Player Temperature when Inside a Vehicle

[[email protected] 46]

This may be more of a reminder than a suggestion if the devs have implemented this in their own personal testing version of the game atm; but a reminder that player temperature should be at a healthy normal level when inside a vehicle that has it's engine running; when they are implemented of course. 

 

Any automobile that has an interior that shields it's user from the weather via glass/metal on all sides should make the player effectively immune from weather since we can assume it will have interior heating and/or air conditioning. It's an obvious idea but one that should be implemented none the less imo.

 

You could even let a certain amount of the cold air affect a player inside a car; if one window or more was smashed/ruined for example; but at a much slower pace than if the player was standing outside in the rain. (This also gives the driver a reason to stop)

 

No rain should effect a player inside a vehicle though regardless of any or all windows being ruined imo.

 

Best patch yet btw guys; keep up the amazing work and tweaks please.

Yes, when vehicles are out, they should definitely have vehicles help with temperature. If you could find some way to help heat a broken down vehicle, then that should even protect you from the elements.

I like it but;

Heating yes, airconditioning no. The heat comes from the engine, pretty simple.

Airconditions though are difficult to maintain and require special chemicals and a system with no leaks so it can build up pressure. Usually nothing for a post apcalypse scenario.

Yes but if you're in a t-shirt and shorts sitting underneath a shaded roof with open glass and wind running through you should also be a little cooler than your average joe running in the heat.

Yep im sure they mentioned this a while back. All for it, maybe even tie it into window condition....if they all broken u actually start getting colder faster due to wind chill. Then the more you fix the better it heats you :)

I like it.

 

It should take time to heat a cold vehicle (10 mins or so) and it should provide some kind of shelter ofc.

But if the windows are broken and its windy and rainy outside, it shouldnt do much, if anything.
