3 Ideas

[CommanderX (DayZ) 52]

Ok so I have 3 ideas some I know are going to be in game but anyway

1: barricading cars

2: mounting guns in cars

3: moving in cars

 

so scenario

Your friends have spent the last 2 months in dayz and you see a group of bandits in a UAZ with good gear so you jump in your truck while driving you cant shoot due to barricading the windows so you climb to the back and get on the roof where you attach a SAW LMG to the roof and shoot the bandits UAZ to scrap metal

 

so yeah tell me what you think

 

NEW IDEA!

see my avatar I want to see those uniforms in game so imagine running around finding military uniforms than gunning down bandits in the name of justice?

I would like to see it that you can either heavily armour your car, with some firepower. Or have lots of firepower and less armour.

In order to "pimp your ride" I would like to see it be realistic. I don't like the idea of just being able to mount a gun on the top. I think mounting it on the passenger window, rear window, etc would be much more original and creative.

 

I don't want to see rotatable crownests turrets. Maybe a LMG with a 90 degree radius tops with little to no surrounding armour. Another concern I have is, after a while, servers will become filled with all these up armoured cars, cars with lots of firepower, etc.

 

So instead of finding a UAZ, you'll find a UAZ with metal plated windows, with a 240 out the passenger window.

I believe 1 (I think the popular term is Mad Maxing) is going to be in when vehicles are readded to the game, 2 I think is something they might want to do but haven't heard anything about. (they will be absent in the Alpha release from my understanding).  Number 3, assuming you mean like walking around in the back of a Ural or van, or even running around the cargo bay of a c130 is as far as I know is not possible with the engine (it would turn the car into a blender with you as the goldfish in a sense).  If you mean just jumping from seat to seat it's something we can do already in the mod.

Mike when I say moving around in cars I don't mean TPing to another seat I want to see my player get up and move around to the seat

I would like the moving aspect to be shuffling along a back seat with A+D but also ducking to avoid being a clear target.

Possibly an in car animation for climbing in and out of the drivers seat?

Shooting in a car should be limited, mounting a gun should greatly increase the ease of shooting but limit your ability to switch sides etc etc.

Barrel roll in C130 cargo bay ;D

Ah, I see now, not just a blink from seat to seat but an actual animation/sequence/movement whatever you want to call it.  Should be possible as far as i know  Quick, someone buy the team a Skoda for their Mocap studio!  I also like the idea of being able to duck or lean that was mentioned above, not sure but I think I actually did lean inside a car by pressing q and e in either DayZ, ToH, or the Arma2 Armory, can't remember which, but yeah a duck and lean would be very good to provide at least a little bit of cover in a firefight or under sniper attack (I would limit it so that if your ducking your forced to first person or something so you don't have guys just using third person to avoid getting shot and drive like a pro).

I've mentioned this several times in related posts but I would like to see it so that we could mount (almost) any gun on a vehicle (not something like a pistol or anything silly like that) providing you actually have the gun.  Yeah i'd be more worth it to mount an actual MG on a vehicle, but duck tapping an AKM to a broomstick and sticking it out the newly created 'sunroof' of your van should do in a pinch.

@bigmike

I remember leaning while piloting the little bird in Arma 3 I couldn't work out how I did it and couldn't lean back XD.

As far as I am aware of you can look around and even lean in arma 3 why shouldn't we be able to duck without too much extra programming?

For ducking when in third person... Your camera should be forced downwards so you have very little visibility infront of you, I feel that's a fair penalty.
