Code Snippet

Plaintext

add_zombie_powerup( "carpenter",  	"zombie_carpenter",	&"ZOMBIE_POWERUP_MAX_AMMO");

and add this under it

Code Snippet

Plaintext

add_zombie_powerup( "gtlad",  	"static_berlin_bread_loaf",	"gtlad");

next find this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

powerup_grab()

and replace that whole function with this one

Code Snippet

Plaintext

powerup_grab()
{
	self endon ("powerup_timedout");
	self endon ("powerup_grabbed");

	while (isdefined(self))
	{
		players = get_players();

			{
				playfx (level._effect["powerup_grabbed"], self.origin);
				playfx (level._effect["powerup_grabbed_wave"], self.origin);	

				if( IsDefined( level.zombie_powerup_grab_func ) )

					}
				}

				wait( 0.1 );

				playsoundatposition("powerup_grabbed", self.origin);
				self stoploopsound();

				self delete();
				self notify ("powerup_grabbed");
			}
		}
		wait 0.1;
	}	
}

next find this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

nuke_flash()
{
	players = getplayers();	
	for(i=0; i<players.size; i ++)
	{
		players[i] play_sound_2d("nuke_flash");
	}
	level thread devil_dialog_delay();
 
 
	fadetowhite = newhudelem();

	fadetowhite.x = 0; 
	fadetowhite.y = 0; 
	fadetowhite.alpha = 0; 

	fadetowhite.horzAlign = "fullscreen"; 
	fadetowhite.vertAlign = "fullscreen"; 
	fadetowhite.foreground = true; 
	fadetowhite SetShader( "white", 640, 480 ); 

	// Fade into white
	fadetowhite FadeOverTime( 0.2 ); 
	fadetowhite.alpha = 0.8; 

	wait 0.5;
	fadetowhite FadeOverTime( 1.0 ); 
	fadetowhite.alpha = 0; 

	wait 1.1;
	fadetowhite destroy();
}

and put this under it (this will give whoever picks up the powerup perks when power is turned on)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

gtlad_powerup( drop_item )
{
    PlayFx( drop_item.fx, drop_item.origin );
	players = getplayers();
	for ( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
		flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
 
		players[i] maps\_zombiemode_perks::thegtlad();
 
	}
}

NOTE: if you want to recieve perks before the power is on then use this one instead

Code Snippet

Plaintext

gtlad_powerup( drop_item )
{
    PlayFx( drop_item.fx, drop_item.origin );
	players = getplayers();
	for ( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
 
		players[i] maps\_zombiemode_perks::thegtlad();
 
	}
}

go to raw/maps mapname.gsc find this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.DLC3.powerUps =  maps\dlc3_code::include_powerups;

and put this under it

Code Snippet

Plaintext

include_powerup( "gtlad" );

so it looks like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.DLC3.powerUps =  maps\dlc3_code::include_powerups;
	include_powerup( "gtlad" );

go to root/zone source mapname.csv and add this at the bottom

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Fully compile map and make sure you select the following in mod builders
