How to keep bandits/Player killers at bay

Why don't they allow players to be able to find materials which could be used along with a flare or clip of ammo - as a form of booby trap that will injure the person who opens the bag but doesn't kill them/ flare would burn and injure -plus damage the items in the backpack/ The clip of ammo/gun powder would also injure the person but also create a large sound= alert zombies.

The cost of setting up this booby trap on your own pack is that you loose most of your back pack slots/ depending on the backpack version.

None of these should kill the player who is looting. Plus the trap setting should be something where you need a few key items -so everyone doesn't do this.

This will make players think twice when killing a player and looting their bag since there is a slight chance you might just alert every zombie in the small radius or injure yourself- costing you morphine/painkillers and bandage possibly.

Some type of system like this could be used so it doesn't punish those who kill in self defense.

All your doing is making the bandit think,..is this back pack booby trapped? Is it worth the risk?

The Mod is all about emotion and keep you thinking and on edge.

There could a script that could do a check when the backpack is open/or body is looted. The Script will ask- is the player is dead?

True----is there a booby trap?

False- open and player can loot

True- Trap goes off and injury is done/ and sound (depending on type of trap) -use a flask and explosive bang sound- determine the radius = if zombies are alerted

The booby trap will take more space = so there is a lose to the person if they use this/ Also the items could be destroyed-or most due to the trap- so bandit doesn't get everything

This will make bandits wonder ,..i could back stab and kill the other player but does he/she have a trap in the backpack that will cost me- is it better to work with there person-- it becomes a gamble/ mind game

Thanks
