Parking Cars

[Holiday]

Allow a feature in the 'C' menu of a car to park it, which turns it into a prop so it doesn't despawn. Which then can be undone by which ever method is practical for the server to allow it to be drivable again.

There’s a reason cars despawn, and it’s not just so people don’t steal them. Cars despawn to help with sever performance. Why yes it can be a nuisance to see your car despawn after x amount of time but in all reality I think the vast majority of players would agree that when the sever is at max pop limiting cars sitting out greatly helps with over all performance. On top of that how would you manage people parking cars in the middle of the road and turning them into props….

I think allowing the option to turn an entity into a prop for the time being would limit that reality. It'd be a wonder to code.

i see the vision and kinda like the idea. if its automatic, replacing a 4x constrained entity with a single high res model for like 60 ppl who have a car out might allow for more 'vehicles' that can be out at a time (maybe just not used at a time) 
i just dont know how feasible this is, a lot would need to be hashed out around the idea like if idle vehicles can be stolen, defaced, etc but thats also not my job lmao
