Keep Your Distance Trait

Description
How does this mod work?

Adds the negative trait " Keep Your Distance ".

When the trait is equipped, it makes you vulnerable to touching zombies.
Your character will have a weaker immune system and could get infected just by touching a zombie.

Even the slightest direct contact with a zombie could infect you, including pushing them with bare hands.



Don't let them touch you

- Touching a zombie with exposed skin could infect you.
- To push a zombie, use gloves. All gloves guarantee maximum hand protection.
- Wear shoes and socks. Walking barefoot and stepping on a crawler zombie could be fatal.
- Avoid shoulder-to-shoulder contact while escaping.
- Use ranged weapons like baseball bats, or better yet, firearms.
- Protect yourself well. Clothing shields you and prevents infection, but don't rely on it completely.
- Avoid wearing clothing with holes, as holes reduce your protection.



Don't let them harm you

- Even the slightest scratch from a zombie has a 99.9% chance of infecting you.
- You can only be saved if your clothing blocked the attack.



Clothing protects you

This mod implements a clothing protection system. Some garments will protect you more than others, so choose wisely.

Always try to choose clothing that covers the most skin, as it will protect you better.





Be careful when sleeping

Do not sleep in bloody clothes.
There is a chance of getting infected if your clothes are more than 50% bloody. Clean yourself before sleeping or wear something clean.



How do I know if a zombie touched me?

The character will say a phrase related to the area where the zombie touched them.
For example: "I shouldn't have pushed it with my hands."

These phrases do not necessarily imply infection; they simply indicate that you touched a zombie.

When the character says one of these phrases, it won't make noise, so focus on the infection instead.

If the character doesn't say anything, it could be due to two reasons:
- You weren't touched.
- You were touched, but you have 100% protection.



Immunity

There is a suit that makes you 100% immune to touching zombies. You could even sleep in it while it's bloody: the "hazmat suit." However, be careful if it has holes, as it will lose its hermetic seal.

@spawnofdj17 A baseball bat is a weapon with enough distance to stay safe.

But can't you release a temporary version for b41's MP? Because this mod already existed, but for that version.

@ElGranCristianYTOfficial I don't plan to release a version for B41 because B41 will soon be obsolete.
