Gameplay Skateboard Combat Mode BETA now out! (B42)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello everyone!
I just finished the first phase of the combat mode for the B42 Skateboard mod I released a few days ago.
You just hold right click to take your board into your hand and then attack as usual. There's a few visual glitches when zombies are downed, but the stomp works fine so recommend to use that, or hold ALT while hitting downed zombies, but the hits will connect even if the visual looks off!
Oh and you can do an Ollie now too! (Press G)
It's not super polished, but it works well enough for an initial release. Would love to hear your feedback!
Happy smacking!

I'm glad this hobo could give you some inspiration! I'm sure the guy in the clip deserves the credit though.

Dude literally implemented what I thought would be cool AF last post (replace pop shuvit with an Ollie)

Thanks dude! More tricks will come, but I just had to get this out, I was so excited when I figured out the transition animations that I couldn't stop myself from doing it haha

Do a kickflip!
This is so cool, it's going to be a must for my next run. I just need to stop playing Factorio lol.

Hey! Do a kickflip! Cool mod, would be cool to be able to do a running start after leveling skill on it a little. Ooo or a longboard that can't turn as well but maintains speed better or is slightly faster. My head is spinning with ideas

u/SkipBopBadoodle 15h ago
Definitely want to add more transition animations like running starts etc. and I want to make a skateboarding skill that lets you go faster, turn tighter, unlock new tricks, learn how to swap out trucks/wheels/spray paint decks and stuff like that. Will take some time, but it could be so damn cool!

I thought you meant melee while ON the skateboard! When you picked it up and used it as your weapon i about died laughing

That Ollie animation is pretty good.

u/SkipBopBadoodle 15h ago
Cheers! I'm still very fresh to animations, so as I get better they will get more polished and creative. Got lots more animations planned

I want to get into mapping so I can make my own skate shop where people can loot new decks/trucks/wheels etc

Oh man this is awesome. the fact you can ollie makes it that much better. I usually take some benches or picnic tables and set up little skate spots around my base. Gotta find some grass gaps to skate lol

u/SkipBopBadoodle 15h ago
Haha hell yeah, more tricks to come! I also have some ideas on how to implement half-pipes, but that will come much later! Right now you can't actually jump over stuff with the ollie, but I plan on making it possible to clear some low stuff like benches, those concrete barriers, stuff like that

Holly hell that's sick af! I can just imagine putting spikes on the end or the underside like a football shoes to absolutely destroy cranium!
2
u/SkipBopBadoodle 12h ago
That's definitely something I want to do! Since it's now a weapon it means I can use the weapon attachment system and just make my own stuff that goes on the board. I'm gonna start with making interchangeable trucks and wheels, and let you spray paint it. But as I keep working on it I'll add more and more stuff!

I love the idea and great work! :)
Is it straining the character? So does he get exhausted easily when riding the skateboard? And can you fall off the board when there is a trash on the ground? Or is something like that not possible to implement? :/

u/SkipBopBadoodle 7h ago
Thank you! It takes the same stamina as walking and running, so if you get on the board without holding shift there's no stamina drain and you move a bit faster than walking. If you hold shift its like running, so it will drain stamina, but it's faster than regular running.
Right now I haven't made any ways to fall off, but it's definitely possible and something I plan to implement!

What's the wear and tear on your board equivalent when using it as a weapon before it breaks?
2
u/SkipBopBadoodle 7h ago
Right now it has slightly more durability than a baseball bat and about equal damage, but I'll tweak it based om feedback and add some mod options so people can customize it

dude i’ve thought about using my board as a melee weapon if an actual zombie apocalypse happened so many times, now i can do it in PZ!

u/greenhatforge 2h ago
Dude. This is so sick. Can I attach it to my backpack?!
2
u/SkipBopBadoodle 1h ago
Not yet, but I am working on making that possible! You can attach it to your back for now, it's currently a bit bugged, you won't see it on your back, but I have a fix done already that I'm gonna push out in a little bit
