Roshi (DayZ) 396 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Instead of a generic "Hands" box in the inventory, have neighbouring boxes for left and right hands. - Double handed items (e.g. rifles, axes) go across both.Allows the possibility of:- Pistol and flashlight (when don't have underslung flashlight).- Pistol and knife- Two pistols (obvious penalties for recoil and aiming)- pistol and handcuffs (so you can cuff someone at gunpoint)(if dual wielding weapons or weapon + item then RMB doesn't aim - activates second item)- map and compass (PS be great for immersion if maps were held in hand rather than a separate screen a la current setup).- map and flashlight or lighter (for night play)- tin of beans and can opener.- put item in each hand to combine for crafting system - e.g. sticks and duct tape for splinting, attaching gas stove to gas bottle. As an aside, what about an open door animation - 'lock' character to door for duration of animation (as per using ladders). More cosmetic than anything but I get sick of being pushed to one side by opening doors. Edited January 4, 2014 by Roshi 46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMZ_Sniper 73 Posted December 30, 2013 Interesting, but I would say that having any kind of item in your second hand while using a pistol will automatically result in a much worse accuracy for the pistol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Bogan 350 Posted December 30, 2013 Funny enough i was thinking about this sort of implementation of 2 hands.. Like torch in one hand and pistol in other.. But dual pistol etc not really a fan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roshi (DayZ) 396 Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah - I mentioned dual pistols as I thought it would come up but not the reason that I would want this system implemented. Anyways - in a dayz kinda game would likely not be that useful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soulfirez 901 Posted January 4, 2014 Take my beans no need to hold me up for them LOL this is a good idea in my opinion i mean the devs have gone down the path of everything being usable visible in hands why not use both of them ????? As for the door animations oh hell yes lol i have wanted this in arma for a long time (was one of my dashed hopes with arma 3 ) this and a redoing of the ladder animation is it really that hard to put a second phase to animation that once reaching the top you pull yourself onto roof rather than continue to climb an invisible ladder till your feet reach the top then blink and you have finally stepped onto roof ( sorry it kills my immersion big time specially as i am a first person type player lol .

aodqw97 78 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Some good ideas here, they get my support. Why does your character look wider (chunky) than usual? Or is it just me? Edited January 4, 2014 by aodqw97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dchil 829 Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting, but I would say that having any kind of item in your second hand while using a pistol will automatically result in a much worse accuracy for the pistol.People can shoot quite well with one hand. Olympic bulls eye target shooting is done with one hand. Case in point.Do you see one person using both hands there? It is possible to be accurate with one hand.

Case in point.Do you see one person using both hands there? It is possible to be accurate with one hand. I believe you missunderstood the concept. Those persons don't have anything on their second hand and are not using it. He meant that accuraccy should reduce when having any kind of item in the second hand, which actually makes sense. I would love to see two hands mechanics. Flashlight + Pistol would be topkop feeling; food and water for faster eating/drinking; crafting and cooking; etc, etc, etc... And I do agree that doors mechanics should be different. Most doors do make a sound when they are being open and this should be added, there is no way a door makes no sound at the speed the doors are opened right now on the game.

rickenbacker 190 Posted January 4, 2014 Should also cause MUCH longer reload,especially while holding two guns. Why would you ever hold two guns? Reloading would be impossible, and you can only aim one at a time anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firstbornchicken 34 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Holding a flashlight can actually help improve accuracy of handguns, if it's the right fit, will help you rest the gun over the secondary hand and make the gun more steady. Commonly taught to law enforcement and military personal, i am a bit surprised no one has mentioned that yet.

floj 393 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Accuracy with a one handed pistol should definitely be affected by WHAT's being held in the other hand - a torch should have minimal impact (Would you still be more accurate using both hands directly?) But holding anything bulky/weighty or opened should definitely be detrimental... imagine if those target shooters were trying not to spill a can of opened beans with their other hand. Wouldn't mind the whole handgun and flashlight combo. Would love for them to make a separate stance/animation for it like this: Torch in daylight? .oO Edited January 4, 2014 by phlOgistOn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
