Sightseeing Mutation

Description
Experimental mutation where all infected ignore you to the best of my coding ability.

- Most* common infected ignore survivors. They will react to gunshots, but that's about it.
- Crescendo/Panic events will cause every common to brawl with each other. A few will still manage to target you, however. VScript is not perfect.
- When Finales start, every common infected will target the radio or switch or some random prop, or get angry at the air. Done as a temporary thing, otherwise every common will go after survivors.
- Special Infected will stand around. Some will wander like the Spitter and Smoker. Most of them have personal space, if you touch them you'll get clawed.
- Witch will notice survivors but only get angry if survivors keep touching her, but won't attack until someone attacks her.
- Tank will punch only if a survivor touches him.

- Survivors still have health and can die, but it is never permanent. You are always forced to respawn in the nearest closet, or back at the start if no closet exists.
- You can not fail in this mode. If everyone gets incapacitated, everyone is forcefully killed so they can respawn back.
- Survivor bots will never shoot since barely any of the infected will attack, but they will shove away any infected.

* A few commons that spawn from mini-hordes will somehow bypass the checks and target survivors.

Commands:
!nobots - Remove survivor bots, cannot be reversed.
!die - Kill yourself if you are stuck.

Crescendo events that last more than one wave will likely have all common infected chasing after you, but it should be easy to deal with thanks to every special infected being consistently good at ignoring you.

Know that you can't get any achievements in this mode, you doofs.

Not me, they should only claw you if you touch them and just stay still. Do you have any AI mod that affects specials or the hunter?
Reversepolius 26 Dec, 2024 @ 12:20pm 
are the hunters actively attacking anybody else?

And to respond: I was meaning "ignore the player" in a similar sense to Develop Commentary. Like, they'll still attack the other survivors, but not the player.

@Shadowysn Very simple as said, as soon as you uninstall this the zombies turn back into raging chimps.

Lol, infected petting mod.

@Prometheus
More or less.

So basically you turned the whole gameplay into a petting zoo?

Doesn't this already do what you suggested? Infected ignore survivors in this mutation.

I think it would be cool if you could make one similar to this, but where the infected just ignore the player. It would go great with a camcorder mod, for a Rec/Quaranting type vibe.
