Modding zombie to autoexplode when near player

[Robeloto]

Is there anyone that has made this or know how to do this? Is it even possible? ^^

Explode based only on distance from player? Not sure, player would need an AOE buff of the desired range that passes a buff to the incoming entity and that new buff sets off the cop exploding routine by damaging him over time.

Not sure how but It can be done. Mod "True Survival" has many modded zombies, one of which does this.

I see. How would you add a buff to the incoming entity? I know how to send buffs from the entity, but not sure how to send a buff from the player to the entity.

Look at the ring of fire buff. I think that might be a place to start.

I’d start by looking at the puking police zombie and see how it explodes in the xml file.

I love your work, I want to do it too.

the buff is not a bad idea but you must exclude the zombies otherwise they will explode.

The best is to create an <item name = "meleeHand"> for your zombie which can cause an explosion and kill the player.

 

Personally I seek to obtain this result
