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 collaborated with The Trollers and Sirr0m multiple times on scripts such as Ignition
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.
