"Peek" through or around sheets/curtains?

[hyperchondriac]

I would love to see some kind of option between curtains being closed or completely open, maybe a severely limited field of vision where the player is only visible to zombies adjacent to the door or window?

 

The reason I ask is that during helicopter events, even if the player immediately steps back after opening the curtains to see which way the horde is moving (ie "have I been spotted?") it seems the heli can still see the player and brings a horde the the safehouse.

 

I like what the heli events do for the atmosphere of the game and don't want to see them nerfed, but it's frustrating when your player makes it inside in time, but gets spotted looking out the window; especially when it's 12pm in-game and you're not even breaking curfew.

Well, I think the heli event is just a random event which caused hordes to gather towards players' location.

But peeking through curtain or keyholes could be useful in the game.

Does anyone who isn't still holed up in the woods on an old save from several builds ago have anything to add?

I like this idea, and something id like to add is that it'd be nice if when you take down a curtain, it stays a curtain and doesn't turn into a sheet.

I would like it but that you would only have a limited range of view to balance it out.

also, peepholes for apartments and what not would be great.

I've wanted this for a while. In no zombie movie, ever, do you see a character throw the blinds or curtains wide open just to take a peak out, unless they're trying to get noticed. You peek out, and that minimizes your chances of being seen. A few possibilities for implementation, as mentioned above: Decreased view range out the window, but decreased or no chance of being seen by zombies; Another option is that you have to stay "peaking" for a while while your sight range slowly expands. However it's implemented, this would add not only to the gameplay but also to the immersion of the game.
