An idea for Zombie Spawning

[m.w. vindicator 880]

This is a brilliant idea. :beans:

I would like to see the Zeds go dormant. Maybe the occasional wanderer that got a little restless. If all the zeds were dormant, sneaking would be too easy.

In urban environments I would like to see the Zeds finding cover in buildings. Perhaps they would lie down on the walls. O really sneaky ones could rest under tables and cars.

I imagine opening a door and practically tripping on a Zed catching some Zzz's :lol:

Searching in a bedroom, corpse on the bed, long dead, look under the bed, corpse begins to move :o

Searching for beans in the pantry-OH GOD AMBUSH ZOMBIE FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-

Like the idea, but maybe the Zeds go dormant in a ragdoll position than curled up. Could also place ragdoll dead map objects, which would make it harder to spot the real Zeds from the dead objects.

Cleaned up and updated for all ye bros :) Again I've been treating this whole thing as an exercise to help me work on the visual communication of the idea. Beans going out as thanks to everyone for being cool dudes.

I like the ideas of dormant coming in ragdolled and from beneath beds but I figure I'd keep the presentation of the idea simple as. Other personal projects beckon. Very cool though :)

What happens to the Zombies that have awaken from the dormant state, do they have animations where they go back into the fetal position when you leave the area? Or are they permanently awake and moving around.

I imagine they would despawn as they normally do. No reason to animate them going back into dormancy if there's no one to see it right? ;) Narratively they would go back into dormancy or wander off parts unknown etc.
