Radios and random events

[sirpukealot 3]

Hello everyone, before I get shot down and people abuse me i did have a look but couldn't find anything specific on my suggestion.

 

Basically my idea for Radios / Walkie Talkies is that you could receive random Broadcasts whether they are Civilian or Military advising of things going on in the Map of Chernarus.

 

This could be as little as a Car breaking down that is in working order that a random survivor has left and is asking for an SOS, or a Military Helicopter pilot Broadcasting a message informing the world that he is going down and give a rough location as to where to find it. Im not saying that the NPC players need to be alive when you get there but i would like to think it would ad some use for the Radios as i believe if you want to talk with friends you will just use SKype,

 

Thanks

Well, I really like this, a small chance of happening, I like the helicopter idea.

 

But the radius would/should be very small, about 5-10km2 since you don't want the entire map to hear it and rush into one big massacre.

 

And about SOS signals, I think walkie talkies should be 1-3km2 and for a 30-50km2 radius you should somehow use the radio towers up the hills to send the message.

A car breaking down in workin order? And radios will be used to receive online chernarus radoi signals from whitelisted radio shows there was a post by matt awhile Ago with registration and music channels made by dev team.

The military and police should be long-range radio. Makes a request to the mainland. Then tell the coordinates of the place. In the area designated places descend on cargo parachute.

Great idea, never got the point og the walkie talkie, i use steam or TS when i play

i look forward to radios.

 

with your own voip solution, you talk to your friends. with ingame radios, you have the possibility to hook up with strangers in your vicinity (or lure them into a trap). and you'll have people playing "Hits of the 80s" on some frequencies. this will be fabulous.

I really like this idea, Care packages would be great.

I am a big fan of random events.

 

Here are a few, i must be feeling negative as they are all bad

 

Gum misfire, with a chance of injury to the owner - hate when that happens

Blown tire on a mountain road. - yikes!!!!

Blown hydralic line/stabilizer on a chopper. - O SHIT!!!!!!

Slip and fall down stairs. - Well ok we all know the problems with stairs in the mod. LOL

Opening a can of beans with a knife, can slips and knife lodges in your .... whatever. -  get the point?

 

I see this stuff as way down the road kind of things after we have a finsihed product.

I'd like to be able to transfer through various frequencies on a radio and happen to come upon some type of communication in either English or a Russian language that's distorted by static.

 

That, or an emergency broadcast that could provide some form of a back story.
