Yo everyone, i need help?
Does anyone know how i could create an effective system whereby the player could travel around the game as normal but in a car as well, able to get in and out whenever they want?
As i am creating a game based on Grand Theft Auto

i don't know what every detail would be, but it sounds like you want:
1. A room set up to act as the car, and type "go to car" to get in.
2. A set of changing descriptions to describe the car in motion, and where it(and the player) are.
3. A record of what location(room) the car is in, so when you get out, you can transport the player to that room.
This is the bare bones outline of what you need and how to do it as it seems to me.

Well, Al has an example code in ASL-2?? which is on his website.
I can't remember his address offhand so if you either search the website, or if Al posts, you should be able to get it!

The 'example' on my site is in fact an "include library" for Quest 2.18 or later. The idea is you include on of the two vehile libraries (they are subtly different) set a few parameters and away it goes.
I've not tested this code in Quest 3.0 to be honest, because Q3 allows the vehicle concept to be coded rather more elegantly than was possible in Q2 and I intend to re-write the lib sometime.
