Hey Guys,



Saw numerous requests on zombie counters in BO3 already and a friend of mine wanted to see something a bit more spectacular although with no access to the majority of assets yet in mod tools to do something special with this, For now, I've made it as stylish as possible.



So, In remembering the good ol' days it's time to refer to the mapname gsc (Bring back memories?)

Black Ops 3 Directory -> Usermaps -> zm_yourmapname -> scripts -> zm -> zm_yourmapname.gsc (not .csc)



Within the - main() - function add in;

_INIT_ZCOUNTER();





After inserting that in, Go to the end of the script and paste in the entire following;





function _INIT_ZCOUNTER()
{
	ZombieCounterHuds = [];
	ZombieCounterHuds["LastZombieText"] 	= "Zombie Left";
	ZombieCounterHuds["ZombieText"]			= "Zombie's Left";
	ZombieCounterHuds["LastDogText"]		= "Dog Left";
	ZombieCounterHuds["DogText"]			= "Dog's Left";
	ZombieCounterHuds["DefaultColor"]		= (1,1,1);
	ZombieCounterHuds["HighlightColor"]		= (1, 0.55, 0);
	ZombieCounterHuds["FontScale"]			= 1.5;
	ZombieCounterHuds["DisplayType"]		= 0; // 0 = Shows Total Zombies and Counts down, 1 = Shows Currently spawned zombie count

	ZombieCounterHuds["counter"] = createNewHudElement("left", "top", 2, 10, 1, 1.5);
	ZombieCounterHuds["text"] = createNewHudElement("left", "top", 2, 10, 1, 1.5);

	ZombieCounterHuds["counter"] hudRGBA(ZombieCounterHuds["DefaultColor"], 0);
	ZombieCounterHuds["text"] hudRGBA(ZombieCounterHuds["DefaultColor"], 0);

	level thread _THINK_ZCOUNTER(ZombieCounterHuds);
}

function _THINK_ZCOUNTER(hudArray)
{
	level endon("end_game");
	for(;;)
	{
		level waittill("start_of_round");
		level _ROUND_COUNTER(hudArray);
		hudArray["counter"] SetValue(0);
		hudArray["text"] thread hudMoveTo((2, 10, 0), 4);
		
		hudArray["counter"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 0, 1);
		hudArray["text"] SetText("End of round"); hudArray["text"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 0, 3);
	}
}

function _ROUND_COUNTER(hudArray)
{
	level endon("end_of_round");
	lastCount = 0;
	numberToString = "";

	hudArray["counter"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 1.0, 1);
	hudArray["text"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 1.0, 1);
	hudArray["text"] SetText(hudArray["ZombieText"]);
	if(level flag::get("dog_round"))
		hudArray["text"] SetText(hudArray["DogText"]);

	for(;;)
	{
		zm_count = (zombie_utility::get_current_zombie_count() + level.zombie_total);
		if(hudArray["DisplayType"] == 1) zm_count = zombie_utility::get_current_zombie_count();
		if(zm_count == 0) {wait(1); continue;}
		hudArray["counter"] SetValue(zm_count);
		if(lastCount != zm_count)
		{
			lastCount = zm_count;
			numberToString = "" + zm_count;
			hudArray["text"] thread hudMoveTo((10 + (4 * numberToString.Size), 10, 0), 4);
			if(zm_count == 1 && !level flag::get("dog_round")) hudArray["text"] SetText(hudArray["LastZombieText"]);
			else if(zm_count == 1 && level flag::get("dog_round")) hudArray["text"] SetText(hudArray["LastDogText"]);

			hudArray["counter"].color = hudArray["HighlightColor"]; hudArray["counter"].fontscale = (hudArray["FontScale"] + 0.5);
			hudArray["text"].color = hudArray["HighlightColor"]; hudArray["text"].fontscale = (hudArray["FontScale"] + 0.5);
			hudArray["counter"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 1, 0.5); hudArray["counter"] thread hudFontScale(hudArray["FontScale"], 0.5);
			hudArray["text"] thread hudRGBA(hudArray["DefaultColor"], 1, 0.5); hudArray["text"] thread hudFontScale(hudArray["FontScale"], 0.5);
		}
		wait(0.1);
	}
}

function createNewHudElement(xAlign, yAlign, posX, posY, foreground, fontScale)
{
	hud = newHudElem();
	hud.horzAlign = xAlign; hud.alignX = xAlign;
	hud.vertAlign = yAlign; hug.alignY = yAlign;
	hud.x = posX; hud.y = posY;
	hud.foreground = foreground;
	hud.fontscale = fontScale;
	return hud;
}

function hudRGBA(newColor, newAlpha, fadeTime)
{
	if(isDefined(fadeTime))
		self FadeOverTime(fadeTime);

	self.color = newColor;
	self.alpha = newAlpha;
}

function hudFontScale(newScale, fadeTime)
{
	if(isDefined(fadeTime))
		self ChangeFontScaleOverTime(fadeTime);

	self.fontscale = newScale;
}

function hudMoveTo(posVector, fadeTime) // Just because MoveOverTime doesn't always work as wanted
{
	initTime = GetTime();
	hudX = self.x;
	hudY = self.y;
	hudVector = (hudX, hudY, 0);
	while(hudVector != posVector)
	{
		time = GetTime();
		hudVector = VectorLerp(hudVector, posVector, (time - initTime) / (fadeTime * 1000));
		self.x = hudVector[0];
		self.y = hudVector[1];
		wait(0.0001);
	}
}





You can configure the HUD within the _INIT_ZCOUNTER() function where you can change texts, colour's, font scale and Display type.

Display type is either showing the total zombies in that round, or the currently spawned zombie count.



Any way, Hope this is useful to many.



Thanks,

DuaLVII
