Ghosts? Zombies? How might I do it?
« on: April 17, 2009, 10:37:50 pm »
So, I just had the idea after making a post in
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=34273.0

Could I make ghosts or zombies, which come out of coffins?
If zombies, then they'd need to be painless (I suppose I could gank the code from the Colossus) and they'd need to eat dwarfs (gank from elves?)

If they're ghosts, they'd need to simply frighten dwarfs and then disappear.  Not do any major damage.

Is it possible to make either of them?

Stuff spawning from coffins is, I believe impossible.

wait for the next version before thinking about undead. They are being revised.

Spawning from coffins is impossible. You could make zombies ala the zombie mod, but that's about it really.
