CheckCommandAccess(i, "sm_tags_override", ADMFLAG_GENERIC, true)) {
            new bool:cloaked = TF2_IsPlayerInCondition(i, TFCond_Cloaked);
            switch(cloaked) {
                case true: HideAdminAnnotation(i);
                case false: ShowAdminAnnotation(i);
            }
        }
    }
} 


Went to fix the OnGameFrame part. Should be public or else it won't run.
GetMaxClients() is also depreciated, so i changed it to MaxClients
Also changed GetUserFlagBits(i) to CheckCommandAccess(i) so people can override Admin Generic to something else.

Anyways, thanks for the code. I obviously won't post it as mine lol.
I'll test this on bosses whenever i'm not lazy.

Oh my god, you sir are amazing with turning my old-school code into new-school code. I bow to you.
