Car Sirens / Noise Traps / B.41

[Ratman]

Hey folks,

currently I am playing on b41 and I wanna clear the town as far as i can by luring the zombies outside of it and then burn them. The current problem is that the car siren, I use to lure zombies out of town, does not stay on when I leave the car standing there(it is hotwired - if that makes a difference). Is there a way to keep the siren going after leaving the car? Or are there any reliable noisetraps which are loud enough and stay active?

Thanks for any advice.

I read somewhere that siren doesnt work if you leave too far.

that could it be, My safehouse is pretty far up in town and i went with the siren to the other side.. So should i report this to bugs or is this on purpose?

Unless you set your Siren Shutoff Hours to a number, A vehicle siren should stay active until its battery dies, or you turn it off. Check the battery to see if it died, could be a bug though. Noise makers are not loud enough for what you want. If you have a gun you could pop off a couple shots where you want some of the zombies to go but more than likely the zombies are just not going to walk all the way to where you shot because it is not a constant noise.

I am playing on apocalypse settings, so i did not change any values on the Siren Shutoff hours. Battery was fine, i had the same thought. The gunshots attracted all zombies in the near vicinity of the siren, but not the ones luring around between the siren and my outpost. Maybe i have to move it a little...

you can try to start a sandbox game with the apocalypse preset and check for siren shutoff time. maybe the default setting is short time

good idea, i will try that

I haven't tried it yet but as far as I know car sirens can be destroyed now by zombies, it was changed recently.

thank you, seems like that's it. Car Sirens get reset when you reload a savefile or a mapchunk - in my case a mapchunk i guess. He already reported it so i'll have to wait.
