This code turns normal Chryssalids into "Spitters" who use a ranged attack to zombify enemy units.
Now we need some really cool Sprites ^^ *muhahahahaha*

This is not balanced whatsoever, i just wanted to show that it is indeed possible.

Cruel! 

fwiw... I made for my personal mod a muton-green armored chryssalid, spawning on the final map...Maybe I give them your weapon as well

You can add zombify property to any weapon, and specify the type of the zombie spawned. The zombie in turn (or any unit) may spawn any other unit on death (just don't forget to add fixed weapons to such an unit). Yeah. It's been possible for ages now. So what's new...?

Essentially nothing, but i wanted to try it out so.
