trillz (DayZ) 0 Posted May 28, 2012 playing for about 2 hrs and end up getting knocked down by MF! zebs hitting you through a wall and dieing because of it.More to the story I was at Stary Sobor by the military tent's (Very populated area with zombies most I've seen). I was running from one zombie, so I knew I had to kill him. I backed into one of the tent's knowing that more of them would come, planning to funnel them through the entrance. Right after I killed the first zombie 1 more came from the front and I'm guessing about 2 were attacking me from outside the tent through the wall caused me to instantly knockout or w/e the fk it is and I died was pretty mad.

pilot 13 Posted May 28, 2012 stand in the middle of the room, I'm guessing rocket will fix the morphing zed attacks once we hit beta, but arma was never built with melee combat in mind so its probably hard to get it to understand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machomanugget 26 Posted May 28, 2012 yeh this is the one and only thing i dont like in the mod, many times now i have survived for a while only to sneak past many Zed into a house to find something i needed to end up being killed by the Zed coming out of the walls...it breaks me!

RaymondThorne 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Arma has no melee attack, so zombies only have a proximity attack. Arma 3 might fix this engine limitation, otherwise you'll just have to wait for standalone DayZ, unless he can code a way out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Latros 1 Posted May 28, 2012 I fear walls as well now... had a similiar instance on Balato AF... agrod the whole field somehow.. .withdrew to the tower and started taking them down from the stairs... 20 Zeds later and starting to feel like a hero.. And then a Z warps through the wall and 1 hit knocks me out causing death. Today I died while walking out of a shed... no clue how or why... full health.. took 1 step out of a shed and my bones broke and I bleed out instantly died in 2 seconds... game makes you want to hate it.

UnAVA 1 Posted May 28, 2012 I still don't know why DayZ zombies can walk through closed doors. I mean, in the original ARMA2, AI soldiers surely didn't walk through closed doors right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParaB 114 Posted May 28, 2012 I haven't been attacked through a wall in a long time. Just make it a habit to stand 2m away from every wall and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boxman80 964 Posted May 28, 2012 Ive fallen foul of this myself a few times. Worst of it is I’ve actually seen the Zombies morph through the walls too, so I’ve been attacked from behind by zombies that have some how managed to get in to the same room as me through the walls! Now I tend to stay well away from the walls now or where possible get off the ground floor in buildings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying On Fumes 33 Posted May 28, 2012 Collision detection as alway's been poor in FP/Arma series, hopefully Arma3 will sort that out.Zombies can break through wall's in movies so just think your playing Dawn Of The Dead... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instagoat 13 Posted May 28, 2012 Maybe check if a player is inside a building, and only allow Zeds who are also in the same building to perform their attack successfully.What won´t be fixed is them quantum-warping trough walls, though. That´s been a problem with the game ever since OFP, and seems to be an inherent limitation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth (DayZ) 3 Posted May 28, 2012 heh, the other dya i was playing and I had just gathered a bunch of ammo and a nice main gun (ak w/ kobra). I ran all the way to Cherno to meet up with a friend. I got to the church and i was running against the wall when all of a sudden I died instantly. No gun shots..just the sound of broken bones and me falling. Apparently I glitched into the wall or something and died instantly. I lost everything. When i got back to the church my body wasn't even there so i couldn't get my loot back.FML.

cuca 20 Posted May 28, 2012 I really cant understand how can someone die from zombies. I play this mod almost since it came out but I have never died by a zombie attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
