To make the map work as a real zombie apocalypse:
With the atmosphere set, Alex realized a gameplay problem. Los Santos is an open city. In a zombie apocalypse, players need to feel trapped. fivem zombie apocalypse map work
"The freeway is too open," Alex said. "Players will just drive in circles." To make the map work as a real zombie apocalypse:
He began the grueling work of map culling. Using a combination of collision files and prop placement, he blocked off the major highways. He created "kill zones" or radiation zones at the edges of the map to turn players back. With the atmosphere set, Alex realized a gameplay problem
This led to the most critical technical challenge: Collision. Alex placed a pile of debris to block an alleyway. It looked perfect—a mess of furniture and wrecked cars. But when a player on a motorcycle drove through it at full speed, they phased right through the pile. The visual object was there, but the "hitbox" (collision) wasn't.
Lesson Learned: In FiveM development, objects need to have collision data loaded on the client side. If the server spawns an object without the correct flag, it becomes a "ghost." Alex had to go back and replace decorative props with solid, collision-enabled objects, or script invisible walls to ensure players couldn't cheat the geography.
Use CreatePed() with zombie models (a_f_m_beach_01 altered, or custom peds).
