Face, perhaps you could add this as a feature?
Something like doing a
}
This would be DZMS-like behaviour, unsold vehicles would still not add to clutter because they are'nt saved to DB.
It's so much fun ambushing the patrol AI for their cars
Something like doing a
if ( DZAI_SellVehicles ) {
_vehicle setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";
_uniqueid = str(round(random 999999));
_vehicle setVariable ["ObjectID", _uniqueid,true];
_vehicle setVariable ["ObjectUID", _uniqueid,true];
_uniqueid = str(round(random 999999));
_vehicle setVariable ["ObjectID", _uniqueid,true];
_vehicle setVariable ["ObjectUID", _uniqueid,true];
} else {
_vehicle setVehicleLock "LOCKED";}
in spawn_functions\spawnVehiclePatrol.sqf and spawn_functions\spawnVehicle_custom.sqf as well as
preventing the patrol car despawn in scripts\DZAI_server_monitor.sqf (line 47...)?This would be DZMS-like behaviour, unsold vehicles would still not add to clutter because they are'nt saved to DB.

- Disabling cleanup for any reason is a problem in itself, you're assuming that 100% of all vehicles will be taken and sold
- Killing the driver and gunner (if there is one) but leaving the cargo units alive will allow players to sneak into the vehicle and drive away without killing all the units. This is a huge problem in itself: the vehicle will remain immune to physics damage, have unlimited fuel/ammo, prevent the AI group from respawning (possibly permanently), and constantly pull the cargo units to the vehicle due to the anti-ditching.
- Destroying the server's economy due to increased supply of vehicles
- If the player(s) who killed off the vehicle AI units decide to leave the vehicle alone, other players that come by won't know this and will assume it's just another random vehicle. If they put in any valuables inside the vehicle and the server goes down, you will have to deal with a load of player frustration. On the other hand, your server will just fill up with abandoned vehicles if nobody decides to take them for whatever reason (for example, destroyed/salvaged tires).
Thank you!
I had only thought of 2 points:
So it would be (remotely) possible to ditch the driver, leave the gunner alive, climb into the vehicle, steer it around the map and let the gunner shoot the other players, being able to run over things without vehicle damage and without having to refuel or rearm and being able to ?
OK, I wouldn't want to encourage that mayhem, too. Better then, to have a 'warranty voided if tinkered with' label!
Again, thanks for your time answering!
BTW:
I like the new vehicle behaviour very much. On purpose or not, often, when engaged/disengaged not all of the passengers board but you're left with a very realistic 'armored vehicle + infantry escort' : foot units walking besides a slowly driving vehicle, only containing driver&gunner.
Also the driver seems to always stay inside instead of leaving the protection of the vehicle which is exactly what I'd expect of a more experienced bunch of human players.
I had only thought of 2 points:
- the economy issue: that is void because the vehicles won't be saved to the database and thus are gone after the next restart. I don't know about other DayZ variants but Epoch seems to need its 4h restart to stay functional.
- players who could mistake the car for a normally spawned one: DZMS handles the problem with a message 'will disappear on restart', displayed when a player gets into the car

Because of all the Problem it brings? That was a good Joke. There are no problems. There are only solutions. That they believe someone is not familiar with the matter ;-) I will soon change it as the player would like
I'll change it so when you get in as driver in the patrol vehicle that it is correctly stored in the database. Is easily possible.

I'm not joking around. If you want to destroy your server economy and fill your server up with spawned vehicles, do it yourself. Don't ask me to do it for you.
