Scripts

Scripts are code that modify the game, usually to gain an advantage over other players. Scripts are distributed on sites like Greasyfork or social media platforms like Discord.

## Short History

The first ever **public** script for Zombs.io that gained traction was made by LongNickname, back in 2018. It added many features on top of the game, many of which was a bug exploit (as of today, they are all mostly fixed). This introduced a relatively new way to play, and motivated many to make scripts for Zombs.io.

### 2019

The year 2019 was one year where scripts exploded, mostly exploit scripts. Most famous are "Infinite Tower Heal" and "Gold Generator", both of which are patched by an update later in 2020, on 16th January.

**Tower heal:** (PATCHED)
If you sent an rpc for the HealTowersSpell but with a different tier, there would be various effects:

* Tier 9: Instantly heal every tower (Arrow, Cannon, Mage, Melee, Bomb) near you with no cost and no timeout.
* Tier 1033: Makes every tower near you have negative health (the effect would be reversed if you upgraded the tower) with no cost and no timeout.
* Tier 99999: Gives you around 45 million gold with no cost and no timeout.
* Tier 999999+: Crashes the server. This disconnects everyone in the server before the server auto-restarts with a completely new layout and restarts the party id's back to 1. (more info here)

**Gold Generator** sells and rebuys Slow Traps quickly and cause it to give the player more resources than it is supposed to.

### 2020

Forward to 2020, it was a little time where scripts development slowed down, and not much was known otherwise.

### 2021

2021 is certainly when scripts reached to a point where it had to burst. Starting early April, two known "scripters" of today first appeared, those two are Eh and The Trollers.

#### ehScripts

ehScripts's first script that was used by many people was eHaCk. eHaCk was made in late 2020 and was a simple script, however it had many unique and powerful features at the time while it was still in use.

A sequel and improvement to eHaCk, called eHaxx, was developed in early to mid 2021. It was made with a player named Sirr0m, who at the time used the script to get his first score record in ZOMBS.io. eHaxx was like eHaCk but with more up-to-date features and improvements to the old eHaCk, as ehScripts had gotten better at making scripts than he was before. It found popularity through GreasyFork and other platforms.

In May 2021, another one of ehScripts's script was made public, this time with malicious intentions. Its name is "444x3", and it was spread throughout Discord and GreasyFork. 444x3 had what is called a "Token Logger," which allowed it to steal multiple discord accounts. ehScripts took responsibility and warned people to not use it. 444x3 was packed with many useful features, just like all of his previous scripts.

Around this time, ehScripts also fixed and added some features to Main Ultimate, a version of Main X made by Trollers. This version was leaked by a player named Coldness. ehScripts also modified Main X and created Main A, which was similar to Main Ultimate.

Not long after 444x3's development stopped, ehScripts started making another script, going with the name of iGniTioN. If you factor in the last two times he developed a script, this time was going to be no different. It was going to be leaked. During late August of 2021, early versions of iGniTioN were leaked by a player named KG FALLEN. Many situations like this happened till end of 2021. ehScripts's activity ceased for a short period in 2022, but he has come back to making scripts as of December 2022.

In Summer 2022, a new script similar to iGniTioN was in progress. This time, it was called Reignited. It was like iGniTioN, except it had new and improved features. It eventually became public, unlike what happened with the other scripts, it was still widely in use until the beginning of 2023.

In late April 2023, ehScripts came back to an abandoned private script project called 24k he had worked on about a year earlier. This time, however, it was going to be a public script. 24k was released in early May 2023, and it currently has a public scanner among many other useful features.

#### The Trollers

The Trollers (as he's known today) is the creator of the Troll Team. They are the ones that created the infamous multiboxing script that many frown upon.

The Trollers created "Main X" in 2020, but the script was not well known way until mid 2021. Multiple versions of it started appearing, either being fully functional or lacking its core features. Its popularity catapulted in August, with its killer features being multibox. While multibox has received many patches, Main X still remains decently useful today.

Aside from Main X, The Trollers had made many scripts that abuses a lot of bugs in Zombs.io.

## Advantages

Scripts can help improve your quality of life, to make it easier to defend enemies or just simply make Zombs.io look prettier, or bring agony among us sus. Most mods usually do all of the above.
