SpazzMan502 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 One thing that has bothered in Project Zomboid over the past year or two i've had it is the zombies' human-like agility.These zombies barely have enough coordination to walk, yet when there's a small fence or open window, they don't scramble over or or something. They LEAP over it. One clean move and its already coming after you. You would think jumping over a fence with zombies behind you would slow them down a bit..When you think of a zombie trying to enter a house through a window, it would be tough work. It should be lucky for a zombie to drag itself over a windowframe, get inside, and start walking, let alone HOP in like it was nothing.I'm thinking zombies should take a lot longer time to enter a house through a window, maybe a bit less time if it's a fence. Maybe even falling over when they cross, much like when they jump out of a 2 storywindow. This could also be affected by zombie "age", kind of like how they slow down and get weaker the longer they've been reanimated.With so much realism involved in this game, zombies jumping over stuff seems a bit silly.Edit: The Higher zombie agility is in sandbox mode, it should be effected. For example, sprinters could easily jump over stuff, since they can run just as well as people.This could be a nice addition to the already hyped Animation Update.

Zapp Brannigan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 That'd lead to trouble with sprinters though, who should be able to vault over things as easily as the player and NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spracky Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think you nailed it (no pun intended) with the animation update. I'm sure we will get plenty of new animations such as little things like this when the animation update arrives.

CaptKaspar Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can't argue with this! Hopefully this will be part of the animations update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryhizzle Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Fantastic suggestion, I like the idea of them falling over fences, and maybe falling on the ground when they enter through windows. Â They can keep it close to the same speed of entry, and make it look realistic at the same time. Â Â They way they hop over and though things always got to me, considering how they walk normally.

MrZombifiedGamer Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Terrible suggestion, needs more zombification. Waiter! Waiter! Ask the chef to fix my order!Just kidding, good suggestion. xDÂ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDan Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Lemmy said this, or at least it was in a mondoid. They want them to fall in over windows and obstacles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Perhaps there needs to be a better animation where they kinda crawl over the obstacles and fall down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and a slower speed while doing so. I feel this problem on an emotional level ever since they jumped over a small gate at the exact same speed my character did.

You can see the zombies falling over the fences now. Â Animation Vidya Kuren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice985 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This should definitely be in the settings. I think there is a setting for Zombies opening doors. If they can do that they can vault a fence. I'd hate for it to be so simple to setup a gun line outside your base with a few rows of fences and just easily mowing down 10,000 of them or until you run out of bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be many at once (fence falls over form weight), or over use of the fence (fence slowly degrades with wear). The way they get over it in the new animation video looks like it would put stress on the fence. Slice985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
