Early Content

This is rushed documentation, and as such focuses purely on the most basic aspects of the patient behaviour, and seeks to set out proper methods of communicating about the patients more than anything

Patient Stats

Patients may eventually have many stats tied to them, but right now each patient will have a unique name, and a personal health stat, both starting at and being capped at 20, with no current lower limit.

Patient Types

Each patient also has a type: possesed, calm, angry, scared. These limit the states that they could go into. For example: one state the patients can go into is prayer. However, the possesed type cannot go into the prayer state. Another state could be hiding, however the calm patients cannot hide.

Patient State System

For the purposes of this table being implemented, a suitable patient state system needs to be implemented. This system needs to be capable of holding any of the above states and more.
