autopilot_destination property discussion

[Linver]

Hi again, and wishes again to all dev for the release!
A question, why don't insert autopilot_destination with a sort of autopilot_enabled property under vehicle prototype instead of enable it only in the spidervehicle prototype if inhert vehicle prototype? That would have left more open possibility to modding on vehicles.

Because that's not how any of the game logic works. "vehicle" is an abstract type; you can't create a "vehicle" in game. You can create a Car, a CargoWagon, a Locomotive, but all of those have distinct sets of behavior. You can't apply a generic autopilot system to any of them; it would be specific to each.

Trains already have that. Cars are designed to not be that; use trains. The spider was a brand new thing and so brand new logic was created, implemented, and tested for it.

Make sense, thanks for the answer
