rain noise and zombie detection

[flevius 1]

It seems like rain should impact how well zombies can detect us, particularly the noise levels they can detect. Adding a modifer to the code for the audial detector would be pretty easy. Something like:

if (_raining) then {

_audial = round(_speed * dayz_surfaceNoise * _scaleMvmt * 0.75);

else

_audial = round(_speed * dayz_surfaceNoise * _scaleMvmt);

};

+1 good idea would read again (i was thinking this last night!)

Personally I'd change the _scaleMvmt variable to around 0.5 or 0.6, as rain is pretty loud in life.

Good idea. It would probably also make you harder to see. Would make for a good tradeoff to the heat you lose from being out in the rain. (Not that there needs to be a tradeoff, but if it makes sense...)

This is already planned for the patch being released tomorrow. Go check the dayz announcements forum.

Sorry, i searched for "rain noise" and got no results.

I think this will be added in 1.7.2.. Because, Rocket wrote there something like:Weather stealth
