Door Opening System

[TEST_SUBJECT_83 465]

I know there has been a few suggestions about opening doors quietly and or bashing doors open.

I was thinking of a system that allows you to open a door multiple ways with the same key.

 

Open door normally = "F"

Open door and close it behind you = press "F" (hold it until you are inside), release "F"

(can also be used to open doors as slowly as you want, hold "F" and use your mouse to drag door open/shut. Can also peek with this.)

Bash door open = press "F" while sprinting at door.

Kick open door = double tap "F" while standing in front of doorway that swings that direction.

 

 

Typing this post just gave me another idea.

What if we had the ability to hold a door shut from the other side to keep another player out?

The mechanics I stated above would work for this.

Just press "F" and hold it to keep the door shut and the player on the other side can double tap "F" to kick the door.

Now having "F" held gives you control of the door. Dragging your mouse down will open the door, just holding "F" wont hold for to many kicks, you need to be slowly dragging your mouse upward while he kicks to keep the door shut.

You just have to make sure he doesn't kick while you lift your mouse up and re-position it to drag upward again or he'll kick it open and knock you down :)

 

Again, just some random ideas. Not saying DayZ needs these immediately, just want to share some possible future ideas.

    This sounds like an amazing idea at first, and I'm not trying to criticize you, but for me it would be useless. Honestly, If someone was holding the door shut, I wouldn't kick it, I'd shoot that thing with my shotgun and go all Clint Eastwood on him. Also, I doubt we would have a need for peeking in doors, the only place I could think of a use for it for is at Airfields, and for that I think it would be cool.

 

   Honestly, I would like to see sounds implemented when you open doors, so you know when someone's coming without listening for footsteps. I do think your idea is cool, but just lacking. It does have potential, though.

This is a rare thread where i can legitimately say... take my beans.

Cool idea, would be a useful feature if implemented properly. I can imagine we would have many death by door and broken limb threads if it was done badly though.

I would like if "open door normally = F" would more so just being unlatching the bolt holding it closed.. Not much of a fan that doors are a complete animation for opening/closing more so and cant just be swinging freely if they are open.

This would allow you to push doors open slowly or just run full out into them and they would swing open quickly.

Makes sense.
