QoL change for Vehicles

Post by Fantal »

he folks,
could we get a QoL change for vehicles like the mod VehicleSnap?
It´s really a pain to drive straight after a turn and when ur trunk is full u can't just put it on ground for straight driving.
I mean yeah there's a mod but i want to play it mod free for the achievements so that would be great and i think most of the people use this mod anyways
thx

Maybe you could hold shift or something and it would lock you to the 8 directions.

Implemented in Version: 2.0.46
- Cars and tanks will automatically snap to one of the 8 major directions if within a few degrees.
The snap angle is small and it will still require some skill to drive straight.

Additionally added a new way to drive:
- Added heading car driving option for keyboard input method. Pressing in a direction will make vehicles automatically turn and accelerate to that side of the screen.

Related Idea for the second part.

THANK YOU!! This brings “muscle memory parity” for the character/Spider/every other Platformer 2D game’s WASD controls to the Car (and Tank?). Looking forward to trying it out.
