ZombieModel

Model implementation for the standard melee Zombie. It dynamically manages the visual representation of zombies across different colors and tiers.

ZombieModel

Extends CharacterModel.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
healthBar	HealthBar	The health bar attachment, initialized with a dark red/orange color.
base	SpriteEntity	The base sprite of the zombie, determined by its tier and color.
weapon	SpriteEntity	The weapon sprite currently wielded by the zombie.

Methods

constructor()

function constructor(): void

Initializes the model. Creates the healthBar with the specific color { r: 184, g: 70, b: 20 }, sets its position and scales it to 0.6. Adds the health bar at layer 0.

update()

function update(dt: number, user: any): void

Updates the model every frame. If the base sprite is not yet initialized, it calls updateModel to construct the zombie visually. Afterwards, it calls super.update(dt, user) to handle general character animations (like damage tinting).

updateModel()

function updateModel(tick: ENTITY_DATA, networkEntity: NetworkEntity): void

Constructs the zombie's visual components based on tick.model.

• Parses the model string (e.g., ZombieGreenTier1, ZombieRedTier5) to extract the color (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, Orange) and the tier.
• Initializes the base and weapon sprites corresponding to the parsed color and tier.
• Assigns the weaponUpdateFunc based on the tier:
  • Tier 1: updatePunchingWeapon()
  • Tiers 2-3: updateSwingingWeapon(300, 100)
  • Tiers 4-6: updateSwingingWeapon(400, 90)
  • Tiers 7+: updateSwingingWeapon(500, 80)
• Adds the weapon at layer 1 and the base at layer 2.
