Dead Body Temperature

Not sure if any similar ideas have been put forward, so apologises if they have.

But I was thinking that being able to check a dead bodies temperature could be a good way to add tension. Say you find a dead player, you check the temp and it says "still warm, recently died" it could possible mean the killer is right round the corner. Alternatively they could be miles away or the body states "stone cold" meaning its been a while since the death.

Could also be a good way of tracking other players that may not leave trails of dead zombies but like to hunt other players. I know there are a few bandit hunters on here, which could benefit from this sort of feature.

A few issues I thought of so far:

- not sure how long dead players remain in the game atm.

- do you scale the time it takes for a body to go cold for example. If bodies despawn after 20 mins do you allow the body to state it is cold after 15 mins where as in real life it may take a while longer.

The idea came into my head the other night, when I was using 2 dead players, one I had killed as I watched them murder an innocent player. While I was leaving the dead bodies I saw another player coming over to loot them their selves. Could of been cool to see them panic when they realise the two dead players had just died and that the killer may of been very close watching and waiting.

I think bodies stay for about 15mins i believe, also with the current bug of bodies instantly going it could be a problem, its a good idea though i like it makes it more tactical i guess
