Ability to make Remote Drone Car/Vehicle Driving work

Post by Fishbus »

Heya,

I'm making a vehicle that you can only drive remotely, as there is no space for passengers.

allow_passengers = false
allow_remote_driving = true

It seems that while given the option to remote drive the vehicle, it is already considered to have a "driver" despite not having the capability for one.
(See attachment for the current behaviour)

It would be good if those those properties set, allowed for a vehicle (car, train or otherwise) to be driven remotely but cannot be entered.

Cheers!

I've looked and can't seem to find any solution to this... So a little bump for visibility.

I'd say it's a bug if it wasn't used in the base game. It would be nice for robotics to activate this remote ability though. 8-)

That is confusing. I'm not sure why it does that.
