Test drive the car you want to buy.

Good idea. You get in, it gives you a short 2min route just like a driving exam, if you won't go to the destination for 1 minute, car will disappear. Otherwise if you drive through the checkpoints, you finish your test drive and done. BUT you only will be able to test drive it if you have enough money in your bank. 

 

 

If you make a smart system it can't be abused. 

 

 

So, you get a route in the same dimension as other people, you need to have enough money in the bank, if you go off route, car just disappears leaving you where you were, only driver can get in, there is a cooldown for testing cars, max amount of cars you can test is 3,then 1h CD is triggered. Something along these lines

It’s needs alot of work. Not high priority atm anyway..

Nothing is priority now. We need a stable client, that's the priority. It should not be much work since they already have similar system in driving test. I'm sure experienced devs would work it out.

On one hand I want this, on the other hand I too fear it may be abused - or that setting too many scripted limits would ruin immersion. We have to dive into details. Can anyone provide full detail of real life limitations of a test drive?

you usually have someone in the car with you in terms of real life to make sure you're not going to just drive off, other than that i dont think there's many limitations.

Make it something like the driver schools route. A little of the highway, a little of the normal streets etc.. If abused the player should be punished for it.

This would have to be heavily moderated by staff. It is a good idea, but I do see people abusing the system to just drive around like they did with LS-RP's licensing vehicles. There'd have to be a short time limit and a small zone if possible.

Lovely. That means we can set a standard route with check points and despawn the car if you don't reach a check point within a fair time window.

Could make you teleport to a closed off area with a different virtual world just like GTA:SA's driving tests to ensure no abuse is possible.

 

Supporting.

[Lance]

People talk about abusing. As I said, if we make it so you will be able to test drive only if you have enough money in the bank, it could help a lot. So we don't see people test driving expensive vehicles just for the hell of it. Easy solution.
