Mastering 7D2D Transport

Advanced vehicles like the Gyrocopter are indispensable for rapid exploration and the transportation of high-value loot across the wasteland. However, because vehicles are complex entities that interact dynamically with world physics, they require precise management to maintain server stability and prevent data synchronization errors.

Server Vehicle Limits

To maintain optimal performance and prevent potential crashes caused by excessive active entities, you should define a global vehicle limit in your serverconfig.xml.
  • MaxSpawnedVehicles: This parameter determines the total number of placed vehicles that can exist in the world simultaneously.
  • Optimization Strategy: If this limit is reached, players will be unable to deploy new vehicles from their inventory. We recommend a limit based on your active player count (typically 2-3 vehicles per player).

​
Administrative Spawning

If you are a server administrator and need to provide a Gyrocopter or any other vehicle to a player or for testing purposes, follow these steps:
1

Access the Console

Press F1 to open the in-game console and verify that you have the appropriate admin permissions.
2

Enable Developer Menus

Type cm (Creative Menu) and dm (Debug Menu) into the console and press Enter to toggle these features on.
3

Spawn the Vehicle

  • Using the Creative Menu: Press U to open the menu and search for “Gyro”. Drag it into your hotbar.
  • Using the Console Command: Execute the command giveself vehicleGyrocopter to place the item directly into your inventory.

​
Resolving the “Missing Vehicle” Issue

Occasionally, vehicles may disappear or fall through the map geometry due to chunk loading delays or physics glitches.
Execute the console command le (List Entities) to view a complete list of all active vehicles, their unique entity IDs, and their exact world coordinates. This is the fastest way to find a “lost” motorcycle or gyrocopter.
If a vehicle becomes stuck in an inaccessible area or at the 0,0,0 coordinate, you can remove it to reclaim a vehicle slot using the command kill [ID], substituting [ID] with the specific number identified via the le command.

​
Best Practice: Picking Up Vehicles

To prevent data corruption during server restarts or chunk unloads, encourage players to “pick up” their vehicles (hold E and select the “Take” icon) before logging out. This stores the vehicle safely as an item in the player inventory.
