Indepth Vehicle System(SA)

[Faggala 29]

When finding a vehicle you should have two ways to get in and start it up

Doors- should have to be opened and have an animation so you can't escape from zombies as fast as you can now along with the vehicle being able to take minor damage or zombies breaking into the vehicle with the option of you shooting it or going into some cinematic of kicking or punching it until it's dead or out of the car.

Keys- You have to find the key or it is already in the vehicle, once you have it you can put it in your storage whatever that is or on a keyring if you find one to put any of your other keys on such as a house.

Break in- You need something blunt like a rock or a crowbar to smash the window and get in it, but if it's a newer car theres a chance it could set off an alarm, but if you get in successfully you have to hotwire using something sharp to cut the wire.

Popped Tires- In Real life when you pop a tire the wheel doesn't completely fall off so it's just the rim unless you get into a more extreme accident but for just normal damage to a wheel the tire should just look deflated or popped still with the rubber. Another option I think would be cool is if you ran out of gas or have a popped tire if you have say 3 or more people (Number can be changed) You have one person in the front steering with neutral on and the rest in the back pushing the car to wherever you want it say a bush or inside a garage until they get what's needed to fix it.

Gasoline- Petrol should be depleted from gas stations or other areas after being used to much but then being able to recover after a set amount of time say 5 hours. Along with that if you happen to find some type of hose say a typical garden hose you can use a knife to cut it and use it to siphon gas out of other vehicles but this makes you more vulnerable and receiving fairly small amounts of gas for a desperate ditch effort.

Controlling The Car- I don't know what the standalone's HUD is gonna be like but if you've ever played "Take on Helicopters" You'd know how that with the helicopters you have to specifically click on the buttons to do the whole startup and increasing throttle, etc. If the vehicles in the standalone had it where you had to click in the specific spot to start up a car or to turn on the headlights making it more intense having to startup a car to escape.

Just for Shits/Car Startup- Why not have it if you're being chased by zombies and you get in a car there's a predetermined percentage that you have a failed startup just like in all the horror movies whenever the killers chasing them for some reason they can't startup cars.

Like all of the ideas.

Make key a lotable item from zombies. There should be the label of the car brand on the key and what numer plate it belongs to.

You run around a village and kill some "Zombies" and you find a key to a Honda with the number plate "12398" , so now you have the ability to open that car without problems.

(fine tuning needed)

I like these ideas. Especially fighting zombies that try to hitch-hike.

Hah, nice one.

Well, Rocket said we'll have crafting, so you can try and make copies unless it's a laser key for Maybach, that is.
