Doorway Pull-Ups

A no-spoiler Project Zomboid Build 42 fitness mod that lets survivors train pull-ups on open doorways.

Right-click an open doorway, choose a short set or train until tired, and the action will use endurance, grant small Strength/Fitness XP, improve a dedicated regularity value, and apply soreness based on the character's condition.

Features

• Open-doorway right-click interaction.
• Do 1 Pull-Up, Do 4 Pull-Ups, and Train Until Tired actions.
• Custom doorway pull-up animation flow.
• Endurance cost, Strength XP, Fitness XP, arm/back soreness, and bodyweight-based difficulty.
• Pull-up regularity that improves with practice and decays after time away.
• Server-friendly sandbox settings for timing, XP, endurance, soreness, regularity, bodyweight difficulty, and maximum queued reps.
• English and Simplified Chinese text for menus, sandbox settings, tooltips, and action feedback.

Compatibility

• Target game version: Project Zomboid Build 42.
• Current tested line: Build 42.18.
• Mod ID: doorway_pullups.
• Local Workshop folder: MyFirstPZMod_B42_Workshop.

This is a gameplay interaction mod. It does not change story, world lore, maps, zombie behavior, or save progression.

Install For Local Development

On Linux/Debian, link the Workshop folder into the game user directory:

./tools/link-workshop.sh b42

Expected target:

~/Zomboid/Workshop/MyFirstPZMod_B42_Workshop

Enable Doorway Pull-Ups in the game's Mods screen. Lua and animation changes usually need a save reload or game restart before they are visible.

Player Usage

1. Stand near an open door.
2. Right-click the doorway.
3. Open Doorway Pull-Ups.
4. Pick a set.

If the character is too tired, too weak for the current setup, or cannot path to the doorway, the action will not start.
