Description
Tired of fumbling with car doors while the undead horde inches closer?
Say goodbye to the hassle and hello to "Just enter that car"!

This is one allows you to use a hotkey, to safely enter your ride.
In times of hurry and stress, it can be tedious to find the correct spot (green square) to get into your vehicle.
I got several times bitten, just because I could not manage to find the correct spot. But no more!

The default hotkey is CTRL+E.
The hotkey's modifier (CTRL) is configurable as well. It is also possible to remove the binding and deactivate the modifier. But make sure there are no key binding collisions for your hotkey (E) when doing so!
The maximum walking distance to the car (in tiles) is configurable too. See the tab 'Mods' in the settings menu.

Multiplayer support! The mod remembers the vehicle and seat, when you leave your car.
If your friend moves the car in the meanwhile, the correct positions and angles are calculated when you want to enter it. So it feels natural and immersive, since your character always moves to the correct position.

Ideas for the future:
If I have time for it, I would like to add the following features. Feel free to add any suggestions!
-Always move to the nearest non-blocked door, which has a free seat. At the moment, the character simply moves to the door you last used to leave your ride. This is great so far, but can be dangerous when Zeds are nearby or if your friend is sitting on that seat.

I will upgrade the Mod to Build 42 when the Build is in the stable branch. I don't have the time to possibly upgrade the mod multiple times during the beta phase (or maintain multiple build versions).

Build 42 please!

Hey there :) I just updated the mod to version 1.2.0. You are now able to configure the modifier key (CTRL) with any key you like - or deactivate it at all by removing the assignment.

If anyone is playing from a non-windows environment and noticing translation issues in the settings menu, please re-abo the mod in the steam workshop. The reason for this is that steam is not updating the directory names properly if only case specific changes were made. This should be no issue on windows systems, since this OS is not case sensitive.

Hi again, @Gefreiter Günter!
I tried to change the archives by my own with no good results. I had an error when I launched the server.
Maybe I explained bad my suggestion, so here I go again: I would like to use Alt + E combination instead of CTRL + E combination. When I talked about "ALT / SHIFT" I was saying the possibility to use "SHIFT" or "ALT" modifier instead of "CTRL" modifier, in combination with "E" keybind obviously.

That's all. I will wait patiently if you can update your wonderful mod ;)

Anyway thank you all for your kind comments :) I really appreciate that

@Cuyl I switched my OS to Linux and have to setup my development environment again. I don't know, if the ALT+SHIFT combo will work, but at least switching from CTRL to ALT should be easy to implement. Would ALT+E be also okay?

If you want to tinker yourself, you have to change "isKeyDown(Keyboard.KEY_LCONTROL)" in file JustEnterThatCar_Events.lua:107 (line 107) to the appropriate value. Since my development environment is not setup, I dont know, which is the correct value for ALT. Maybe Keyboard.LALT, but thats only guessed.

I am looking forward to implement the switch from CTRL to another key soon, but I can not promise, that the ALT+SHIFT combo will work.

@TheVilonius15 I decided not to implement the auto switch feature, since all the cases when you want the character to switch the seat and when not, are to much to consider.

Think if you enter the car from the passenger side and the mod let you automatically switch to the driver seat. But the window from the driver seat is broken and you got bitten through the window. Then the mod actually killed you. I think, it should always be a player action whether or not to switch the seat.

Or in multiplayer, when you only want to enter the passenger seat, since your buddy will enter the car soon and wants to drive. Then you would have to manually move back to the passenger seat, which would be annoying.

You can use a hotkey (i believe it was Y) to switch the seat easily.
