just no.
slowing down and speeding up players like that just does not work because of the datablock system and the entire idea is unfittingly cartoonish.

Ok, forget the slowing down idea. But it would still attract zombies. And the player could eat it for health too.
Iban:
... I don't understand why you want this.
Khain:
Make a zombie that can infect players, like after he damages you, there's a chance of him being infected, but he doesn't know it and then after some time he turns in to a zombie.
Kevin:
I do like the idea of a wave mode though.
Take the # of players currently playing and mabye have the directer organize a wave based on their status?
I would very much look forward to that.
Also eagerly awaiting the Zombie example.
I vaguely understand how to get it into the system, but Ill have to spend more time to figure out some specifics before I can slap a basic Bug into Zapt.
Hopefully a new mutation system will be easy to mod. If the conversion works out itd be nice to have a Bugs only mutation in infection style.
Hope its released swiftly, and that the example Zombie AI and Survivor/Follower AI are as well.

The Mutation system changes are hard to explain.
I'm going to be stripping a lot of the minigame options out in favor of just.. gamemodes. Instead of having to flip switches X, Y, and Z to get desired effect A, just turn it to "Mutation A" and it'll do what you want.
This reduces a bit of customizable freedom in exchange for a much easier game setup.
Furthermore, when it's released, I'll show how to set up a mutation while I'm doing examples.
