T.A.H.I.T.I. (WIP) Need Help

[jakendrick3]

So, let me start off by saying, I'm a semi-capable modder. I've got the XML system down, I know how it interacts with the DLLs and I have a basic understanding of how to mod with the DLLs.

I've been trying to make a mod that lets you bring back colonists from the dead. I'll work on balance/lore/integration later but for now I just want to get the functionality down. And the first thing on the to-do list is figuring out how to preform an operation on the dead. I know I could do it other ways, but a extended crafting table isn't what I want. I want to revive my precious colonists inside a fully decked procedure room with a qualified doctor operating. So again, no extended crafting table fixes. I need to preform an operation on a dead body, and I have pretty much no idea where to start. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

What you need is a map component in dll, that would save colonists stats ,looks and other stuff, lets say once a day.
Next thing is a grave like building/bed that will show body graphic or even body itself and also preserve it.
And the last thing you  need to to make custom jobs to operate.

You don't exactly need to save the colonists stats, as the pawn object of the colonist is still inside the corpse. So you can access it directly if you have the corpse. But that's about all of my knowledge as I didn't delve into necromancy yet

Maybe I am not on spot at all, but isn't there a zombie apocalypse mod, that might be of interest?

I just have to butt in and say...

"It's a magical place."

Haplos right corpses have an internal pawn that holds all the info you would need. Youd just have to create a new pawn copy the data over and spawn it. Theres more to it than that but thats the general gist.
