Strang Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 How about being able to hide in certain places such as , in dumpsters , under beds, in some cabinets , in showers, and in closets . This would allow you to hide from players and eventually npcs, either to wait for them to turn their back and get the jump on them or wait till they leave. Being in these places should effect panic levels, the longer you are in there the more panicked you get , and if someone is close by while you are hiding you should become extremely panicked, and begin to make some noise. If you pick the overweight trait you may not be able to fit in some tighter places, while picking athletic should allow you to get into smaller spots. Also if you pick the clostropgobic trait, you should become panicked quicker. Players should get the option to check hiding place to see if anyone is there. colorfastnewt7, Comrade Crimson, MrZombifiedGamer and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvhv Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 OP plz nerf nah i'm just joking but honestly I would feel safer in a dumpster than out there also there should be a decreased fov when in there or something like that xD and maybe only gain panic if they start searching it..? but other than that it would be pretty cool Serrate Bloodrage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrahan12 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 When they add crouching or even prone, this will be pretty cool! I can imagine hiding under a bed, while 20 zombies roam throughout my base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troblin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hiding should be implemented if there will be some sort of ai mechanism forcing zombies into a bit more wandering around, thus giving players more coherent windows of opportunity to escape. This mechanism would require a bit of balancing in smell mechanics and a separate feature of alternating between max hide min vision and some vision with less hiding (i.e. looking out) with a chance to make noise when switching conditions. So a large garbage container could mask your smell well but would have a tiny chance to scratch you, have problematic vision and a chance to make noise when you switch hiding stances, while a derelict car or a toilet cabin would give you better vision and provide less noise, but mask you far less. dRelix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 And if someone blows your cover? I mean, if a player looks in the dumpster or closet where you're hiding. Means we should also be able to shoot player while they're inside, or hit them after opening the dumpster or closet doors... Also, instead of showing up in loot menu, there should be a sprite for player being inside one of those things. BTW, I'd also implement a possibility to fight back while hiding, just imagine: you're looting someone's house, open a closet, and then - BAM, someone jumps out at ya with a knife! Or a rolling pin... Or a spoon Some Clever Username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiemonkey Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Maybe even a hiding skill? (yes yes its inspired by Neo scavenger...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonholtz Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like it and it would be nice in game. But you know what happens in all the zombie movies to the guy who hides in a dumpster or a closet and lets the zeds go by. He slowly looks up and thinks it clear till the one zed he missed grabs him from behind and then the horder comes back and finish them off. Oh zombie movies how I love them.
