Project Zomboid Driving Cars Mod

This is the offical page for the Driving Cars Mod for Project Zomboid

Description:
This Mod adds vehicles to the game. The vehicle spawn on the ground in roads and parking lot like areas. These cars might be broken or working when spawned. Broken cars can be repaired with the proper tools and ingredients. Every car spawned has a Key inside it. Right click on the car FROM THE INVENTORY MENU to "Search for key" to find the key. This key will only work on the vehicle it was found in and obviously cannot be searched for twice.

Place gas cans in the car and the start it with the key. Then use the ARROW KEYS to drive. Pressing any walk keys will turn off the car. Cars might spawn with gas in them so stop by any broken cars you pass to check for gas!. The car burns gas even when idling, but 1/3 less gas then compated to while moving. Turning on your air conditioner will increase gas usage a fair bit. so remember to turn it off. The heater increases gas usage just ever so slightly. Also how much wieght your carring is factored in. Up to a 50% increase if your car is completely full all 500/500.

The vehicle takes damage from collisions, even collisions with zombies. Though not much damage in the case of zombies. Also Direct hit collisions with zombies will kill zombies. Collisions with non-Zombies at near max speed can cause injury to the driver and damage the vehicle more. Once the vehicle breaks down from collisions, it can no longer be driven but it can be repaired like the other spawned Broken vehicles. Collisions at max speed have a 1/5 chance to instantly break the car and start a fire. And in rare occasions even explode on impact!

Vehicles can store loads of item! and can obviously then be taken with you anywhere! You can even access items in the car while driving. You can shoot range weapons like guns while driving. Honk your horn to immediatly attract all near by zombies!

You are now invulnerable to inuries while driving, you may still lose some HP/receive damage. The vehcile will take the damage for you until it breaks, collisions with zombies also damage the vehicle and will lower your speed based on how many zombies you collided with. Crashing into objects will damage the vehicle based on the speed of the collision.

Controls:
F key to toggle the headlights
End key to toggle the radio
Page up Key to turn on the Heater
Page down key to turn on the air conditioner
Use the "Arrow keys" to drive after starting vehicle (NOT W,A,S and D keys)
Pushing a walk key (W,A,S and D keys) will STOP the driving
HOME key to honk the horn
While Driving you still need to use your mouse to Face the direction you are going if you want to see where you are going

You can change these keys by going to the mod folder, in the case of steam that will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\ somewhere. Then find \Drive Cars\media\lua\client\DriveCars.lua Open it in notepad or notepad++. You will see an URL on near the top of the page, open that in your browser so you can see the key ID/Numbers for the keys you want to set. Then replace your key ID with the defaults you see just below the link. Restart PZ after and done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why can't I right click on the car to search for the key?
Answer: As the description says "Right click on the car from INVENTORY menu"
this is because the car is a Container type item sitting on the map. its the same as if you dropped a backpack on the ground. so when you walk up to it, the inventory menu will show you what is inside the container, then if you click on the ground tile. you will see the container(CAR) in the inventory menu and right click on that.
