Barrier Defense System Tutorial

Game Modding | Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 | Scripting

Sleepy216:

This is a tutorial on how to install my barrier defense system. I got the idea from the old ZCT mod from waw.
The trigger based activation lasts for one minute by default and the cooldown is 5 minutes.
Upon buying the trigger, all the zombies will be killed off and the barriers will be activated.

I also included a powerup if you would like to install it. The powerup lasts for 30 seconds by default and does not kill the zombies beforehand. That can easily be added if you like.
The effect used is one sided, so you will have to edit it if you need a double sided one. you could do 2 structs front to back, but I wouldn't do it.
There are 2 included fx that I "made". I'm fairly certain I used stock fx to make them, if I did not, I will quickly update the DL with the needed materials when people say it isn't working haha.

If you would like a visual tutorial:


This is literally the install instructions from the DL, so feel free to just use the .txt file included.

////////////////////////////////////

INSTALLING SCRIPTS

NOTICE:
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INSTALL THE POWERUP TO USE THE TRIGGER BARRIER SYSTEM.
I HAVE ADDED A SECOND FX IN CASE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE ORIGINAL, JUST UNCOMMENT THE FX IN THE ZONE FILE AND OPEN BG.GSC.
THERE WILL BE A COMMENTED OUT LINE THAT TELLS YOU WHAT TO CHANGE NEAR THE TOP OF THE GSC.

ADD THE LINE:
