LHS_Car Lock

LHS_Car Lock

Summary

Adds a shared keypad lock system to vehicles — enter a numeric code to unlock, drive off, and lock back up. Anyone who knows the code can use the vehicle.

Description

This mod adds a keypad-based vehicle lock system inspired by the one used in Highlands.
Each vehicle can be assigned a numeric access code. When locked, players interacting with the vehicle are prompted with a numeric keypad instead of being able to get in directly. Entering the correct code unlocks the vehicle for everyone who knows it — there's no single "owner," so any player with the code can unlock, drive, and re-lock the car.
Features:
Numeric keypad UI for entering vehicle access codes
Codes can be set per-vehicle by the mission maker
Correct code unlocks the vehicle for all players
Incorrect codes trigger a short cooldown to prevent rapid guessing
Lock/unlock state is synced across all clients in multiplayer
Server-authoritative locking to prevent exploits
Use case:
Useful for missions where vehicles should be secured but shareable among a squad or faction — for example, a garrisoned base vehicle that any friendly soldier can access if they know the code, or a high-value vehicle that requires finding/being given the code before it can be used.

LHS JOB PACK - CIVILIAN JOBS & ROLEPLAY SYSTEMS
===============================================================================

OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LHS Job Pack is a civilian vehicle and roleplay expansion for Arma Reforger 
designed to transform static open-world maps into active service economies. 
Built natively for the Enfusion engine, the pack integrates practical work 
vehicles, multiplayer-synchronized interaction systems, and mission-maker 
scaffolding into a single addon framework.


VEHICLE & JOB SYSTEMS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. TAXI (Passenger Transport)
   - Core Mechanics : Synced $2.00/km fare meter, interactive door and 
                      steering animations.
   - Placement      : Ranks, airports, hotels, transit hubs.

2. TOW TRUCK (Roadside Recovery & Impound)
   - Core Mechanics : Vehicle transport, breakdown response, parking 
                      enforcement.
   - Placement      : Mechanic shops, police impounds, highway depots.

3. GARBAGE TRUCK (Sanitation & Public Works)
   - Core Mechanics : Scheduled route collection, garbage bin state logic, 
                      city upkeep.
   - Placement      : Municipal yards, transfer stations, industrial zones.


INTERACTIVE FEATURE BREAKDOWN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* TAXI TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
  - Dynamic Fare Meter: Charges a default rate of $2.00 per kilometer. The meter 
    calculates real vehicle movement and distance traveled rather than 
    pre-determined waypoints, allowing for organic detours and custom passenger 
    destinations.
  - Driver Controls: Operated directly via the vehicle interaction menu. 
    Drivers can start a fare, pause it, reset the counter, or stop it to lock 
    the total at the journey's end.
  - Multiplayer Synchronization: Meter state, traveled distance, and accumulated 
    cost remain continuously synchronized across the driver, passengers, nearby 
    players, and linked server scripts.
  - Visual Rigging: Vehicles feature custom Enfusion animation rigs with 
    functional, moving doors, steering wheels synced to vehicle turning, and 
    animated wheel rotation.

* TOW & ROADSIDE RECOVERY
  - Active Breakdown Response: Provides a practical alternative to despawning or 
    teleporting disabled vehicles. Players respond to vehicle accidents, engine 
    failures, or illegally parked cars.
  - Impound & Repair Workflows: Mechanics and tow operators can physically recover 
    targets and deliver them to designated repair shops, police impounds, or 
    scrapyards.
  - Persistent Economy Support: Designed to work alongside server mods that 
    track persistent vehicle damage, insurance claims, and player-owned 
    towing businesses.

* GARBAGE & SANITATION SERVICES
  - Public Works Gameplay: Enables multi-stop municipal collection routes through 
    residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
  - Route Design Flexibility: Supports custom mission logic where server owners 
    can define bin states (full or empty), establish collection orders, enforce 
    vehicle load capacities, and mandate final disposal points at waste 
    facilities.
  - Environmental Aesthetics: Functions effectively as active player work 
    vehicles, background NPC traffic, or stationary props for industrial and 
    maintenance yards.


SERVER DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Heavy Economy Roleplay: Integrate vehicles into employment systems requiring 
  licenses, job applications, rank structures, company bank accounts, and active 
  radio dispatchers.
- Casual Community Servers: Place vehicles at public garages or community centers 
  for quick-access events, open-world exploration, or low-stakes player 
  interaction.
- Single-Session Missions: Use vehicle prefabs as objective anchors for isolated 
  scenario tasks--such as evacuating civilians via taxi or clearing blocked roads 
  with tow trucks--without requiring persistent database integration.


MISSION-MAKER & TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* WORKBENCH WORKFLOW:
  1. Add LHS Job Pack as a project dependency in the Arma Reforger Workbench.
  2. Place the pre-configured vehicle prefabs directly into world layouts or 
     assign them to custom player spawner menus.
  3. Link vehicle interactions to mission logic using trigger zones, task 
     markers, custom user actions, or Enforce Script logic.

* SERVER PERFORMANCE & ECONOMY INTEGRATION:
  - Event-Driven Logic: Custom scripts expanding on sanitation routes or recovery 
    calls should utilize event-based updates rather than constant frame-by-frame 
    scans to preserve server performance.
  - Banking Hooks: The taxi fare meter acts as an authoritative source of truth. 
    Custom economy systems can read the meter's final value upon trip completion 
    to trigger automated bank transactions between player accounts.


EXPANSION ROADMAP & FUTURE SYSTEMS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Taxi Systems: Planned dispatch management boards, dynamic NPC passenger fares, 
  driver rating mechanics, and automated airport route jobs.
- Recovery Systems: Enhanced physical winch tie-downs, detailed roadside 
  vehicle damage diagnostics, formal impound paperwork, and garage drop-off 
  triggers.
- Sanitation Systems: Dynamic bin-emptying physics, interactive route planning 
  tools, transfer station processing, and public municipal contracts.
- Fleet Extensions: Architecture designed to eventually support delivery vans, 
  transit buses, road-maintenance utility trucks, fuel tankers, and security 
  patrol fleets.


INSTALLATION & SETUP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Subscribe to LHS Job Pack on the Arma Reforger Workshop.
2. Add the addon to your local mod list or server command line config.
3. Include the mod as a dependency in your mission file before placing prefabs.
4. Set clear server guidelines for fare payments, tow callouts, and job-vehicle 
   access to match your community's roleplay standards.
