[IV:MP] Cruise Control (V.2)

[Surena]

Dear Argonathians,

I have seen an idea with the same principe back in 2011, but it didn`t get added (Cruise Control).
I want to repost this idea as a reworked version to see if this gets supported or not.

My idea is to add a Cruise Control script so we can drive a specified speed and then press X to set the speed on the Cruise Control and let the speed be constant on that.
It can be quite annoying to press and release W, especially when you play long sessions and drive a lot.

This idea could increase roleplay, aswell as we will have less civillians that will monkey around with high speeds because they are annoyed of pressing and releasing W constantly.

BUT... Here comes the part which makes this idea a tweaked version over the previous idea.

In order to get Cruise Control, you should pay a specified amount of cash, for example: 20.000$ Argonath Dollars, more at the Car Dealerships to order a shiny new car with this ability.
Or if you`ve already bought a car, you can buy Cruise Control from Mechanics (They can buy it from some kind of Dealership or factory for some cheaper and deal it with profit).

The price to order or buy Cruise Control shouldn`t be low, since it`s a luxury feature.

In this regard, we could get more roleplay with Dealerships selling "Cruise Control Ready" vehicles, Mechanics that sell Cruise Control to players owning a car and roleplay the installation of it in my opinion, as we can earn some more cash, and ofcourse... less hurting fingers. 

Feel free to share your thoughts.
Kind regards,

Developer response: This feature cannot be implemented with good enough quality in this current IVMP version.

why would this be needed? I dont see that all that hassle for armelin to add this would make any changes to server rp.

[Zephyr.]

Supported..But Will The Speed Increase if Someone Hit me from Behind?

It could help with Convoys. Although I agree its quite well pointless

It`s not a big need, but it should be cool if added.

The Cruise Control will hold a specified amount of speed, if someone presses X again, presses W, S or gets rammed, then Cruise Control will be automatically disabled.
Its like having Cruise Control enabled while ramming a wall... Yeah. 
Aswell as when someone rams you, then you would rather use /report and then continue driving.

[Nadim Jones]

yea it would be nice, Supported

[gabrielkiriac]

why not add a cruise control for turning too cuz why press buttons

[Surena]

You can make turns while having Cruise Control enabled, the speed stays constant on what you`ve set it earlier. 
It will be only sensitive on W and S, the two buttons that increase/decrease speed.

i was being sarcastic as i see this being pretty pointless

[Endri]

Cool idea , Supported

[Joey]

Not something that's really needed, but it can be a good addition (If the script supports it). I need to drive around the whole city every day so yeah pretty helpful for me  Supported.

Why don't you just get a gamepad with joystick? O.O

Joystick automatically gives you the ability to cruise around at the desired amount of speed

While cruise control would like, what.. hold the speed constant no matter that  there is a wall in front of you or you need to decrease the speed to take a turn D:

how easy will it be to slow down and disable it? Will it be a constant ramming tool and DD and cop chase ultimate evader9000? All falls over category how easy it is to abuse.

Cruise control adds a force only on one direction, can be abused
I have tried what you are explaining so I can safely say...
No.

Time is money, why going outside and spend like €30 for speedcontrol on a server? 
I`m a proud keyboard gamer and that won`t change in a while...

It stops when it touches an object, or you disable it by pressing X, W or S. Don`t think that this will allow a constant speed of 197 to be hold.
It`s just the server trying to hold a constant speed, just like you would do it yourself, but then it will be done for you.

It`s an luxury idea anyway, it`s okay if it doesn`t get added but should be cool.
