Smarkie 9 Posted November 8, 2012 How about you make it that you need an empty whiskey bottle and bandage and gas from a jerry can or from a fuel dump to make a Molotov cocktail? that would be awesome. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmycricket93 5 Posted November 9, 2012 i think its already implemented into the standalone. Dont quote me on it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aksuduud 64 Posted November 9, 2012 And what would you do with it? It has poor explosive radius as it doesnt really explode, and theres not enough vehicles around for you to ambush and burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewYawk 23 Posted November 15, 2012 Molotov coctails are great for a number of things if the game were fully realistic and destructable. First off, decomposing bodies give off a number of flammable gasses (methane and hydrogen sulphide) which would make them go up real nice. A molotov coctail is much easier to come by than a grenade which also makes it a great tactical weapon. Somebody held up in a house, tree stand, behind a rock, etc would not be able to dig in so readily if a molotov was available.I also think molotovs would be great for destroying vehicles (mostly the tires if ignited, or a massive fire if it entered through the glass), destroying tents and even buildings. A few molotovs into a barracks and goodbye.This goes along with my theory that certain servers should have finite buildings and items. All the barracks destroyed on a server? Much fewer people with high powered guns running around in the end of the world 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sutinen 635 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I also have an idea on how to implement it: There would be full bottles of whiskey found (in addition to the empty ones), then just some random rag from a dumpster and some gasoline. And obviously something to light it with, a lighter as a new item. This could be one of those "crafted" weapons Rocket wants to add.

Shavitz 10 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) We already have matches, haven't we? Now every Zed (or survivor) is a potential fireplace to warm up in these cold nights! Hooray!Only problem will be the coding and programming of dynamic fire. I.E. zeds on fire, walking around before dropping to ashes.Edit: Oh, Bezki was slightly faster...

Shavitz 10 Posted November 15, 2012 Fireplaces made of wood are soo old school...Heating up myself with a bunch of burning bandits will be my way of keeping warm. That is, if they don't turn me into bbq first...Molotovs should DEFINITELY be in the game I think! And perhaps some more craftables like jerrycan + rag or bandage = canister bomb. Higher burning radius, heavier thus harder to throw. Just a quick idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m.w. vindicator 880 Posted November 15, 2012 yes yes yes we all know that this is a good idea. Congratulations on being the 1342840983209 person to think of it! You win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted November 15, 2012 but we allready got matches ^^i love molis. great tactical tool with +90% enterable buildings.Well, you know it would require a long animation of you first lighting the match, then taking the molotov cocktail out.I thought it was much simpler, that you just take the lighter and the molotov in your other hand, then just light it and throw.Now that I think about it, I think those both should be implemented.

Shavitz 10 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) yes yes yes we all know that this is a good idea. Congratulations on being the 1342840983209 person to think of it! You win!Me? Where's my price?? Beans or what? :PIt's just an idea. Yep, it's good. And I didn't read the suggestion before.Yeah, the problem after all is the coding of it. Of everything. For the easy way you wouldn't need new animations. Just like a grenade with flames instead of shrapnel explosion. But the burning or flames on characters may be difficult to do. It would be great if someone made full animations to it, but it's rather difficult to do as of what I know.Edit: But since we have no animations on pin pulling grenades, picking up items, chopping wood and make fireplaces either, this is not that much of a problem, right?

They can do all kinds off stuff like limping and vomiting. And on top of that, I heard bows are being added as well. So I think that's a bunch of new animations.

Shavitz 10 Posted November 16, 2012 Yay! This sounds great! Bows are cool! Somehow I can't find crossbows in the game anymore... Only the steel bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
