Racial ability with different states/modes

Porkrind · November 21st, 2013, 06:05 AM

I'm trying to model a Left 4 Dead zombie I found over on Fear the Boot's forums.

The zombies have 3 states: inactive, active, and enraged. These affect their pace and run die.

I'd like to try to build this as a racial ability with 3 modes. When set to inactive, the creature's pace would be 1. When active, it would change to 6. When enraged, it would increase to 8 and their Run die would increase.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this, if its even possible?

I would set it up as 3 racial abilities in the editor and give them to your zombie. When you make the racial abilities in the editor make sure you check the "Activated by user box - in that way you will be able to turn them on and off in the "In-Play" tab. I believe it's very doable.

You could use the Faction/Group system for this...
