[REQ] Handheld geiger counter? : Fallout 3

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:16 pm

I was wondering if somebody knew of a mod that lets you have a handheld geiger counter kind of like the one civil defense used? If not maybe could somebody make one?

That whould take a lot of work. Have you looked at Fallout nexus?

Yeah i didn't see anything, but the thing is i saw a fallout 3 video and they showed the character walking around some ruins over a pile of rubble with a big geiger counter in his hand

Um, what do they look like, anyway? This sounds like a neat idea, but I don't know how it could be done because I don't know what they look like.

Is it similar to the Mez?

But anyway, do you mean a geiger counter like http://wmachemistry.wikispaces.com/file/view/GEIGER_COUNTER.jpg or the other game based ones?

Well, making the model wouldn't be "that" hard(it is after all just a handle with a box attached, the switches wouldn't even have to work), I think the hardest part would be getting the meter to work properly. Also is the Geiger counter supposed to measure you or radiation in the area?

A geiger counter measures the radiation in your area, what your thinking of is the dosimeter, but all that does is measure what the most is you have been exposed too.

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 2:54 pm

yeah, but you pipboya lready got a built in rad meter.

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:08 pm

i know that, but it would be cool to like find one of those in a box somewhere in a bunker, or at moria in megaton, and be able to use it and stuff.

maybe just remove the pipboy rad meter and you have to have the geiger counter in your inventory for rad measering, rad meteres would be very rare.

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 2:54 pm

Well, maybe you would find an old civil defense bunker in the wasteland and when you go there are some survivors and they have supplies and stuff and you can buy one. ( the bunker would be like a control vault )

the rad meter tells you how many rads you have. the geiger counter starts ticking when you are near a radiation source. but the pip-boy already has a geiger counter. i would like to see this made

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:08 am

yeah, that's true. that you dont know how many radiation you have. creepy.

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:29 pm

Well... even though your pip boy has one, i would still like this for those RPers out there and stuff.

» Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:28 pm

really like the idea...great for role-playing. Hope it happens.
