Description
Some people kept talking about Screamer. But that's not why I'm here this time. Let other modders do that instead :D . I'll do my custom special infected in my own fun ways.

I remembered about a discussion about custom special infected back then when I suggested a "Dancer" for fun. & today when I just did some experiments for fun, I got the vscript materials for "Dancer" by coincidence. Because I'm still under "Boomer Invasion" project, so, I made a mutated boomer instead, a "Dancer Boomer" :D .

B: "Ok, I think I smelt something weird again..."
A: "You're not wrong, hehehehehe... This can be one of most annoying mutated boomers... But let's have some fun background stories first..."


In "The Passing" campaign when L4D2 stayed in a bar for awhile, Nick & Coach played billiard, while Rochelle just sat in front of a table, drinking. Ellis just went out somewhere. Not long afterwards, he came back, but his hands were covered in some disgusting liquid.

Nick: "Ah sh*t!! Can you wash your hands first before going in here...?"
Ellis: "Yeah yeah. I'm just heading to the wash room right now."

After few minutes, he showed up again. At first, all others survivors ignored him, but somehow he started to attract more & more attention with his weird movements.

Nick: "Ok Ellis, stop. You're distracting me with your ugly dance."
Coach: "Don't make an excuse Nick. Just admit it that you're bad at billiard. Heheheheh..."
Rochelle: "Maybe He would become a jockey if he were an infected. He's dancing like a monkey..."

However, after more than 30 minutes, he just kept dancing. Other survivors started to feel weird so they stopped what they're doing & came to him.

Nick: "How long are you going to dance like that? Did you hit right on your head when taking a walk...?"
Rochelle: "Look at his face. He doesn't seem happy while dancing."
Ellis: "Help me up man...!"
Coach: "What?!"
Ellis: "I don't know why, but my body just keeps moving & jumping like this..."
Nick: "........." *turned away from Ellis to cover his mouth with his right hand* "Hmhmhmhmh...!!"
Ellis: "This is not funny man...! Come on, do something...!"
Coach: "What the hell did you d-, Hmhmhmhmh...!!" *couldn't hold his laughter anymore*
Nick: "Now he looks exactly like a happy monkey kid, hehehehehe...!!"

As they had no idea of how to make it stop, they just stayed near him while enjoying him dancing for free. Nick couldn't stop laughing until he hurt his stomach. After 1 hour, Ellis stopped dancing.

Coach: "Ok, now tell us what you did when wandering outside."
Ellis: "I don't know man. I just walked carefully in some alleys to checks some areas for zombies, & I just touched that liquid when I was leaning on a wall for awhile. & you know what happened later. I just went back here & washed my hands."
Rochelle: "Probably, that will answer your question, guys..." *pointed out of window across the street. There's a fat woman doing some spinning ballet dance...*
Nick: "Ah good... Another colored boomer again... A funny one, this time. I like this one..."
Ellis: "Seriously, Nick..." *got annoyed*
Nick: "Don't you think that's a good idea...?"
Ellis: "What good idea? Doing some crazy dance to embarass yourself?"
Nick: "I meant, if you plan to entertain a woman..."
Ellis: "Ok now I don't get it."
Nick: "Imagine you doing that ugly dance in front of Zoey & she laughs hard..."
Ellis: "........." *got speechless for a moment* "Oh sh*t, you're genius, Nick...!! I'm going out to beat that dancing boomer outside then...!" *ran outside in joy*
Nick: "Good luck... Hehehehe..." *no longer held his laughter*
Ceach: "Yeah, I want to see him do that funny dance again too, hahahahahah...!!"


So, about this mod, this is a "pin-type" mutated boomer. Usually only smoker, hunter, jockey & charger can pin a survivor. But this mutated boomer can do it too, in his own funny way :D . I'll explain later on the mechanisms.


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

  2. Fatal Dance: This controls whether the dancing pin only lasts until the boomer dies, or until the survivor is incapacitated or approached by charger/ smoker.

  3. Dance On Normal Attack: When enabled, boomer's normal attack can also make a survivor dance.

  4. Spawn Notification: Enabled by default. Disable this if you want to hide this boomer's spawn notification.


Mechanisms on "Dancer Boomer":
  • "Dancer Boomer" will spawn based on "Dancer Boomer Chance".

  • "Dancer Boomer" has cyan skin color.

  • "Dancer Boomer" has 300 health. This doesn't affect the health of normal boomer.

  • "Dancer Boomer" has 50% evasion rate on any weapons other than melee. It means that he has 50% chance to be immune to damage done by survivors.

  • When getting hit by this boomer's vomit or explosion, the survivors covered in bile will dance. They will keep dancing until this boomer is killed. After this boomer is killed, they still dance for 13 seconds more before stopping.

  • The dance deals no damage. However, you're unable to do anything at all. So, if you're alone & this boomer vomits on you, just prepare to restart the round after becoming a punching bag by zombies & boomer for fun :D .

  • "Fatal Dance" affects the dance extremity. Here's the table of comparisons:
    FATAL DANCE = 0
    FATAL DANCE = 1
    The dance stops after Dancer Boomer's death
    - The dance won't stop
    - It stops when incapacitated
    - It also stops if smoker or charger is nearby
    No extra horde
    Horde will be called every 20 seconds for 1 minute
    (Semi Screamer? :D )

  • Hunter will prefer clawing the dancing survivor, while jockey will ride with his a*s on survivor's head in semi floating state (normally I could make it cancel dancing like when there's smoker or charger, but as this jockey's ride looks funny enough, I let it be :D )

  • Tips for survivor: Keep shooting & kill this boomer immediately. Shotguns or automatic guns are the best choices, as 50% evasion rate can still take much damage with continuous fire.

  • Tips for Boomer: Vomit & then hide or run as far as you can :D . Enjoy the victim dancing from afar until either his friends or common infected incap him. It's best used when tank is nearby, to help tank bully the dancing victim for fun :D .

  • The boomer bot will taunt the dancing survivor by singing some old songs (remember, he's a boomer... :D ).


With this mod, either you laugh hard at your dancing friends or your friend laugh hard at you. What do you feel like, to dance & at the same time panic at the disco with zombies...? :D


NOTES:
  • The dance uses charger's carried victim animation. So, if you have some xdr animation that changes the carried animated state, this dance will also change based on that custom animation.

@bebucz , thanks... :steamhappy: . You can enjoy it with your friends & give them this surprise, so you can laugh together when some of them start dancing.

@private frankie , I'm not sure about what you meant by "break". When I tested, there's never a serious problem. It's simply a boomer with harder difficulty/ higher threat, & you'll dance forever only if you enable "Fatal Dance", & it also stops by itself when incapped or charger/ smoker is approaching (read the mechanisms above). If you don't enable it, the dance will stop by itself in 13 seconds after the boomer is killed. This boomer is still beatable with certain tricks, like, one of them by sacrificing one survivor by killing with melee & the rest will defend until he stops dancing, or just keep shoving & make some distance. Compared to Shadow Boomer & Majin Boomer, this is still not that scary.
