Paladyn 8 Posted March 12, 2013 Short version for whose who don`t like to read a lot:Add new parameter to animal/human object - attractiveness. This would be another addition to decide if zombie attack or not. If you are not attractive (covered with zombie guts), zombie won`t attack untill it smells you, but it will gladly jump on poor rabbit meat You brought.Longer version:I don`t know how many of you guys watch "The walking dead", but for whose who watch. In last episode there was guy, who was using animals to attract zombies (rats, rabbits in cages). This could be quite fun feature in Day Z Standalone - catch a rabbit into cage (made with new great crafting system), then use it to attract zombies in city - which allow to loot some places which are overrun.How I see this working. I`m not sure about how Arma models are build, but I would add "attractive" variable to object (women model always get 100%!). When zombie see some actor (animals/people are the same object?)will check actor`s attractiveness. If there are two models in same distance it will choose more attractive. I would add some function to count attractiveness with distance, sight, smell values.This could be quite fun feature - some other objects could have +/- addons to attractiveness - for example red shirt give +10 attractiveness and red shirt covered in zombie guts -10. This makes a lot more possibilities to avoid enemy (of course it won`t affect PvP).Adding some items which effect attractiveness could be quite good addition to Standalone (dezodorants, face/body paints, smell protectors?...).Btw. I was always wondering why zombies don`t eat animals. I would be funny to see 100 zombies running after small rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torix 10 Posted March 12, 2013 yeah i'm also a walking dead fan. I thought long time ago about this idea. It would be really great to see such a thing in-game. Imagine you walking between zombies coated in their guts. They would take you as one of them. completely love this! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
