[Suggestion] Zombie Behavior V2 Topic

[Countercruel 2]

So i had a brainwave for zombie behavior again, this time focusing on sound.

For the purposes of this suggestion lets focus on lightning and thunder as a prime:

-When lightning strikes at night, zombies automatically look in the direction of the flash, this gives a sense of a creepy nature when all of a sudden when your looking down at elcktro at night in the rain a lighting strikes behind you and all you see is the zombies around the town looking up towards the hill with a dull lifeless look to them, almost alerted to it and some may even go and investigate.

+Benefits: Causes bandit or survivor snipers to reposition, less being caught red handed and making other players without scoping or binoculars aware that someone is up the hill or over the ridge.

-When thunder screams throughout the forests and towns in day or night, again the zombies will be shocked and jump out of there skin in a alert state, some getting off from the ground to investigate. Thunder can possibly also cause hordes that travel in the direction the thunder came from.

For the purposes of the final suggestion, we will focus of the sounds made by the player and smell.

- The player will have a meter of smell on there screen that shows how much there scent is covered by such things like wind. This can also be covered by crawling through thick grass, after a certain time doing so a message will pop in the corner of the screen telling you that your scent is now 100% gone.

- If a player causes a explosion or fire in a area where zombies are most prone to be in, then the fire itself will cause the zombies to be confused to its presence and some, not all will investigate.

They will stand by the closest place by the fire and look at it in wonder because they have no idea what it is thats causing the noise and heat.

Hope this is good enough for discussion. thanks for your time reading this. A Bean eater :)

interesting, but a little gimmicky.

All sounds cool except the smell part, this is just another visual sight thing and doesn't really make much sense. There is most likely very few times that would actually matter as well.
