Summary	0002060: Undead aren't immune to mundane damage
Description	Undead (zombies) should not be harmed by broadhead arrows, or (arguably) the sword. But they should be damaged as normal by explosives, fire, and holy water.
Additional Information	AFAICT there's no code support for this right now. I suggest flagging damage defs as "mundane", and giving AIs a scale factor for "mundane" damage. Or, make it more general by giving damage defs a type string (like "mundane" or "fire" or "holy" or "bobsyouruncle") and then adding scale factors to AIs for arbitrary damage types.
Tags	No tags attached.

crispy 27.12.2009 04:04 reporter ~0002803	Added a new material type "undeadflesh" and set broadheads to do 0 damage to it. Forum discussion brought up the idea that swords should do some damage, and besides there's a melee bug where swords sometimes do 100% damage regardless of surface type (because the code fails to discover the appropriate surface type), so I set swords to do 10% damage. Fire arrows and holy water still work as normal.
