Hi,
I am unsure if this is a bug introduced in 0.15.4 or not, but I think it is;
When the player picks up the vehicle they were in (mines it), on_player_driving_changed_state does not trigger at all.

If he exits the vehicle using the keybinding, it does.

EDIT: Only tested in a singleplayer local game.

It seems to be "broken" in 0.15.3 as well. I can test 0.14 tomorrow.

Perhaps it's not broken at all, and it never did trigger when you picked up your current vehicle.

The driving changed event is not fired in some specific cases like this because the game *must* eject the player from the vehicle and the callbacks could put the player into the vehicle he was just ejected from.
Additionally the event isn't fired when a player logs off either even though he's technically ejected from the vehicle when offline.

It's a limitation of how it has to work to ensure mods don't break normal game behavior.

Alright, thank you! It might be worth mentioning this in the API docs, but it could also just be that it's self-evident to everyone but me, since this "issue" hasn't been raised on the forums before as far as my search could find.
