[Collaboration] Zombie Fortress Versus variant

After tweaking and working a lot on ZFM+ I've come to the point where I'm happy with it's current state, but there's something my friends and some players have asked me about: becoming a zombie player when you die. I'd like to ask for help modifying the following things:

Rules

• Make all players spawn on the blue team (team 0).
• Automatically switching players to the purple team (team 1) when they die, and make them respawn always on said team.
• Making purple team players spawn at night with the rest of the zombies.
• Making purple team players spawn as a random undead class (undead classes won't be able to build anything, so it's really important making them random).

Classes

• I need to know how to make classes be able to break different kinds of blocks, climb walls and be able to fly.
• I also need to know how to make a ranged class not waste any ammo (for making goo/acid spitting classes).

And that's pretty much it. I know BunnyFection works on a similar dynamic but I don't believe I'm currently capable of re-writing rules yet, so if anyone's interested on having a look and helping here's a link to the mod as of today (for some reason I can't upload it to the forum).
(P.S.: There's a lot of reworked stuff from other mods here so don't be surprised if things are similar).

They should wait until next night, just like players wait until next day now.

Something I'm not so sure yet is if the human team should start with tickets (lives) and when they reach 0 they start switching to the undead team upon death (maybe tickets could be bought at a workshop, I don't know). Sounds complicated to code tho

 

lol when I came in I was expecting a giant map with two sides with tickets trying to kill each other while there were endless hordes of zombies. Guess I was wrong.

 

So, while I'm trying to understand kaizo zombiesframework, I've been testing with the default rules based on RulesCore. This is what I've come up with so far

Code:

    void onPlayerDie(CRules@ this, CPlayer@ victim, CPlayer@ player, CPlayer@ killer, u8 customData)
    {
        if (!rules.isMatchRunning()) { return; }

        if (victim !is null )
        {
            PlayerInfo@ p = getInfoFromName( victim.getUsername() );
            CBlob@ blob = victim.getBlob();
            if (p.team == 0) //there has to be a better way to check the team.
            {
                Zombify( victim ); //for some reason I can't put "ChangePlayerTeam" here or else it won't run, so I'm calling a function.
            }         
         
            else if (killer !is null && killer.getTeamNum() != victim.getTeamNum())
            {
                addKill(killer.getTeamNum());
            }
        }
    }
 
    void Zombify( CPlayer@ this)
    {
        PlayerInfo@ pInfo = getInfoFromName( this.getUsername() );
        print( ":::ZOMBIFYING: " + pInfo.username );
        ChangePlayerTeam( this, 1 );
        pInfo.blob_name = "builder"; //will be changed later to a special zombie class
    }

I figured out I'd start with something simple, just forcing dying players on the 2nd team, and I believe the "OnPlayerDie" function manages that. The problem is, it won't work and I have no idea why. Even though it compiles, players are never changed from a team to another upon death. Any clues on how to make it actually work?

EDIT: Even if I try to swap a player via console they still respawn on the blue team, so I guess the issue has to do with the rules not recognizing the 2nd team.

EDIT 2 (EDIT HARDER): So, by looking at the CTF rules I noticed that the AddPlayer function looks different than the one I have right now, which looked like this

Code:

    void AddPlayer(CPlayer@ player, u8 team = 0, string default_config = "")
    {
        CTFPlayerInfo p(player.getUsername(), 0, "builder" );
        players.push_back(p);
        ChangeTeamPlayerCount(p.team, 1);
        warn("sync");
        getRules().Sync("gold_structures",true);
    }

My guess is that the red 0 is forcing all respawning players on the blue team, so I changed it a bit

Code:

    void AddPlayer(CPlayer@ player, u8 team = 0, string default_config = "")
    {
        team = player.getTeamNum();
        CTFPlayerInfo p(player.getUsername(), team, "builder" );
        players.push_back(p);
        ChangeTeamPlayerCount(p.team, 1);
        warn("sync");
        getRules().Sync("gold_structures",true);
    }

The problem with this is, now I get an error saying "PLAYER TEAM NOT SET CORRECTLY" and I can't spawn at all. If I change the number to 1 it'll spawn me on the red team, but I can't get both teams to work at the same time.
