So far here's what I have:

Reliable pathfinding - if a zombie can't directly reach you, they will either jump or circumvent the obstacle by navigating around it. nothing too special

Zombie building using presets - when a zombie spawns, they will spawn as either a normal zombie, a fast zombie, or a heavy zombie. Their limbs are randomly assigned to them from a pre-built list as well meaning that it's unlikely that two heavy zombies will look the exact same.

Custom animations - pretty self explanatory, zombies use custom built animations based on their preset type. Normal zombies will use a shuffling animation, fast zombies will####e##########ing their arms at you, and slow zombies will slowly trudge along after you. attack animations are universal though.

You can see what I have so far here:

any recommendations or suggestions would be super duper. also, make sure you're using Right Mouse Button to aim before shooting.

the end goal is making one zombie that i can copy and paste a dozen times to get a bunch of different, unique zombies without destroying the server with script overload

Pretty nice, but zombies are a bit slow, especially the fast zombie.

"How are you even top poster"

it's an old feature that got forgotten a long ago and it's now completely broken, all users who had it in like 2006/2010 still have it but it isn't obtainable anymore


also @OP

I joined your game but I can't move my camera so can't see anything

yeah i found that's just an issue with me not accounting for the player actually loading into the game

a quick reset or rejoin will fix it

yeah that's a design choice

those zombies are either going to be part of a resident evil game where the player has to stop and shoot (as already implemented in the place)

or a top down game where the player will face many at once

I wouldn't use path-finding for zombies since it's extremely laggy and inefficient unless you control all the zombies with one script
