BLOPS17: Emergent (Zombie Wave Survival)

BLOPS17: Emergent is a complete gamemode built into an original map layout, inspired by the mechanics of a classic zombies series. This map includes a point-based economy system, infinite zombie wave mechanics, window barricade mechanics, unlockable map regions and unlockable weapons.

After this map's initial release the following elements were also added:

• (Update 1) Power Switch
  
• (Update 2) Randomized Weapon Upgrade Station
  
• (Update 3) Five Different Powerups
  
• (Update 4) Randomized Utility Item Machines
  
• (Update 5) A Perk Machine
  
• (Updates 1-5) Full Map Detail Rework

• Zombie Pathfinding Lag | NPCs take a long time to calculate paths through maps in HL:A. The code responsible for directing zombie movement is constantly being adjusted to minimize pathfinding frequency and framerate lag.
  
• Zombie Pathfinding Errors | As a consequence of the Update 4 pathfinding code, zombies sometimes take extremely inefficient routes to the player.
  
• Zombie Corpse Bug | Occasionally NPCs leave a small physics hitbox above them when they die in HL:A. This map already has code that manually removes these glitched hitboxes, however there are specific circumstances that allow them to exist for a short time.
  
• Ammo Refill Money Vacuum | Ammo refill wall-buys don't check the player's existing ammo count before taking money.
  
• Powerup Prop Lighting Bug | Powerup props aren't lit properly when there are multiple on-screen. This is due to an engine limitation and cannot be fixed at this time.

This map was not designed with the game save feature in mind. Loaded game saves may break this map. This map should also be played on Normal difficulty.

Thrown bottles can be used to kill zombies. This was added as a way for players to bounce back from a zero-ammo scenario.

All assets used in this addon were either obtained directly from Half-Life: Alyx or purpose-built. No open-source or reused assets have been included in this workshop submission.
