Hi everyone.

I have an ambitious, conceptual question. 
I would like to scare the pants off of my friends in a multiplayer mission.

My (ideal) technical aim is to have pre-placed corpses get up, then behave as regular AI (according to the popular Zombie mods eg Ravage).

Placing bodies is easy. Animating them to get up will probably require tedious custom animations, but is not impossible. The real question is how to assign AI to them. Or perhaps place them as AI with animations disabled, and untargetable by players (so players don't get wise when they look at them up close). 

Any thoughts?
