see behind buildings

It is really a problem when walking behind buildings and you cannot see anything. Especially the two story buildings.

To use a specific example.....

I was standing at X-115 Y-69.
There was a zombie at X-114 Y-69 who was hacking me to pieces. Naturally my character should have seen this zombie.
I could not see the zombie at all. But I was loosing blood like crazy. I finally moved up one square (after killing the zombie that was standing there) then I could see the other one.

They Could make like a Outline of u that shows u behind a object, tho. it ruins roleplaying in some ways. or make a directional camera that u can move to see ur character on different sides. Oo

Sorry but the idea is crap. To much work for the coders with less value.

Folk, can you please think before you post!? Remember please on this board are more than 2500 members registered and we have a big "staff" don´t you think anyone of this people had the same idea?
I say you the sadly truth, nearly all what you will propose will not new because another person proposed it before.
So what will you chose, to nerv the staff with "old" ideas or to wait what will happen?

it could be another problem. if you take the insides or something else if a zombie stoods on them, the zombies disappears. but only visually. but if you make one step you can see him again. and you cannot attack him if he disappeared visually. you have to do the step for killing him.
so, if you cannot see the zombie next time do a step. problem solved ^^.

If a zombie is following you, don't go behind a building. (Unless you think you can get away from it.) I don't think this is really a problem. Just be careful. This does not happen too often.

I'll agree with Fieps.
It isn't like your character is always behind buildings everytime you log in. As I already said, this doesn't happen too much. Never at all for some.

Thanks, I believe that's what happened. Because I did pick up some insides while the zombie was standing on them. Then he just dissapeared and I could not attack him until I moved a step.

Thanks, I'll remember that. I've been playing since January and this is the first time I noticed that.
