Hi Zak,
Actually, I did come up with something, using your example, to do something a
little more in line with zombie B movies.
The units that die don't immediatly turn into zombies. Instead, they become
infected corpses first.
Then a round later, they become zombies, actually, I have the humans become
angry zombies and the dogs changed into zombie dogs.
I also changed around the file names of the players units. This is so that the
names will follow the transformation, so you have the distinct pleasure of
killing former friends and loved ones...ain't that nice of me? lol.
I also experimented with random for everything, and I am not sure I am happy
with it right now, so I would love input from anyone and everyone about that.
It does make the game a little more random. My first fight with the new random
stuff made it a little bit difficult to kill off those first wave in front of
the main characters, and zombie dogs really step it up a notch, cause they
break that mvoement barrier where you can time and place your units
accordingly.
Anyway, I updated the zombie map and it should be ready to download soon.
You will notice a map called zombie storm and zombie house.
Zombie house has all the old unit names, where the zombie storm has the unit
types, with the names added so that the names will follow the transformation
process. I really like how that works, and once again, Craig really made the
map shine with his scripts, and I really appreciate your help Zak! I had no
idea this could be done, and you really made the whole thing so much better.

I'm not sure why but it doesn't seem to work on a unit with
after_death. I'm guessing its because the unit is destroyed so it has
nothing to transform or something. That would have been ideal, since
you could then make it so that for example dogs become dog zombies or
different kinds of people change into different types of zombies.
Craig, would it be possible to make something like this work?
