How should a person change into a zombie? Thread - Last of Humanity

If bitten, will a person be killed by the infection? How quickly will it kill them? If it isn't instant (1-5 minutes), it would allow the person to move on to a new action. They could start driving a car, or hide some where there are other people. or try to go to the hospital, or try to go home to their family... this is, of course, concerning NPCs and real players.

Allowing them to move to another area and then die and then turn into a zombie allows for a dynamic, instantaneous change in the environment.

Anyone have an idea about this?

Depending on where on the body the bite is, not to mention. What kind of bite it is. Also how many of them. The more you have the less likely you`ll be doing much besides being lunch, or a corpse thats walking soon. Also if its on your neck, etc etc. You get the idea.

Now if a single bite happens, you could have hours, days or just minutes. It depends on the infection, the type of infection. As well as your own ability to find anti-agents, and such. :3 Cant say you can or cannot cure it. But Its safe to say, a bullet will do the trick.

Also depending on what your wearing, and again where the bite is. NPCs or Players wont beable to detect it right away, without a search, or some such. :p Or you taking off a piece of clothing or bandage.

We already have a "After Death" system for the infected you`ll see some video over the next couple months ^_^
