[Suggestion] Add lock vehicle option from inside the car

Suggestion: Add lock vehicle option from inside the car.

I would like to see this, because it's safer when your driving through zones where a lot of people are. Ofcourse you could just drive off, but if theres a roadbloack and you stand still for a second unwanted people can get in. This would be prevented if the driver (who has the key in this case) has the option to lock the car while he's inside the car. It's also quite realistic that you can lock your car while your in it, so I don't see any problems with this.

What do you think about this?

Interesting idea. One issue I see is that, say you do lock the car while you are driving and then are shot out of it, your body will drop out of the car and then anyone can grab your key from your body? I can't say I have had many people attempt to get in my car while i'm driving it without shooting me out first, either.

 

Perhaps if there was a way to remove keys from a player driving a vehicle before their body died then functionally it might work, although I think it may just become too easy for people to protect their investments by doing this. Part of the vulnerability of having a car is knowing to avoid situations where you might get shot at and lose it.  

 

Funny you should mention about people hopping in the back of other's cars. I do recall one situation on a dark night at Klen where we managed to get one of our teammates in the back of someones parked SUV by lying prone next to it and waiting for them to unlock and drive off. He pulled over a couple of kilometres away to check his map when we ambushed him. Best hijack ever.

I don't mind losing the key if I get shot out of the car, I'm just talking about the ability to lock the car from the inside. Nothing more and nothing less.

This is a good idea. Did anyone implement this on their server?

Thanks
