[VJ] Zombified CSO2 SNPCs 2

---

---

There are 5 stages of infection, the first of which has the zombie be incredibly agile at the cost of endurance, while the latter stages trade their agility for durability and strength. You can idenfify the stage of a zombie based on skin coloration and generally how fast they are moving toward you.

All zombies gradually progress toward higher stages of infection, with progression becoming notably faster with each kill a zombie makes. Zombies in later stages can also regain their agility by either killing enough survivors, or by becoming enraged by nearby survivors.

If the zombie is killed and the health pool is greater than its max health, then the an amount of health equivalent to the zombie's max health is subtracted. The body will gradually regenerate health until either it either runs out of health, or it reaches the zombie's max health at which point it will reanimate.

If the zombie is killed by bodyshots(as in the majority of damage done to the zombie was bodyshots), the max health will not be subtracted and the body will reanimate twice as fast. This probably shouldn't happen too much anyway because bodyshots have a massive damage penalty(50-98% dependent on stage), but I thought I might warn you. There is a gib effect to show that you did enough headshot damage to apply the penalty.

Also, if you shoot the body while it's regenerating it won't do any damage. I tried implementing that but it crashed the game (this may be subject to change though). The last thing is that certain stages are far more prone to repeated reanimation than others. For example, the first stage may get up multiple times without any kills due to the relatively small max HP compared to the regeneration pool, while the last stage basically gets a free reanimation for each kill it gets (ie. don't get killed by it).

You can also get infected when you are hit by a zombie, determined by (your health/damage inflicted), and the rate of infection is directly determined by how much health you have, ie if you have like >20 health you'll zombify almost immediately, while if you're at full health it can take quite a while.

When you are zombified 90% of the time it'll just be a citizen because alot of this mod relies on visually being able to identify the stage of the zombie, and bonemerging (doing what that Lethal Necrotics Mod did) doesn't really quite allow that. If you do use a citizen model it will correctly give the model you had at the time of zombification. It also correctly gives you a zombified version of the model you are using if you are using alyx or chell (I was originally going to do a broader addon with Zombified HL2 and Portal, but I got bored and frustrated, and then life got hard, so I quit), or if you use one of the CSO2 Playermodels (which you can find here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2843006746) for reasons that should be obvious.
