On the Door

Description
In Build 42, keys no longer spawn on doors. However, the logic for obtaining keys from doors remains intact. Therefore, this mod has been updated to be compatible with Build 42 in case door key spawning is reintroduced in the future. It's difficult to check the implementation frequently, so if you can confirm that spawn on the door have been restored with this mod for B42, please let me know!

Overview & Features :
Car keys spawn in the ignition, glove box, buildings near the vehicle, on the ground, and on zombies, but there is also a low probability that they will spawn on the "vehicle door". However, when it spawns on a vehicle door, there is no way to confirm that it has spawned, and it seems that the key can only be retreived under certain conditions.

Therefore, this mod will add the feature to automatically retrieve the keys from the door and notify the player with a message when the player attempts to enter a vehicle whose keys are spawned on the door, regardless of the conditions.
Confirmed to work with Build 41/42 and also work on MP.

Q&A :
  • What is the probability of a key spawning on a vehicle door?
    It is 1/4 probability compared to the spawn to the glove box. Of course, spawning keys on the door is not a feature of this mod, but of vanilla. This mod only reteives keys that have already spawn on the door.

  • Is it possible to retrieve the key from the door without using this mod?
    Yes, it's possible. If a key is spawned on the door, it can be retrieved when trying to enter through a locked door. However, there is no notification, and the key is only silently added to your inventory.

  • Do I need to try entering through every door to retrieve the key from the door?
    No, as long as the key is spawned on the door of that car, the key can be retrieved by entering through any door.

  • Does it work even if it's enabled in the middle of the save data? Or do I need a new game?
    This mod makes it easier to get keys spawned on doors, rather than having them spawned on doors. Therefore, a new game is not required.

Options :
These options are available with Mod Options in B41.
  • Finding Message Notification : Can specify whether to enable or disable.
  • Sound Volume (Found) : You can adjust the sound volume when you find the key on the door.

Known Issues :
  • Nothing

Future plans :
  • Bug fix (if it exists)

Release Notes :
  • v1.5 - Compatible with Build 42.
  • v1.4 - Added Sound Options.
  • v1.3 - Added ranslation (ES).
  • v1.2 - Added sound effect file for replacement.
  • v1.1 - Added ranslation (KO, PTBR, TH).
    Please refer to "Change Notes" for the older history.

I've been testing out the bandits week one mod, so locked doors are kinda everywhere unless i find keys on the floor, but when I get bored with it ill start testing car keys with this mod

Could you move the key symbold that appears over the character when standing next to a unlocked vehicle just a little bit further up? You can't see the first half of the progress bar on interactions. It's especially annoying when you're looking to fill a massive gas tank and you have no clue how far the progress got until it reaches half. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, the key no longer spawns on the door in B42, but let's hope that spec is restored in the future.

@VVentos

please add Turkish Translation on Discoussions. For B41, Encode must ANSI. For B42, Encode must be UTF-08

中文翻译 这个MOD应该是用于当你拥有某一辆车的钥匙的时候,你靠近那个牌子的车小人头上会自动显示你能开这辆车:steamthumbsup:

You are welcome, same to you! :)

@PROPERT
Haha, I simply wanted to reduce the hassle of my play! ;D

@Quilava
It appears that B42 has removed the process of keys spawn up on the door from an implementation standpoint. If you continue with this mod and receive a message stating that you have recovered the key from the door, please let us know as this is good news!

@Jack Kenseng
The key spawn to on the door is gone with B42, but it's a very realistic situation and I would love to see it restored and also implement notifications in vanilla!

I hope that search mode points out the keys then. I had no idea this was a thing wtf. My 600 hours in shambles.
