Title: [DONE] More options for spawning zombies, units and items
Post by: Meridian on April 29, 2023, 03:58:14 pm

Here's a summary of various features added in OXCE v7.9
I will put it here on one place instead of spreading it across multiple older posts.

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"

Spawning units is available for a longer time now too in OXCE.
Using `spawnUnit` and `spawnUnitFaction`.

In OXCE v7.9, a new attribute `spawnUnitChance` was added to control spawn chance.
If not defined, `specialChance` is used as fall-back.

Spawning items is new in OXCE v7.9.

Attributes: `spawnItem` and `spawnItemChance`.
If not defined, `specialChance` is used as fall-back.
