Trigger Plates vs. Vehicles

[Siestalavista]

Hello friends. I have problem with the trigger plates. Why they do not be triggered by vehicles? They are triggering by walking but they don't work with the vehicles. Aren't they heavy enough although I was in them? Is this a bug or a new problem that waits to be fixed?

It`s a "feature".
Press manually, or use motion sensors.

It's intended. To use vehicles to trigger something, you need to use motion sensors.
The idea is that trigger plates are for players, and motion sensors are for vehicles.
You can also trigger manually, but it would require you to leave the vehicle before.

Nevertheless, it could have been an alternative option to control.

Probably it's moddable, we just need to see item.xml and check how the pressure plate work. It is possible to add another pressure plate that work with vehicle, or to simulate the one that already exist to understand that, even inside the vehicle, the player will activate it. Or simply allow vehicle to activate it.
