Zombies

>Health<

Formula Type [Quadratic|Logistic|Logarithmic]

Formula type used to determine the health of zombies per wave. Quadratic goes up slowly at first, than speeds up. Logarithmic starts up quickly, than slows down. Logistic starts off quadratic, than turns into a kind of a logarithmic, slowing down at the limit.

Limit (Only applicaple for Logistic Forumula)

If using a logistic formula, this is the amount where the health of zombies will begin to stop at.

Coefficients

A list of coefficients used in the formula. There are 3. The first one defines how fast the formula moves. The second one increases the health at a constant rate by multiplying it by the wave number. So, if it were wave 4, and the number you put down was 1, than this coefficient would increase the health of zombies by 4. The third coefficient is the health of zombies on wave 1.

>Quantity<

Formula Type [Quadratic|Logistic|Logarithmic]

Same definition as above, only used to define quantity of zombies per wave.

Limit (Only applicaple for Logistic Forumula)
