Ignite flare while holding it.

Recommended Posts

I'd like a change how flare works right now.

Currently u just throw the flare and it automatically ignites.

How bout when we left-click, flare ignites and you are still holding it.(of course the flare animation should change) and when u left click again, that's when the throwing action starts.

This kinda adds some realism and coolism? lol

I mean like in the movies. When they are in a cave or somethin

They ignite in their hands, they don't throw it :)

What's your opinion?

This would be very useful too, not just for the cool effect. My first log in was at night and I quickly spent 10 flares following a road. Of course, I didn't get anywhere but if I could run with a lit flare, then I could cover more ground.

I'm not sure about realism though. Would the flare be a hazard being lit in your hands?

you can carry flares now, just walk up to it and use the action menu and select pick up flare... you are now holding a lit flare. However you are also basically holding a huge sign that says "COME KILL ME!!!" to every zombie and player within 1 km...

Suggestion's alright, but I don't really see much use in it.

Flares are pretty much designed to not be a fire hazard since you're supposed to hold them like a torch.

You can walk up to a flare on the ground and pick it up as of now.
