Fix the grass

[applejaxc 2500]

In real life, if there's an annoying blade of grass in front of your scope, you take the sane course of action and flatten it to make your rifle useable, don't you?

In real life, if you crush grass by laying on it, it doesn't spring back up when you stand.

In real life, your feet are just as capable of grass crushing as your stomach and chest.

So I suppose 3 changes:

1: Wider radius of grass flattening when prone.

2: Grass remains "Down" for a length of time, rather than popping back up when you stand.

3: Walking flattens grass.

I like the walking flattens grass idea, would be cool if you could track people.

Currently in the Mod you can't lie somewhere for a long time without having to move every few minutes to flatten the grass around your character.

It pops up even without standing up. And that should be fixed or at least should be looked at.

I mean i don't care if the grass springs back up if i stand up. But as long as i am lying somewhere the grass should stay down.

The grass is made up of pretty wide 2d squares. Having those flattening when you walk would look a bit silly. Unless we can find shoes this size

These are already in ArmA 2.

If there is a "wider radius" of grass, that would mean flatten grass where you are not laying. Instead it should be "entire body that is touching the ground flattens grass" or something similar. I also believe that grass stays down when you stand.

Walking flattening grass would also be pretty neat, but would cause unnessessary stress on a server.

No.

I suggested wider flatten area. That isn't "Already in"

Yes it is. A pretty wide area gets flattened when you move proned.

A wider flattened area wouldn't even make sense. The only grass that should get flattened is the grass your body is directly lying on.

As for the grass being flattened when you walk, as Statik said, it would just cause unnecessary server lag.

No.

That was not really mean to be a question tho. But to consider it so, then the answer wud be "Yes."

I like the walking flattens grass idea, would be cool if you could track people.

I think it would be cooler just to see some footprint on the ground when someone would move around. It would be more logical cus you could actually keep tracking the target even though there is no "high grass" around but normal grass/pure ground. Anyone knows any ArmA II mod for such a feature ?

i want more grass and way higher. grass grows pretty damn fast pretty damn high if no one takes care of it. So i think the grass all around in chernarus should be at least half a meter higher. a neat idea to track mamals, zeds and players! :thumbsup:
