[v. 1.5.7] Zombies Walk through Walls.

[Siphex 2]

Date/Time:

14 May, 2012 - Approximately 18:30

What happened:

Zombies were able to walk through the walls and doors of buildings.

Where you were:

A warehouse and later a shed in Elektrozavodsk.

What you were doing:

Looting for gear and sneaking around, regular stuff.

*Current installed version:

1.5.7

*Timeline of events before/after error:

I had just spawned as a new character at the harbor of Elektro and ventured into the city looking for gear. I entered a warehouse building and closed the doors while searching through the loot. I was about the leave when zombies walked right through the door, they weren't chasing me just shambling at walking speed through the warehouse. They never attacked or begin to chase me eve though I was very clsoe to them and fully visible.

Later I had entered a small shed when upon exiting a zombie began chasing me, I ran back into the shed and shot the zombie from there. This alerted other nearby zombies who started running for me. I shot one running for the entrance but was then knocked unconscious by zombies that had clipped through the walls of the building.

Although I think this bug might be related to the ArmA 2 engine as a whole and not just DayZ, I've approved for Bug Report anyway, just incase.

Cheers.

Just adding that I've had this as well, and only really noticed it post-1.5.7.

On one occasion I walled myself off in this warehouse after being fairly badly wounded, but as you can see here, the zombies kept coming:

[-=Grunt=- (DayZ) 0]

It's a bug with ArmA 2's engine. Hopefully ArmA 3 with good collision physics using PhysX will solve this.
