Car Lock Pick Gun working or not?
Is the car lock pick gun working in game? When I try to unlock the pickup truck, nothing really happens. It sounds like it's working for maybe 1 second, then stops. No other indicators on how to use it. Any guidance is appreciated.

UPDATE:

I ended up spamming left click and the door eventually unlocked and I was able to steal the truck. I think the Pick gun needs some work or polish as it is not implemented very well at present.

Hi, apart from no indication what to do, what would you change in the minigame?

Well, lockpick guns are designed to vibrate and kick the pins up into their cylinders, but you still need a tension wrench to turn the lock. I have personally not seen a lockpicking gun that does both, and turns at the same time, but that's not to say they don't exist.

Since the gun portion is pretty much automatic, I'd suggest giving the player the extra task of applying the correct tension (balanced tension) to the lock with the tension wrench, while the gun 'automatically' does the rest.
