Description
Based on the mod "Stay Away From Windows" by k and Clem
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922443751

Main differences between this mod and the original "Stay Away From Windows"
1. Includes animation triggers to make it better appear like the zombies are crashing through the windows instead of just touching them and stumbling through.
The animations that can trigger are based on the zombie's speed type.
2. Includes sandbox options to check for speed/strength and to toggle on/off having specific speed types always crash through windows.
3. Includes a check for if the zombie is currently targeting something instead of smashing the window any time they touch it.
4. Includes a check for bandits

No longer has multiple versions!
Everything has been moved to one version of the mod with sandbox options.
Shouldn't break any saves, will just have to enable the new version and modify your sandbox settings.

Previously I would recommend Vaulting Zombies by Ham, but I actually managed to get vault animations to play based on zombie speed thanks to help from Ryuku!
Go check out their mods:

This originally just made it so sprinters could bust through windows while using the original mod's code.
However due to the expansions I have made to the original code, I decided to rename the mod as I would like it to not be a "copy" of the original and instead be an expansion on the original mod's idea.

No tips needed, but are appreciated!

Oh I should clarify, the superhuman strength mentioned is for slow shamblers, fast shamblers can be a bit weaker than superhuman and still crash through.

@marshmallow justice
The strength check means that it will do a minimum strength check on the zombie, if they are not strong enough for their speed type, they will not trigger the window crash. Meant to be played with randomized speed and strength enabled.

@Salesman by default shamblers will only crash through if superhuman strength I believe, however you can simply toggle them to always crash through via the sandbox settings toggle.

does it work on shamblers:steamthumbsup:

been playing with it while testing out our day one bandits server, works great !! love the animations
think probably sprinter only makes the most sense at least for us.
what does the toggle strength check mean, is it related to the zombie strength setting in zlore? like if if they are the highest strength they can smash but if weakest (ie. by random zombies) they can't?

Ahh okay, so it's more so this one is an improved Stay Away From Windows + but with all the sandbox options plus great vaulting animations

Whereas Vaulting Zombies lets them vault over fences/the other stuff?

I'll try your mod first for now though, love how it works in its previews and the animations. We mainly want them breaking through the windows like 28 Days Later. If it is likely to conflict with Vaulting Zombies, we'll leave that out for now. Thank you

This mod isn't a replacement for vaulting zombies, not entirely sure if they're compatible since vaulting zombies outright replaces the animation trigger instead of toggling it with a variable.

It is likely to actually be incompatible with "Stay Away From Windows" since they're messing with the same animation.

I've been considering adding sandbox options to do make zombies always vault, and an option to make it so no special animation plays at all and just breaks the window.

So if I use this mod, I don't need to use Stay Away From Windows + Vaulting Zombies? it serves as the same function but with sandbox options? Trying to do a playthrough with the parkour related mods and want to give Zombies some extra threat too.

Set minimum speed to 1 in sandbox settings

@saltyoreos is there a way to edit the sandbox options or something to make it to where it's only applied to sprinters? I have my game set up to where zombie Sprint between the hours of 2200 and 600 hours. I want this mod combined with that one that makes the people's head twitch

What do you mean by break right away though?
