===Limited Zombie Item Usage===

suggest_description=After a long time of carrying unused stuff around, zombies start to remember how to use certain items.

Zombies are introduced a new skill called Item Handling, which enables a limited use of a few items. A drop-down menu and a box stating "Use" are added to user interface, the menu containing only the items that can be operated. Using an item costs 1 AP and the following items are affected:

*GPS = Zombies can now check their GPS coordinates within the game. ''"Clumsily, you take out your GPS unit. The screen reads: [XX, YY]."''
*Radio = Using the radio brings up the normal tuning screen. ''"With a strong grip, you turn the knob to frequency 2X.XX''"
*Mobile Phone = When a zombie's mobile phone beeps, it is now possible to check who sent the message and read the message. Sending text messages is still impossible.

For balance reasons, first-aid kits and revivification syringes are not usable.|

Placed this here for people to see and give their opinions and ideas about the suggestion. I'm not completely sure about the mobile phone mechanics as I'm more of a zombie player, but if there's any greater problems with the phone part just let me know. --[[User:Nob666|Nob666]] 13:16, 28 August 2006 (BST)

Not too bad an idea.  I'd say either make it PART of MoL (my preference since MoL should be more than just "open door") or a skill under it.  It might be easier to just have the buttons appear as if the character were a survivor instead of a drop down menu.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 03:23, 29 August 2006 (BST)

'''Change''' - zombies are clumsy, so give them a 10% chance of destroying anything technological. --[[User:Kaminobob|Kaminobob]] 23:47, 28 September 2006 (BST)

Its got my '''keep'''.[[User:Youronlyfriend|Youronlyfriend]] 05:07, 29 August 2006 (BST)

Ditto. "You mash the keypad with your palm. A message appears". You should be able to send a message though... a random collection of letters to a random contact. "You mash your hand onto the keypad. It beeps" "You have received a new message from Zomblor. It reads "luhrflhadlk". --[[User:Gene Splicer|Gene Splicer]] 21:37, 29 August 2006 (BST)
:I like that! It kind of reminds me of the part in the Dawn of Dead remake where the zombie on the roof of a building oposite the survivors holds up a message board, but there is nothing on it but a smear of blood. [[User:The Mad Axeman|The Mad Axeman]] 11:09, 30 August 2006 (BST)
::That scene was fantastic --[[User:Gene Splicer|Gene Splicer]] 23:21, 1 September 2006 (BST)
No, sorry, but there are some things that zombies just shouldn't be able to do.  --[[User:Kiltric|Kiltric]] 23:44, 29 August 2006 (BST)

I like the GPS one (although I'm sure it's a dupe), I love the mobile phone one (but it's flavour flave - no practical use) and I think the radio one stinks ('cos zombies want brains, but don't have brains).  So, for these three ideas it'd be DUPE, KEEP, KILL. --[[User:Funt Solo|Funt Solo]] 16:37, 1 September 2006 (BST)

'''Kill''' from me- I personally can't stand when zombies get intelligent in the odd films. Next thing, they'll be using guns. They are braindead! '''Braindead''', damnit! --[[User:Karloth vois|Karloth vois]] <sup>[[RR]]</sup> 12:43, 1 October 2006 (BST)
