Better Zombie AI Detection

[applejaxc 2500]

So we've all seen dev videos concerning the new zombie tracking and attacking system. That's great. What worries is me when/how the SA zombies will agro.

My suggestion:

Zombies will not curiously move towards you without audio stimuli, like shooting or eating.

Zombies will not run at you or attack without visual confirmation.

Zombies do not agro just because other zombies agro; each zombie must see the player. However, zombies *will* shamble at medium-speed in the direction of other zombies.

This way a sniper doesn't get agroed by every zombie in town, but he does have to change positions every few shots so quizzical zombies don't see him.

"Ninjas" can shoot a player, and if they escape in time, avoid being chased by zombies, although you can expect the dead player's body to be covered in zeds.

You can get your "Walking Dead" fetish on, if you do so have one, by crawling and hiding, instead of taking one step and every zombie to Cherno and back suddenly charging you.

If only this was further in the future. Then I could ask for things such as the zombies crawling on the floor holding your legs until you kick them/shoot them off. Ah well....
