which one was it ? I've been trying to find which exact line it is.

i need some admins to help out with my new server. I already have 2 people. One of which is a close friend but we have the same timezone. my goal is to have enough admins to be able to monitor the server. 24/7 Now of course I wont accept just any person. so follow these guidelines: You either have to donate a minimum of $5 a month so I know you won't just be messing around. Or be a really good scriptor to help with the development of adding a legit admin base to the map. Or if you can help with the forum development that would also be an acceptible way of contributing. 17+ age or older (im 19) but I could make an exception depending on the situation. We already have two admins including myself that are on pacific time so different timezones would be great. Please no Newbies or people with high ping. contact me at [email protected]

Yeah that's actually pretty cool. Zombie yeah. Dead guy in the car... not so much, seems like going the extra mile.

Well I did say you find the keys inside the car when it's a fresh spawn and if you come across it in the forest where you know it belongs to someone then you will have to get it from them. Or hotwire.

Nope me and a fellow survivior were talking about it when our SUV was stolen

but toolboxes are fairly easy to find so i can't say thats a good idea.

i know this idea has already been thought. I just had a better version of it. Cars are an important part to DayZ especially my SUV. So in a real life apocalyptic situations why would you leave your vehicle Unlocked and with the keys inside the vehicle? Which it seems that's the situation with the mod right now where if someones stumbles on a vehicle in the forest that was hidden, they can just hop in and start the engine and drive off with all that time and work you put into it. So here is my suggestion. When you first find a vehicle at a spawn point it should be unlocked. Now, when you seach the gear there will be an item called car keys which go into some sort of inventory slot. Whether it be tools so you'll be limited as to how many you carry, or item slots. You should also be able to lock it so no one can take stuff from the gear. Now if someone were to stumble upon it they would either have to shoot out the windows and unlock it to get to the gear or use a kit. after the guy is in the vehicle he will have to find a hotwiring kit of some sort to start it up. Here's the fun part... Let say you're in the area. You hear or see that person around your car looting it and what not. So you have an encounter. If the guy stealing it somehow kills you and he searches your body and he finds car keys on you. Well then the cycle continues until the car is destroyed and then its at it's spawn point once again with the car keys in the gear. And of course the keys won't be universal so you won't be able to find a crappy skoda, take the keys for it and go to where you know there's an SUV in the wilderness and use them to start it up. So yeah that's about it unless anyone else has some more input or a different version. Personally I believe this way we can balance the car thefts and wilderness wanderers that go looking for peoples bases in hopes of getting a car farely easily.
