Switching visibility of players in non-collision zone

[whiskeyo]

Suggestion Name: Switching visibility of players in non-collision zone

 

Suggestion Description: After entering non-collision zone like delivery area, truck service, ports etc. you're able to turn off visibility of other players' trucks and trailers.
 

Any example images: Don't have any
 

Why should it be added?: A lot of players stay idle in these zones, turning off visibility of their trucks will help us in e.g. parking in crowded areas and allow us to see stuff in mirrors, it will also reduce lags and hold FPS on one level for all the time.

 

EDIT (after community feedback): Models should be transparent, not completely invisible.

[Aragon]

I'd rather make it so they are transparent rather than completely invisible. Then you wouldn't accidentally troll the edge of the non collisions area or drive into someone you can't see when they're leaving and create flying trucks.

[FirestarteR93]

It sounds good, but a question came in my mind: Is that possible?

[deco13]

Many players would use this trick to push or block who comes in or out from the no collision zone.

[whiskeyo]

I wrote switchable, you'd be able to turn it on and off, so trolls won't have any possibility to block entrances while being invisible.

[Zyder]

Sounds good. Same as Aragon, I would make them transparent, not invisible, just so you can see a faint outline of the players truck. But yeh, great idea, hope this goes forward to Development

Regards.

What about if you have a trailer and someone is blocking the inside of the service lets say and you go out bearing in mind you cant see them and BOOM rip Reno

As long as it's optional then I don't see why not.

(maybe with a transparency slider, because when parking your trailer this could be really useful).

[Gorkal1ty]

^ I´m with Earleys about the Transparency slider. Anyway, I dont wanna see places empty and even more dead than now, but as long as it´s switchable and I´m able to take them out just for parking, then it´s ok.

 

However, I would like to see my suggestion about collissions accepted to make players respect and make places alive, instead of wasting dev-work-time in making trucks dissapear in companies... just my opinion.

[Positivetrucking168]

I feel that it's good for new players because as you know autoparking is a no in MP so this suggestion if implemented it makes the visibility of other players feel transparent. I feel that it should be an option in TAB menu then clicking on settings. 

[David E.]

This would be great, definitelly agree.

I see this very, very, very necessary, an alternative to your suggestion is that I think it must be applied in areas with too much traffic. In summary, I fully support this suggestion, it contributes greatly to server optimization.

[Azuly]

I agree that it should be translucent and not totally transparent. It would be a bit dangerous to leave the company you are at if you can't see who's around you. But honestly I don't really see why, it doesn't bother me personally to have the players opaque. 

[Niuro]

Mate, I see a problem just there - how do you tell when you are exiting alone or there is no one going out when you try to enter? That's a good one. Think before you write as a masochist ban lover. I have nothing more to say.
A big fat NO from me.

[Captain_Bow]

yes please just make it transparent or flashing

I really like your idea, in big cities in the Garages you can not even breathe, like the one in Duisburg or even Hamburg, not to mention the Kirkenes mine (ProMods), it is very good but I see a defect, when leaving, they would have to implement a system where you get closer to the collision zone, for example the road the vehicle is more visible, since it would be an absolute danger.

I support the idea!

You can't see if someone wants to go up / if you want to go out yourself.

I think we need to switch a turn on mode of  visibilyty like ghost, when u ride in the road, and some of the convoy peoples hit you when u try to go further than nex to them, yesterday in my 2. day of game last one convoy man used 2 lines to get crashed behing him, and i cant do nothing bc he used all brakes so fastly, and he caused me 100% damage. Whats your oppinion about this?

[2 T E R A B Y T E S]

Players that are spawning in should have a parking box like square appear around them whilst they are in ghost mode to warn player that if the enter this area around the truck they may collide

[tfmpillow]

This won't really work as intended, as people would be able to exit a NCZ while being invisible. This would lead to people suddenly appearing down the road, resulting in bad situations.

 

Rejected.
