Alarm Clock: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:02, 26 March 2024

This page has been revised for the current stable version (41.78.16).

Help by adding any missing content. [edit]

An alarm clock is an item that displays the time.

Usage

When it is in the player's main inventory, the time of day will be displayed on the HUD at the top right of the screen, the same as a digital watch and classic wrist watch, with additional weight. Similar to the classic wrist watch, the alarm clock will not display how long the player has been alive for in the info tab. An alarm can be set to go off at a specific time by right-clicking it and selecting "Set Alarm". The alarm can be turned on or off.

This is a very effective tool for drawing off zombie hordes. Once the alarm is triggered (lasts for around 10 seconds), zombies move towards it and stop on top of it and disperse once it ends. This device will not prevent zombies from seeing the player, however can be used to lure them to a certain area.

The sound of a triggered alarm will wake up the player if they're sleeping. But be careful, this will also draw nearby zombies.

-== Uses ==
-The alarm clock is a very interesting device. Once placed it will tick for 10 seconds (Default) then emit a ringing sound, drawing in zombies in a 10 meter radius. This is a very effective weapon for drawing off hoards. The "Explosion" Delay can be changed in the player's inventory (Note: Uses seconds as measurement). Be careful though, once the ringer goes off (lasts for around 10 seconds), the zombies will stop standing right on it and disperse again. Also, this device will not prevent the zombies from seeing you but is a way to lure them to a certain area.
