Add a method to zombie class to give them the capability (behaviour) of being stunned. An int field will be needed to time the effect. It would look like this:

public int stunTimer = 0;

public void act()
{
    if (stunTimer > 0 && --stunTimer > 0) return;
    // current code in act method here
}

As player picks up coin, do the following:

for (Object obj : getWorld().getObjects(Zombie.class))
{
    ((Zombie)obj).stunTimer = 300; // 5-seconds of stun time (approx. 60 acts per second)
}

Please note that any zombies added to the world during stun session will not be stunned.

THANKS but what do you mean that the zombies will not be stunned during the session?

Only zombies currently in the world when the coin is picked up will be stunned. While zombies are stunned, if a new zombie is added to the world, it will not be.

oh I understand and excuse me again but I'm new to programming and the code you sent me is placed in the obj class?

No. First part in class of zombie and second part in class of character that picks up coin. "obj" is just a dummy variable name to hold a zombie object.
