Blockland vehicle artists has come out with so many awesome features. Like animatied / hands on steering wheels, flashing lights with the light key pressed, vehicles having functional brake lights, etc. But we all know we want something more.
Of coarse, I could make this suggestion my self (since I make a few types of addons), but whenever I tried to make a vehicle addon, as I go to spawn it, it crashes (Not sure why...).
Most of you are thinking
More vehicles for blockland as a suggestion for blockland, but that's actually not the case on this thread. This is about adding a couple more functions to vehicles.
Which then brings us to the actual suggestion:
Blinkers, and Nitrous Oxide
BlinkersThe reason I'd say blinkers is because it would make a great way of making vehicle city driving and/or city rpg servers have an advantage to car owners of the following I just listed. Besides, if a server like this was up, and there were two cars at an intersection, one of the drivers can pop out their blinkers on the car and go, or wait for the other blockhead to do the same.
Although, they could just communicate to each other and let them know that they can go first, but why not save time of chatting (especially to the people who are slow typers/or really new to the game) and pop those blinkers on?
I'm not sure how it could possibly work, but I know that some of you awesome vehicle scriptwriters would be able to figure it out. One thing that could help is when you press two configured key-binds on your keyboard inside the vehicle, the blinker would go on. Pressing the same key a second time would turn them off. If both was pressed down at the same time, then it could signify that you have hazard lights on. The lights don't need to have a light source, it just needs the light texture that everyone can see.
Take this car for example. The first thing you may notice is the + sign that's at the location of the blinkers. This means where the light texture will be spawned at. It can be an empty mesh (if your a blender user), or whatever you'd use in milkshape 3d (I mainly use blender, not really used to milkshape). For the script to work, [if I'm correct] the script would look for the mesh names. EX: BlinkersFR (FR = Front Right).
Nitrous ModThis is very similar scripting to the blinkers mod I just talked about. The main reason I say this is inspire of the F-18's hornet jet addon having the function to boost whenever you hit the space key. If the car has the addon for the nitrous, then when you hit your custom key-bind, you'll get an extra boost of speed.
To make it more realistic/functional/awesome, A bar can be added to whenever you get in the vehicle. The bar indicates how much nitrous you have. To refill, an item that's known as a "Nitrous Bottle" needs to be scripted in the nitrous add on so you can refill the bar.
That's all I have to say... Hopefully this will catch some eyes of interest and make this happen!
