Description
"Do you believe in law of attraction? Either you're pulled toward me, I'm pulled toward you, or I push you away."


Somewhere in a plank country, survivors were on their way to go to a plantation house. While walking & shooting zombies, they talked about where all people in the village had gone. That's until Ellis saw someone.

Ellis: "I think we saw another survivor."
Nick: "Want to hear some predictions?"
Ellis, Coach, & Rochelle: "NO......"
Nick: "We're going to be in a trouble..."
Ellis: "That's just your feeling, Nick."
Nick: "& when was I wrong about my bad feelings?"
Ellis: "Yeah, & you just shot the pilot & we landed here..."
Nick: "& he was really turning into a zombie.
Ellis: "Just put it aside, I'm going to meet that person."

Ellis, as a country bumpkin too, instinctively just met that person. It turned out that it's a fat woman, facing to the opposite direction from where Ellis came.

Ellis: "Hello, girl. It's pretty dangerous to walk alone here. Join us. We're gping to head to the plantation house."
Woman: "........." *not responding*
Ellis: "Are you okay...?"
Woman: *slowly turned her body*
Ellis: "Oh my God...... Colorful one..." *started to freak out*

Ellis then ran away immediately, back to the team. He looked back once in awhile & that fat woman, that turned out to be a female boomer, just replied him with a creepy green while starting to wave her hand. Suddenly, Ellis freaked out even more. Just like a jumpscare in a horror movie, that female boomer just jumped forward very fast toward him. & then...... Their lips met...

Nick: "Ouch...... Looks like he got another woman..." *covered his mouth with his left hand while barely holding his laughter*
Coach: "Young'un..., I never thought that you're so passionate like that..."
Rochelle: "Ah... Now I want to watch some love dramas on TV..."
Ellis: "......... Oh sh*t no... I think I feel like I'm going to kill myself... That's supposed to be for Zoey...."


Just like Nick with his trauma on Disarmer Boomer, Ellis also started to have a trauma with a yellow boomer, & he would be the first to hide when seeing the yellow one...


Ok, that's for the short romantic background story between Ellis & this boomer :D . Now, about this boomer, he has a very strong "law of attraction" on him. He can either pull or push survivors as he likes. He's called "Magnetic Boomer".


List of features available on "boomer army - magnetic boomer.txt" cfg file:
  1. Magnetic Boomer Chance: The spawn chance of this "Magnetic Boomer".

  2. Magnetic Type: What kind of magnetic power applied to the survivors.

  3. Spawn Notification: This is tu turn on/ off the spawn notification.


Mechanisms of "Magnetic Boomer":
  • "Magnetic Boomer" will spawn based on the chance on "Magnetic Boomer Chance".

  • "Magnetic Boomer" has yellowish skin color.

  • "Magnetic Boomer" has 150 health. This health modification doesn't affect normal boomer.

  • Although only having 150 health "Magnetic Boomer" has 90% damage resist against any weapons except secondary weapons. It means that if your primary gun normally deals 90 damage, it will only deal 9 damage to this boomer. But with pistol, magnum, melee & other secondary weapons, the damage will be full damage.

  • "Magnetic Boomer" has different magnetic power based on "Magnetic Type". Here's the table for the types & effects:
    MAGNETIC TYPE
    EFFECTS
    Magnetic Type = 0
    - Boomer will be thrown to the direction of the attacker
    - When using vomit, Boomer will push the victim far enough
    Magnetic Type = 1
    - The attacker will be thrown to the direction of the Boomer
    - When using vomit, Boomer will pull the victim to his direction
    Magnetic Type = 2
    - The attacker will be thrown away from the Boomer
    - When using vomit, Boomer will push the victim far enough

  • The "Magnetic Power" has 2 seconds of cooldown on each activation.

  • The "Magnetic Power" bypasses wall. It means that if you shoot a boomer behind a door or thin wall, depending on the "Magnetic Type", you'll either be pulled to the door/ wall or thrown backward.

  • Molotov/ continuous fire damage can trigger "Magnetic Power".


& so another creepy boomer variant joins "Boomer Army Invasion".


NOTES:
  • If you use "Magnetic Type" that pushes survivors away from boomer & boomer is on the upper ground, you'll be thrown up to his direction far enough. So, it's better to shoot him only if he's on the equal or lower ground if you use this type of "Magnetic Type".

Awesome, thanks :steamthumbsup:

@Tri Tran , I just updated this mod. Now you can turn on/off notification via "Spawn Notification" on the cfg file.

I want to surprise my friends with your awesome Bommer mod :steamhappy:
kurochama  [author] 15 Jun @ 9:13pm 
@ Tri Tran , it shouldn't be difficult to add that feature. But why did you want to disable the notification? Well, this boomer is still safe enough to turn off the notification though. It would be different if it's "Shadow Boomer" or "Majin Boomer", as those 2 are pretty dangerous if there's no notification.
Tri Tran 15 Jun @ 7:27pm 
Can you add a feature to enable/disable notifications when "Magnetic Boomer" appears?

Nice story on that boomer XD, and fun to play around with in game
Oak 29 May @ 5:36pm 
I got it. Thank you!

@Unsants , & he/ she has a different nickname. "Possessive Boomer" :steamhappy:

@Oak , I didn't change the model at all as I only changed the color via scripts. So, there shouldn't be any errors. But probably different boomer skin mods might have different results, i case of other players use different boomer skin mods (I didn't use any boomer skin mod when testing this mod & other boomer variants).

I forgot to ask about your script mod. If another player join the server without mod will the model have any error?
