Custom Starting Vehicle Trait

Description
This mod lets you start the game with a vehicle of your choice, using a new trait and the sandbox options.

Monkey's Start Scenario - Base is recommended, but not strictly required, for the suitable spawn points and the additional profession & trait to help you take care of your vehicle. Pillow's Random Spawns Variations - Knox County Hitchhikers works as well, but not every spawn point is outside. There is also my mod, Outside Spawn Points & Insertions, which is meant to work with this trait.

Mod Details
  • You need to spawn outside, otherwise the vehicle and key will not spawn (this is by design)
  • The vehicle will spawn somewhere next to your character (randomly in a circle of 24 positions)
  • It always spawns with a full tank of gas and in a good working state (unless you set the general condition of vehicles to be quite low)
  • Multiplayer: the vehicle key will spawn at your feet instead of your inventory (the server and client are picky brats)
  • You can look at this discussion for a list of vehicle types you can spawn.

Compatibility
  • Compatible with any mod that does not interfere with spawning the vehicle
  • Multiplayer compatible (tested on locally hosted server)
  • Not save-game compatible (requires a new game, every time)

Credits
Monkey - for the awesome Vehicle Nomad mods. I used them as an inspiration and reference point while writing this mod.
UdderlyEvelyn, Aiteron, Chuckleberry Finn, Nippytime, & the Project Zomboid Discord server - for helping me figure out how to add multiplayer support. These people are awesome.
SamInAHat - for compiling a list of vehicles available for spawning. It is time-consuming work!

Recommended Mods
Insurgent - Airdropped LUV Add-on - does the same thing as this mod but tailored for Insurgent.
Parachuting Start - spawns you parachuting from the sky.

They both spawn vehicles and use the same code. They do not have good compatibility.

I do not think so. They should not be used together, so pick one trait or the other. The traits currently don't work when you respawn, they require a new game.

i'm using "Outside Spawn Points & Insertions" as spawn location

Another questions, is this mod working fine with your "Insurgent - Airdropped LUV Add-on" ?
First tried as insurgent, pick airdropped LUV trait, key and vehicle spawned nearby. Second and third tried, pick random occupations and car trait, no key or vehicle when spawn.

I'm testing in MP, setting in sandbox for both mods is same, vehicle type blank, min 100% max 100%, surprise me.
