InfDeath is used on a Warhead to specify the animation to play when an InfantryType is killed by it.
There are two exceptions:
- If the killed InfantryType has NotHuman=yes set, it will always use DieX sub-sequences instead.
- If it has animations specified by DeathAnims, these will override all other death animations.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
#8
InfDeath 8 (Virus death) assumes the animation for it has a SpawnsParticle set and will always try to spawn a particle - you can't make it skip this part. SpawnsParticle has a volatile default value, which means forgetting to set it to a valid particle on this animation will cause an IE or erratic behaviour.
Additionally, inflicting this on a NotHuman=yes (this effect does happen even though NotHuman should prevent it) or an airborne object spawns just one particle from SpawnsParticle, as opposed to normal behaviour (which is to spawn NumParticles).
#9
InfDeath 9 (Genetic Mutator death) is hardcoded not to deal any damage to infantry that are not firmly on the ground (paratroopers), as well as not to play its animation if affecting an airborne object. In these cases, for lethal shots (which don't really happen given that damage isn't dealt, but that's how the game is coded) sub-sequence Die2 is forced instead.
All spawn-capable except #9
These animations do not remap to firing house colours, only #9 does.
- If you don't consider DeathAnims, DeathAnims will always remap to victim's house
Spawning
In Yuri's Revenge, these death animations can be made to spawn a player-owned InfantryType via the MakeInfantry logic:
- InfDeath=8, InfantryVirus, can be displayed in the unit palette if AltPalette=yes, however remappable colors will not acquire the correct player colour.
- InfDeath=9, InfantryMutate, is hardcoded to use the unit palette and will be remapped to the correct player colour.
All other InfDeath animations, besides those that are part of an infantry Sequence, can be made to spawn a neutral-owned InfantryType. These can be displayed in the unit palette if AltPalette=yes, however remappable colors will not acquire the correct player colour.
