I've been doing some testing with the zombie entity and discovered some interesting things. One, filters (like team and weapon slot) can be applied to them in hammer with 'damagefilter' key manually. Two, they have a tendency to damage each other in groups (This can be prevented with a filter_multi that has red and blue team filters on it and is set to 'OR'). Three, they will not attack players in nav areas connected to re-spawn rooms though they may walk though said nav areas to get to players outside of those navs. Four, their skin number cannot be changed. Even if you use commands or map editing the zombie will change it's skin back to 'blue zombie' each time. Five, the reason they have missing bits when killed is because those bits are the sub models used for voodoo souls and the sub models are killed when the zombie ragdolls. That's all I got for now. Hope Valve will fix them for next Halloween.--[[User:Mzullos5|Mzullos5]] 13:26, 17 April 2013 (PDT)

Merge

This information might be better suited to the Bots page under a "Zombies" sub-section. If the entity isn't even used in the Halloween MvM mission (other areas of the Wiki state they are robot reskins), then it might not be worth documenting here at all, in which case it would be a topic suited for the VDC. i-ghost 11:04, 30 December 2012 (PST)

You are wrong, these are not reskinned bots. They have their own classname and do not behave in the same way. These zombies do not make noises, they dont use the virtual keyboard and mousepad, they know where players are at all times and they fall dead if they get stuck.

Entity Testing

I've been doing some testing with the zombie entity and discovered some interesting things. One, filters (like team and weapon slot) can be applied to them in hammer with 'damagefilter' key manually. Two, they have a tendency to damage each other in groups (This can be prevented with a filter_multi that has red and blue team filters on it and is set to 'OR'). Three, they will not attack players in nav areas connected to re-spawn rooms though they may walk though said nav areas to get to players outside of those navs. Four, their skin number cannot be changed. Even if you use commands or map editing the zombie will change it's skin back to 'blue zombie' each time. Five, the reason they have missing bits when killed is because those bits are the sub models used for voodoo souls and the sub models are killed when the zombie ragdolls. That's all I got for now. Hope Valve will fix them for next Halloween.--Mzullos5 13:26, 17 April 2013 (PDT)
