haven't tried it yet so not sure but would love this as a Admin only tool as well (IE disable normal spawns) For when we get servers ofc

@Flexible Games Oh thanks for the feedback ! gonna remove those useless log I write during coding :)

I have hundreds of these in my log file:
"LOG : Lua f:383010, t:1746592375375> [UNIVERSALDOORKEY] Porte detectee mais KeyId invalide (-1)."
I don't speak french, but I can guess. I haven't found a door key yet, I do have like 5 universal vehicle keys though.

@Quilava i had same idea when i saw this mod, something like lockpicing skill or forging, you need tools to take measurements from lock, a template key and file to make a new key(for cars or houses)
Quilava 6 May @ 8:23am 
May i suggest make the key craftable with certain skill lv require? In case someone have enough bad luck and didnt found any or when you put it in random vehicle and forgot, which is ... my case :sad_seagull:

@Greaska yep, my Dad was a police officer, they do that in case they have to jump quickly into another patrol car and it saves on lost key replacements etc. Now a days they have those special electronic keyfobs but back in the early 2000s and before it was the same key.

@Snek oh ? Didn't knew that !
Snek 5 May @ 3:08pm 
Fun fact, all police cars use the same key. Technically this isn't even far fetched as far as like first responder vehicles.

@German diplomat as the picture yes, but it is right !

Maaan. I forgot my car key today in real life. First I thought that my brother got the key but It was in my jacket's pocket 🤣

@ItzTeho yup sorry, wrong copy paste I made with another mod, is it possible to forgive me about this ? Is your life gonna be okay ?

D'you think I earn any pens with a mod by "surpromoting" it ?

No, just a mistake, everything gonna be okay. I do a lot in mods, not only with my "Greaska" account, sometime that can happen.

WDYM "balanced" dawg there is NOTHING that balances this :spiffo::cherrypie:

@PanMarudaJakub i meant like backwards compatability
Greaska  [author] 3 May @ 7:12am 
@rebel6301 actually no, but I can try later if needed. I'll cook that later on :)
Greaska  [author] 3 May @ 4:20am 
Hehe yes key is quite hard to find, because... king of good item you know ! But if you want to modify the spawn rate, open themod code, and change the distribution file I've wrote to your needs :) !

You cant read title "[B42] - Universal Vehicle Key"?
rebel6301 2 May @ 11:43pm 
does it work for b41?
Quilava 2 May @ 10:26pm 
Holly hell, this key so dam rare to find took me so many day to find one, but it sure is work on every vehicle, Ki5, PapaChad mod all work :cta_emo7:

if there was lock picking vans i think it would be cool if it spawned there.

Ah very nice, a Skeleton Key for vehicles, time to unleash Nocturnal Emissions across Kentucky!

Seriously though, very cool idea!
Greaska  [author] 30 Apr @ 5:00am 
@Quilava, haha that wsa almost the same code as the door one ! Yep, but to get the key gonna require some time I think, I set it really rare hahaha
Quilava 30 Apr @ 4:57am 
Bro work so fast, who let him cook? :angry_seagull::angry_seagull::angry_seagull:

Now im no longer have to grind my butt off to get electric and mechanic to hijack a car anymore :sad_seagull:
