Testers Wanted: Ownable Carpool Comm Lot Fix - (Obsolete for Bon Voyage)

[Invisigoth]

This hack works perfectly for me, however I do not have any servos at the moment.  I do like this hack, and hope that you keep updating it, Ste.  Maybe that's because I am lazy and I do not like going through all of the effort of setting up a group outing and then having to disband it once I get to the community lot.  First you have to ask everyone you want to join, then when you get there if you forget to disband the outing the other sims keep trying to follow you around.  I much prefer the "Will so and so be coming?" pop up.

Has anyone tried this with the Community Time Project?

Ok, Ste -- yes, I was confusing this with Monique's 'bring home from work' hack, which I replaced with your version the other day.  So my bad.

I have the latest version of this in the game, and it does have the problem with more than 2 sims going off to the comm lot, regardless of whether one is a servo or not.  I tried it with another household last night that's 2 parents and a kid, and only the kid got the call to go to the car; the other parent never did.

ETA: To prevent a double-post -- is this pretty much obsoleted by BV, since the 'Walk to...' dialog has a nice 'choose who's going with you' dialog?  Or are you planning on incorporating that feature in this for cars?

Hrm... I haven't looked at the Walk to option yet... I suppose it would be nice if you could change it.

I did notice that the BV code for this has been like totally revamped.  It now consists of only 4 lines.  They created two separate BHAVs, one that checks whether a sim can join you (my guess is that it skips babies, toddlers, and pets) and one that imagine now contains the code that actually makes the sim queue up to get into the car.  I didn't look at either of those BHAVs, so it could very well still be borked.  I just quickly slapped an update together so that the hack would at least be compatible with BV.  If I get a chance, I may take a look at the Walk to code and see if I could hax0r that dialog into this carpool stuff.  Thanks for the suggestion.


Ok... it looks like this has been confirmed (not by me) to be obsolete, and thus no longer needed as of BV.  Remove the latest version from your game, as it is no longer needed.  If you have Seasons or older, it probably will still work.
