I haven't seen much information about this idea/direction toward Vehicles; just a few mentions here and there, so I was hoping to refresh it with the community here perhaps? Maybe someone can point me in the right direction; or do some joint-work with on it...
We're looking for a 'virtual' garage really. A simple building that we can place in our 'bases' that players would walk up to and scroll-wheel access a "Garage" menu and then it would spawn in a Vehicle that they owned.
In theory; it seems simple enough to do... like I was considering a look into FF's wardrobe functions as a starting point personally... (but you guys know my rep for this stuff is generally weak, lol)
The script would only work on the one particular 'building' (Garage) - Player scroll-wheels on the building -> Select 'My Garage' and then gets a list of vehicle(s) they own -> Click on the vehicle and it spawns it outside the Garage.
Now, I know there's some tools out there (like BlurGaming's Anit-Hacks) that allow you to instantly spawn in a vehicle; but the downside is that it never talks/touches the DB so it's not possible to save it after a restart. So, my thoughts on that:
-Most likely a new DB Table so you could store everyone's Vehicle by UID to the player. (This is generally for the pull-down list of the vehicles/models they own)
- Would use the same principle and just have something 'spawned in' when you pull it from your Garage. (No Damage/Full Gas each time)
- If the vehicle isn't "Returned/Stored" back into the Garage before a restart then it's removed from their Garage completely and lost. (Player loses vehicle / delete data from private_vehicle DB) Or, perhaps it writes that information into the instance_vehicle Table and removes it from the private_vehicle table (ownership) so that the car is respawned into the world for anyone to 'claim/take' after the reboot (the only issue I see with that is getting loc where it is in the world).
That's the general gist of it I suppose and would love to work/assist with someone on it if they think they could help out. Maybe it's already been proposed and shot-down due to something I'm not seeing... but either way, like usual, I'd appreciate any insight/information on this!
Thanks all!
