More Alarm Systems

[Chiko]

So we have bubblewrap sheets as sound traps but there could be alarm system options.

Broken Glass Alarm:
-The most simple of all the makeshift alarms. All you need is a number of Glass Shards.
-Should be noisier than Bubblewraps.

Bone Alarm:
-Made by setting up a number of bones in a similar fashion to a jenga tower or a tower of cards.
-Should be noisier than Broken Glass Alarm.

Can Alarm:
-Made by putting pebbles or similar things inside a number of cans and tying them together with a string.
-Should be noisier than Bone Alarm.

Talking Doll Alarm:
-Made by attaching a Talking Doll to a tripwire.
-Should be a bit noisier than Can Alarm.

How about more technologically advanced traps, like a tripwire attached to a radio’s switch, or a pressure pad wired to a noisemaker?

[Chiko]

That one makes sense. We do need more makeshift electronic devices.

A similar one would be to attach a tripwire to a talking doll. Makes for a creepy alarm.

[Mrnocamera]

Or a tripwire attached to a string connected to a shotgun on a chair.

That’s a good sound alarm, and it normally works on everything.

We have shotgun traps already.

[Mrnocamera]

I know. But still, can’t deny the fact it works.

[Chiko]

Not denying them. It makes for a midgame trap, though. The main materials, shotgun and ammo, are not so easily available most of the time and it will probably attract more than your attention.

[StopSignal]

We should have traps that could be placed in doors or windows, intead of having to surround the door with traps.

This too. Specially windows.

How about we somehow hook up a wire to a police siren and lights?

Loud as heck.

[HeadWar]

There are (at least in the Swedish and Danish military forces) “alarm mines”, which are triggered much like a Claymore or other tripwire mine, but with just a small pyrotechnic charge that emits noise and light for a few seconds.

Sounds like they would fit into this general theme.

[FunsizeNinja123]

And yet, we still don’t have claymores.

[John_Candlebury]

Why would you want claymores? They are just mines that for gameplay purposes would only be harder to use. Being directional and requiring confined spaces.

[FunsizeNinja123]

Well it could explode one tile in the direction they were placed in. Or 2.

And have a smaller explosion radius, but be more “pointed” in the direction it was planted.

[AseaHeru]

Shrapnel sent in one way for claymores.

And piss-poor anti-vehicular damage.[quote=“HeadWar, post:11, topic:5651”]There are (at least in the Swedish and Danish military forces) “alarm mines”[/quote]

Since when is that a reason not to include something?

And besides, directional sounds awesome in many situations (Base defence, oh yes…), and “confined spaces” just isn’t true. I would like the ability to command detonate them though, which is how they are mainly used nowadays, since there are international treaties regarding uncontrolled mines.

And piss-poor anti-vehicular damage.

They are extremely effective against “soft” vehicles.

[AseaHeru]

By “And piss-poor anti-vehicular damage.” I meant “Dont make them go BOOM”
