light signal w/ mirrors

[Romzzy 4]

would be great to be able to signal friends that you are looking for or trying to regroupe w/ a mirror or shiny objects. could even be used in a tactical situation

I was just about to post a new topic on this

 

But it would be great if you could like break the rear view mirror off of a car and use it to see around corners when you're in big cities or urban combat. Trade off would be you could see around a corner but if the mirror hit the light source of the sun it would glint and other people would know you're there

I'd like to see glint from scopes implemented too. Not the "is he flashing his torch at me" kind of glare that you see in Battlefield, but a subtle and realistic glint that you'd expect to see when sunlight reflects off glass. There's a reason scopes have anti-glare coatings and covers.

Mirrors are a survivors best friend.

Why not.

 

Problem is the light wouldn't be visible beyond 1km because of the network bubble.

Things that happen beyond 1km from your character are not broadcast to you, at least I think it was 1km.

Does DayZ have the PIP for mirrors? I know Arms 3 does (side view mirrors work with PIP displays.)
