Burning fires to set buildings interior aflame

Recommended Posts

Well the title says it all in a weird way .. The idea is basically for down the road aways but this was never in the mod and I can see why . My idea is to be able to set a fire inside a building and to have some smoke and fire system that spreads , so if you were in a wood house looting someone sets a fire downstairs in the living room and then guards the doors (unless barricades are in by then in that case the arsonist would use a barricade to block the door ) so he could watch his enemy burn . Granted it is a very specific type of suggestion but it would add a great deal of fun just like force feeding and taking people captive . The building set on fire wouldn't crumble to pieces ( until dayz makes better physics sometime after beta or so ) but the interior would look scorched and all the loot would be "ruined" the fire would stop after ten mins of real time , and the house would respawn and look normal after restart . Also from the outside people could see the smoke pouring out the windows , doesn't have to be too textured to help the fps situation and if you are a hero , maybe a firefighter or high temperature suit could be added to help prevent burning in fires , obviously as soon as you enter the burning house you would receive damage , even if you have the fire proof suit , so it won't be invincible but would at least keep you from passing out from the smoke or maybe just a reduction of the damage the fire does to keep it simple . Again this , if everyone likes it could be added way down the road , so lemme know what you think and please don't use "we don't need this now " as a counter example , because I'm not suggesting it for now just down the line a bit ;)
