Vehicle Ignition System

#1 This is already a feature of the vehicle. I did something like this once, but I forgot what the function (or variable) name was. You can do it all in script tough, altough, if I remember correctly, there's a small bug that requires some small engine changes. The bug was when you were driving, and switched of the engine, the thottle wasn't reset to 0. Its an easy fix tough, just add an "if" somewhere in there.

#2 Well if someone could point me in the right direction it would be helpful. I want this for two purposes.

1. Engine on/off allows no radar detection while vehicle is off.

2. I am making a weapon much like the police use to short out an electrical system on a car. What would also be helpful is if someone could tell me how to make a time for this.

#3 I remember discussing this in the mod forum 1 or 2 years ago...can't seem to find the link tough :(

#4 Found, its "disableMove"
So something like:

%vehicle.disableMove=1;

But like i said, if you do this while driving, the throttle is not reset. For this you'll need to add a little bit of code to the engine that resets the throttle to 0 when "disableMove" is true. The disableMove works fine if your car is standing still when you change the variable tough. Another thing is the sound doesn't stop playing... it just makes it impossible to drive the vehicle untill you set "disableMove" to 0 again.

#5 Thanks all. That is just what I was looking for.

#6 Has anyone figured out how to reset the throttle?
