“ Yasnar Cemetery ”: A Call of Duty Mod for the Shrine System
“ Yasnar Cemetery ” is a zombie map in Call of Duty : Black Ops III , designed specifically for my custom system : the Shrine System . In the Shrine System , the players can pray at Shrines in a level and get different Blessings from different Deities . Each Blessing is an active skill with an experience system , meaning that the more the players use their skills to kill zombies , the more powerful their skills will become .
As a scripter and level designer , I have learned several invaluable lessons from this project , including system planning , player ability scripting and code optimizing . In my opinion , CoD BO3 Mod Tools is a very beginner-friendly engine to learn with . I would recommend anyone who wants to learn Radiant to try out this engine .
This is a 16-week Directed Focus Study project , with eight weeks of system scripting and eight weeks of level building using the Call of Duty : Black Ops III Mod Tools .
