Family System?

[Raven7212 0]

Just want to know what you guys think of this, what about family, in a real zombie apocolypse would everyone suddenly run off and ditch everyone they knew? I bring this up as a way of making it easier to form groups without being paranoid about the guy behind you, now in order not to make a family into a giant clan make a max of 3-5 people In a family, and once someone joins a family it's permanent and yes for all the smart Alec's I know it's not really realistic to randomly join a family, but the point of this is family members can't shoot other family members, attempting to fire at them does nothing and when logging In you spawn on a random family member, though when you die you are no longer part of that family. Not something I expect to be put in or anything since the amount of code needed would be ridiculous but I thought it was an interesting idea.

I'm not trying to make this the sims this is a much simpler idea, I was suggesting it as an idea to form an in game group while being realistic .

Personally, I think this is a pretty good idea...

Those that lean towards this idea should have a look at this post on spawning as randomised groups, it is basicly a more indepth look at this subject.

I looked at that other post, and yeah it does look pretty good, the main thing though with my idea was the inability to shoot members of the group

But family (and therefore children) are essential for long term survival - working in a supermarket isnt. If DayZ had half the features of the Sims I would love it!
