A thought on doors

[Darrok 0]

I'd like different door types in DayZ.

I'm not sure if this is gonna be realisable with the DayZ engine, or how far it can be implemented in the already been worked on engine.

LOCKED DOORS:

There should be a several (if all houses in Cherno could be enterable, a maximum of 20 in the city should be fine) buildings, that need a key to open.

Just a few buildings with a better gear in them, like Alice Packs could be found there, not only in shops.

If the door was opened once, it will need something around 20-30 minutes without a player around them.

Keys:

The keys could be used around 10-35 times and breaks randomly. The door, where the key broke, is locked and you have to break the door. They should be common.

You should need a different key for big towns like Cherno and Elektro. 3-4 small neighbor towns are sharing the same keys.

You could find lockpicks, too. But they're rare,can be found anywhere and it takes a while to open the door. They should break after 1-10 uses randomly. You can use them at any door.

Other ways to open doors:

Of couse you could break the door with hits and kicks, but it will attract zombies.

With axes or with a weapons (propably only assault rifles and snipers) you could make it faster.

With a crow bar, you could do it very fast and nearly without noise.

DOORS WITH BARRICADES:

There should be a VERY small chance of doors with barricades behind them. That's what people do when zombies roam around.

A number of 2-4 barricade doors maximum should be maximum for a town like cherno.

Of course, you can't see those barricades from the outside, because they're inside. (Pretty obvious, huh?)

You go to a door,if you try to open it, then it says something like this:

"Seems like a barricade is blocking that door."

How to open them:

If you have a grenade, you can use them now. I didn't saw much players use a grenade against zombies/players).

There would be an option to destroy the barricade with your grenade.

You punch a hole in the door and drop the grenade in there.

Now, run.

It will make a little hole in the wall and destroy the barricade.

This will attract zombies and players, but there should be good loot spawns.

NOTE:

I will track answers and add or rework ideas, if they're good.

P.S.

Here's a door.

Because punching through doors is realistic.

Maybe not punching, kicking, axing,with a crow bar,with a weapon butt. (don't know how to say it different, that's the only thing how to say it in english, it isn't my native language)

I don't know, be creative. :D

Thanks for the picture. I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by 'door'.
