Building over water

[delta_thames]

So we started building our bases last night over water (a large lake) and everything seemed fine, even after a few restarts. We logged on this morning and our vehicles (cars and heli's) are gone. I have looked in the database and the vehicles are there, but the damage is at 1. Are we not able to build bases over water?

so i guess the vehicles fell through the floor into the water?

thats why they are shown on these coordinates with damage = 1

 

so i guess the date of purchasing/spawning the vehicles and the date of building the floors is doing the same problems like with the helipads here...

do you had the vehicles already before you built the floors over water?

can you try and get a new vehicle from a trader and park it in there and see what happens after restart? (should remain on its position then...)

I'll try that, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I had all of my vehicles prior to building over the water.

Will this not cause an issue when the floors are repaired and the date gets updated? Or was that the point of the LastUpdated field being added to the db with the recent patch?

im not sure... but i use the indestructable building parts mod from cpc on my server... so no need for repairs...

Is that freely available? Where can I find it?

Gagi2 is correct, if you purchase the vehicle AFTER you build the object it should remain there fine.

Yep, this seems to be working. However, after testing it appears that it works as a result of the ObjectID being a higher number and NOT the datestamp being a later date.

Correct, it is objectID, not a last updated date that makes this work.
