Study dead body tell you how decayed/how long ago they died

[olangotang 2]

Could be they died x minutes ago or the body is fresh, the body is fairly decayed the body or the body is rotten etc. would be neat to see if many people are near/approximiately how long ago they died

I believe this is being added soon.

Okay awesome, i thought it might be a fairly common suggestion but couldn't see it on the first two pages, feel free to delete this if it's confirmed or whatever

This would be an awesome idea. Tracking near bodies would be cool too, gives you an idea of where the culprits headed off to.

You guys should definatly checkout ChaoticRambos thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19143-body-inspection-with-degredation/

Yeah, It would be awesome if you studied the body and found info like "The seem to have been killed from shots to the <insert body part here> <rough estimate of how long ago here>"

+1

Would be cool if you knew a bandit was around recently

[Igor (DayZ) 96]

How long ago would be amazing.

much better than how it is now... it said.. his name was XXX,it appears he died from. END. he died from "what".. dont work now.. it could be cool if will say.. His name was XXX,it appears he died from gunshot wounds (zombie beaten wounds) X "time" ago.... I am not sure if i wrote it correctly because poor english :D so... example : His name was John,it appears he died from gunshot wounds, 16 minutes ago.. (than you will say.. 16 minutes ago... oh.. i think that bandit is gone yet.. ) :D

not too specific. "He appears to have died recently from a gunshot wound".

if it were an axe, perhaps "severe lacerations"

If it were a zombie. "blunt force trauma" and/or something that mentions the flesh being torn from the body.

i like this because. you could make it look like someone was killed by a zombie if you (for instance) beat them to death with a crowbar.

[antiskub2.0 17]

if there were clues that gave you an idea of where the shot came from. that could be cool. like, if you saw a body lying face down with a point of entry wound on the right side of his head, you could assertain where the shooter may be holed up.

yeah.. you are right.. BUT that gunshot wound has to identifies everybody... damn, we know how gunshot wound look like.

Anyway.. new idea :D..

1,Died recently

No flies around and bleeding from wound

2,About hour

flies,no bleeding,puddle of blood

3,Long time ago (to clarify 2+ hours)= not realistic but prevents lagging

flies,puddle of blood,rotten flesh

This is a good idea and I'd like to see it implemented, like others have said I'm pretty sure this is being added more in-depth soon.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Rocket mentioned something about this in his interview with TotalBiscuit.

Seriously, check out ChaoticRambos thread (http://dayzmod.com/f...th-degredation/ ) he has some awsome examples of how this mechanic could work, covering just about ALL the ways you could possibly be killed :) .
