Laser Dot

[doodleisbrutal 33]

Maybe like a cat, you can get laser light things and zombies follow them around when they hit a surface, but it might be difficult for them to see at first, and you have to move it slowly

Hello there

When I first read this I thought. Jebus what a daft idea. But a few seconds of reflection made me rethink. I actually like this idea of a way of moving zeds silently around.

It could make for some interesting scenarios.

not sure if i should start a "general zombie distraction methods"-thread.... got some ideas

[terrorizer33 131]

Idea is cool, but might even be better to just combine it in the scope of a gun... Laserscope showing up on nvg as wel...

I figure the lasers would damage NVGs if aimed at them. Could be wrong.

Zeds have bad eyesight if i remember correct, why they still see you from hundreds of meters is a mystery. Their main way of locating survivors is hearing afaik.

Possible if they don't shut down. A flashlight should also be enough to shut it down, too.

there could also be more powerful lasers, like ones where u see the stream but it goes further, and players can see where the laser is coming from

I like the idea of lasers. my all time favorite thing to do is Dayz is put on some NVG and noscope zeds with my L85 laser. lol idk about the zeds following it though.

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

I like it. I'm also partial to sticking chemlights, flashlights, and flares on zombies. (hopefully direct light will attract zombies in the future :D )

except it would be very inaccurate

Lasers don't end that abrupt and normally you can't see lasers unless there is dirt/smoke in the air, the miltary is testing an IR one.

You can see them with nightvision , but only infrared laser . But I like star-wars too :lol:

Hello there

I have a few cheap under 5w lasers and you can see the beam with the naked eye at night no problem. And for miles as well.

It just has to be in the visible spectrum. They run off standard AAA batteries, nothing hi tech at all.

Mil spec lasers for sight use are not in the visible spectrum but NVGs etc pick them up. They are pretty accurate.

The Mil spec ones are already in vanilla A2/OA.

Lasers are pretty much old hat tech wise :)

They dont damage the NVG, They impair the user's ability to see for a few minutes as the eye's need to re-adjust to the ambient light.

The NVG themself's also need to re-adjust the surface etc.

Try wearing nvg's and looking at a flare. You will be blind! Trust me though. do it in real life and you feel like you have been blinded

Some NVG models do break if they are exposed to too much light.

Yeah because you have a lot of moisture and dust outside plus the darkness, if you use that in a cleanroom regardless of it beeing lit or not you will only see the dot.

True, but in real life "zombie/infected"situations you're gonna see em in the vis spectrum.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

I wouldn't consider any room with zeds in it a cleanroom.

I've got a front mount laser on my M9 bb gun. It's only visible for a couple of inches before it diffuses away. But it's visible, even at daytime.

I did have a green laser. Could literally see it for miles, and it was only a fiver. Hardly mil-spec, but that's besides the point.

Zombies should react to light, even if their eyes are nackered.

Torches and fires should at least intrigue them a little. Maybe lasers are too hard to see for a zed though.

[OrLoK 16188]

Green is the way forward for visability. A bit easy to trace you back though.

I find different animals react differently to laser light. So it would be nice to use em as a decoy/entrapment technique.

NEVER point ANY laser at people or wildlife kids. lasers can easily do permanent damage to your eyesight. Wear the proper eye protection for your class of laser!

mm'kay?

birds love uv lights they go crazy for them
