Fallout-Style Grab Feature

Recommended Posts

Looked all over the forum and didn't find anything similar to this, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. If you're familiar with Fallout 3 or New Vegas, you should remember the rather useless, but entertaining grab feature. Just a simple grab and let go function, allowing players to place items as they see fit. So why not have that in DayZ?

 

It shouldn't be too difficult to implement. It's basically the same as the throwing function, but the applied distance variable of the "thrown" item would be set to zero, so it would just drop. Just make it so if the player see's something that he or she wishes to move, they can just empty their hands, press the grab button, and move it as they see fit. Just like in Fallout, this could be applied to bodies as well, allowing players to drag unconscious or dead people in rag doll mode.

 

If it's implemented, then it won't be long before we start finding player-made corpse piles and items hidden in homes.

Wow, I was expecting more "Its already been mentioned a gazillion times, you didn't look hard enough!" Really surprised nobody has made this suggestion before.

Grabbing apples too.

Grabbing materials, or bodies, and throw them in the trunk too :D

+1 good sir! This is a fantastic idea. You could also have it so that any item in your hands could be placed at the crosshair up to 5 feet. Organization of bases could be so much easier, with lots of cans of food in the shelves.
