Fix car tires, and stop random shooting/destroying of cars

[lance]

Hi,

few issues with cars:

1. People often randomly damage and destroy cars. It doesn't seem like it's logged, and often admins don't do anything to stop it. There needs to be something done to stop this from happening. It is so annoying and should be as severe as RDM given the hassle it is to repair, if not more of a hassle than just respawning after being RDM'd.
2. Any time you spawn a car, even if it was previously full health, its tires will be popped. EVERY time, at least for the VIP cars. It is so annoying that it's better off to just walk to your destination. The repair NPC wont even fix the popped tires so you need to fix them on your own, and you cant even buy the tires as a non car mechanic so you need to swap jobs to a car mechanic to fix it, potentially losing your job slot. Really sucks if a job is full and you lose it cause you had to switch off.
3. If your car is destroyed you need to either wait for it to despawn, or push it all the way back to the repair NPC by using a trick with a prop and the precision tool. Or you can become a repair mechanic and do it yourself, or wait for a rare repair mechanic to do it for you. Which is annoying.

All of these reasons combined make cars extremely fucking irritating on this server. A fix needs to occur. It is seriously more annoying than being raided.

Tires don't always come popped its a chance but not 100% chance also the problem with the repair npc can be fixed manually just by returning and spawning your car again may take a couple tries but still works and you can also return your car if its destroyed

Didn't know that trick, thanks. I still feel it should be fixed, isnt vcmod a paid mod? There should be good support for it.

For the return thing, the car needs to be close, and its annoying if it gets destroyed far away from the NPC because you need to push it all the way or just wait.
