Well, its impossible? For now at least.

plz be possible

Its not currently possible with the game's current code, however Nelson could integrate the pathfinding that zombies use and make that a bit better, and integrate teams so that you cant harm them. something to think about.

well u could use the zombie and ais together to engage with the player and give quests and help the player and send ur team on a quest

nope not in the games code

maby maby not the could add it and i think that more maps need quests and npc's what do you guys think???

tbh i do like this idea, but it would be alot of work, maybe too much work for nelson

I honestly love the idea, but I'm not sure how much of a work load it would be. And if it were integrated, I would like 4 options ( In a sense you are like their leader.) Guard, Patrol, Follow Me, Attack. ( Possible a cease-fire option aswell. )

Obvious commands.

dats what i was thinking and there could be other teams of ai and traitors also you could set up a small base with them working there

Dude, that would be awesome, and if anything I'm sure that it would be a hassle for custom building ( regular building, but honestly I'm not sure.) But if they can't custom build, or they can but it isn't very good. I would be fine with them simply being able to build a 1x1 storage building, or a small tower ( fixed.) ( But also, after re-reading this I'm sure you can just make the base yourself, if it really came down to it.) Although I still think it would be cool if there was a "Settle" command, in which the survivors selected would be able to settle in a town, in a sense "conquer" it. Aswell, although I doubt that this even really means too much, I think that this option of game play should have a way to disable it. I don't think we want this to become too much like "Terraria." Kinda of like how some servers disable zombies for better gameplay.

Imagine having player like npcs around. Like traveling traders and bandits. Traders would walk across roads and go through cities and if zombies attack they would have a random gun not including rocket launchers or heavy military gear. Bandits spawn randomly in forests and have low to normal gear such as civilian to low military firearms and civilian clothing. If they spot a base bigger than 2 x 2 wood floor they would shoot the base and try to break in from anyway possible. If they complete their task they will take any low level gear you have food,water,civilian grade guns. If they fail they will run off into the woods and despawn. Also something else that has a chance of spawning is just a group of bandits. They will attack the same as one but they can do small amounts of damage to wooden buildings they will attack for about 60 seconds before leaving and despawning. Something else that can spawn on maps with coalition, coalition troops can spawn and either attack or help you depending on reputation. They will also set up small camps along the way. They will spawn with low caliber military guns. They will fight bandits and anyone with a low enough reputation. Civilians can be found too. You can either take them back to your base and the will be able to guard,scavage, and follow you around. If they are taken to bandits (You will have to have low enough reputation) They will either be killed or become another bandit. Same goes for coalition (If you have high enough reputation).

It's just a really big idea that I hope could be put in the game.

Sounds cool, it really integrates the ideas of the games that already are in the game, but reinvented and are more interactive. But honestly I do believe reading this reminds me of RP servers, just more gameplay relevent. Sorry to rain of the parade. But as a Workshop item, this would be absolutely awesome.

thanks for comenting on my idea hoppfuly someone could creat it or some one could help me make it also there should be randomly spawned base's that spawn randomly you could also only find up to ten bases per island/regon and city sound good???
