take control!

4saken The 4saken Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,282 Joined: Jan 1, 2008 ok, i have noticed that if you have someone else's character in your you control them, as they are on of your crew. fine. but if the ped hops out they stil do not revert back to their original owner. (i don't know what happens if two player's characters get into and exit a car) so... is it possible to have a way to let people take control of a ped or car without being disconnected? i have a strong interest in this for my Carnival of Chaos events which are intended to have a bit of "hot ped action." i could envision the peds having some kind of option in the manage menu, same for cars (the one that currently offers such useful things as "surrender".) in my wonderful dream-version of this suggestion even someon who did not bring a car (a spectator) could control something. for instance they could effectively enter the event after it started if someone offered a car for them to run, someone who has to leave the game and is running a single-player scout could have someone fill in for them, or in a multiplayer scout where someone leaves and there are just too many cars for the remaining people to leave, and of course my personal favorite, loading one of your peds into my bus so he can later hop out and go pedding around while under your control. easy to code? hard to code? abusable? thoughts? ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted Aug 26, 2008, 11:48 pm

If I understand correctly, you're asking for the server to check for the real owner being connected when a ped first hops out? Makes sense, wouldn't be hard to do either. Edit: you're also asking for a 'pass control of this car or character to this user' command, irrespective of them being the real owner? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 26, 2008, 11:54 pm Last edited Aug 26, 2008, 11:55 pm by *sam*

As it is, whoever grabs it first has it & then can't give it up without leaving the game, I believe...
