well i hate errors and im surprised as to how so many people dont do "if nil" or anything so it doesnt spam errors. It's annoying and majority of mods are like that. but I'll let you know if it's better! I use perfopus or whatever the name is.. I think Zippy made it, it's really useful

Alright, I pushed a small update that should hopefully improve the performance a bit

Yeah I'll admit optimization wasn't my first concern when making this, it was more of a proof-of-concept than anything else, but I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.

the addon is laggy when no vehicles are around, I think its because it checks too frequently for cars since its script time is kinda high at 26ms

lets just pretend he got carsick from the car and had to jump off and died

thank you

There's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid. It's baked in to the sequence.

it dies after 3 seconds after jumping onto the car

Yeah, I hope that too. It would be awesome if it would be like in that flash game road of the dead where if you're not fast enough, a zombie will cling to your hood. Would go amazing with seat weaponizer addons. Someone should definitely try to make an advanced version of this type of addon that would have support for any vehicle and any enemy. Like imagine a combine shotgunner getting on the hood of your jeep on the coast levels of half life 2, would make you feel a lot less safe in the car.

Yeah, this unfortunately isn't the most optimized or well coded addon, it was honestly meant as more of a proof-of-concept than anything, the only reason I released it was to bring attention to the fact that this functionality exists now and the hopefully inspire someone with more time/energy to make a more comprehensive version.

2 issues, fast zombies now cause a lot of lag, and the fast zombies are immortal when on the hood and after getting off if you get out of the car. But it may be my other addons, this only started happening after installing this addon.

there are four sets of mounting animations for the fast zombie, for directions that the fast zombie happens to leap at your car from
Maksman 30 Mar @ 2:46pm 
got to love timelocked events, fast zombie must always die
InvalidVertex  [author] 30 Mar @ 2:26pm 
I had figured as much.
As nice as having an animation to prevent it from looking so janky would be, that's unfortunately way outside of my skill set.

the zombie dies because it assumes alyx is in the car, and alyx plays a animation kicking it when it does happen in HL2

the solution would be to make a animation of the player punching it or something
Maksman 28 Mar @ 6:00pm 
this sounding pretty awesome.
Nova 28 Mar @ 3:13pm 
could you make them use their actual mounting animations, theirs four of them
InvalidVertex  [author] 28 Mar @ 3:05pm 
Yeah, it only works with the default fast zombies, and them dying after finishing the animation seems to be baked into it. I wasn't able to figure out how to prevent it.
Nova 28 Mar @ 2:59pm 
it only seems to be for vanilla zombies
Nova 28 Mar @ 2:58pm 
are the fast zombies supposed to die after finishing their animation when jumping onto the car?
