Spawning zombies is vanilla, attribute `zombieUnit`.
OXCE added the following options in the past: `zombieUnitByArmorMale`, `zombieUnitByArmorFemale`, `zombieUnitByType`.
OXCE also added a chance to spawn, using attribute `specialChance`.
However this attribute is also used for other things, so now in OXCE v7.9 it is possible to explicitly define just the chance for spawning zombies using attribute
`zombieUnitChance`.
If not defined, `specialChance` is still used as fall-back.
Also, it is now (
since OXCE v7.9 since OXCE v7.11.4) possible to define the faction of the spawned zombie using attribute
`zombieUnitFaction` (default is
hostile faction).
-1 means "
same faction as the attacker"
