Is there a way you could make a bite or breath attack, or even a vampire bite turn someone into a vampire or undead under your control?

[Stirk]

I don't think I know any way of making it "Under your control", though it is possible to have a bite that turns whatever it hits into an undead creature.

Code: [Select]

[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:Vamp Bite]
               [SYN_INJECTED]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:1:END:Whatever you want if you want an end]
                [CE:CREATURE:UNDEAD_WHATEVERTHEUNDEADS NAME IS:IT"SCAST]
Just inserting in your things for each of the things and adding that to the bite attack will make the bite transform what is bitten into an undead. For a breath attack, you could do:

Code: [Select]

[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:Vamp Breath]
               [SYN_INHALED]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:1:END:Whatever you want if you want an end]
                [CE:CREATURE:UNDEAD_WHATEVERTHEUNDEADS NAME IS:IT"SCAST]
But that won't turn them on your side, and I don't know if it is possible to get them on your side with a syndrome. It might make them peaceful if your character is already undead, though.

hm...just have it cause instant death to living things, and zombify corpses

Yeah, that code WOULD work if undead had UNDEAD_WHATEVER names. As it is, they don't. Which is unfortunate, because it makes coding some stuff involving the undead needlessly complicated. And there's no way to instakill beings with a syndromed breath, AFAIK.

I could make a syndrome that uses the same effects as the animate dead ability, but being a syndrome and not an interaction, I wouldn't be able to include certain things I'd like to use.
