zSpeed

zomboid_zSpeed.lua — Zombie module

What it does

Sets the walk type (movement animation and speed) of all zombies within a given radius of the player. Only the pre-validated walk type strings are accepted; any other value silently aborts. Useful for dramatically changing how a horde moves mid-game.

Trigger type
