I have found that over a medium/large distance, zombies will not detect you. Seeing as they also dont follow waypoints, what would I have to edit/add to make a small hoard walk out a forest and go to a base(where the player will be), and could you send screenshots/detail how, as im a lua newb :3

open the script in note pad, find the line that say 600, and change it to 3000. Save the script assign it to the AI, save and reload the level.

I tried that all the way up to 6000, and still they dont respond. I've even removed all the terrain obsticles and the like, so they have a clear view of me.

once you have changed the script then in the properties panel of the AI, change the View range to 3000 or more, and the view angle to 120, then try again.

If they are further then 3000 units away from you, they will be inactive.
But within that they should notice you and come at you. If all else fails and you need a few further away, set the always active field to yes. Dont get carried away with this or you will bug the engine down.

find this section in the script:

+ Code Snippet

if PlayerDist < 600 and g_Entity[e]['plrvisible']==1 then
  RotateToPlayer(e)
  if PlayerDist < 80 and g_Entity[e]['plrvisible']==1 then
   if ai_soldier_state[e]~="attack" then
    SetAnimationSpeed(e,1.75)
    if GetAnimationFrame(e)<attackstart[e] or GetAnimationFrame(e)>attackend[e] then
     AIEntityStop(EntObjNo)
	 ai_soldier_state[e] = "attack"
     CharacterControlLimbo(e)
     randomattack=math.random(1,3)
     if randomattack==1 then 
      attackstart[e]=2561
      attackend[e]=2600
      damageframestart[e]=2580
      damageframeend[e]=2595
     end

Change it to this:

+ Code Snippet

if PlayerDist < 6000 and g_Entity[e]['plrvisible']==1 then
  RotateToPlayer(e)
  if PlayerDist < 80 and g_Entity[e]['plrvisible']==1 then
   if ai_soldier_state[e]~="attack" then
    SetAnimationSpeed(e,1.75)
    if GetAnimationFrame(e)<attackstart[e] or GetAnimationFrame(e)>attackend[e] then
     AIEntityStop(EntObjNo)
	 ai_soldier_state[e] = "attack"
     CharacterControlLimbo(e)
     randomattack=math.random(1,3)
     if randomattack==1 then 
      attackstart[e]=2561
      attackend[e]=2600
      damageframestart[e]=2580
      damageframeend[e]=2595
     end
