Removing the ability to sell locked vehicles

[MGT]

Would it be possible to remove the ability to sell locked vehicles at vehicle traders by pulling a custom trade_any_vehicle.sqf from dayz_code using a similar argument to below but for lock?

Also, could find no reference to trade_any_vehicle.sqf in compiles.sqf so I wouldn't know where to call it from.

if(_tireDmg > 0 and _tires > 0) then {
						if((_tireDmg / _tires) > 0.75) then {
							_okToSell = false;
						};
					};

Am assuming people are using tow trucks to pilfer the locked vehicles ?

[jj808]

Doesnt the tow truck require you to drive the vehicle onto the flatbed? How can you steal a car you dont have the key for? If you used the lockpick and were successful then why use a tow truck?

[MGT]

No, we have some that think it funny to hide near the trader and sell the vehicle that someone has just bought!

[axeman]

lol, very inventive. I could see that being annoying.

I thought you could reverse the tow truck under other vehicles, not tried it for a while.

Not sure if it's something that will get included in next update as it's only supposed to be for bug fixes currently.

You can.

Hello MGT, yes it's in the compiles.sqf, please search for the line:

_File = "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\" + _afile + ".sqf";

_afile refers to the "afile" column in your database for the items/vehicles traders.

how would this work tho if you just wanted to do vehicles but no boats,etc

How about just preventing a vehicle being sold if a player is inside it? as you cannot sell a vehicle when another player is nearby.

Testing now: You must be the last person to get into the drivers seat of a vehicle to sell it.

Just got this in for 1.0.3

Nice, but maybe a solution that makes more sense is u can't sell a locked vechicle if u don't have the key for it on your player.

[Polli]

The solution is simple but effective. You need the key to get on the driver seat ;)

 

Is it possible that the key will also be deleted if I sell a vehicle? Could be difficult.

Is there anyway to add this myself to 1.0.2.5 as this isn't called from compiles?

This does make it so you cannot sell a locked vehicle and with this we no longer have to restrict trades when others are within 12m.
