Managing Server Transportation Mechanics

Navigating expansive world maps such as Russia, Germany, or Arid can be a time-intensive process for survivors. As an authorized administrator, you possess the technical capability to materialize any vehicle entity - ranging from primitive bicycles and civilian sedans to high-performance military tanks and multi-rotor helicopters - directly to your coordinates. This functionality is essential for facilitating community logistics, performing world troubleshooting, or managing large-scale server events. To use these commands, ensure your identity is authorized within the Admin Registry.

​
The Technical Vehicle Command

Vehicle materialization is executed through the in-game chat interface using a standardized forward-slash delimiter.
  • Standard Syntax: /vehicle <Player>/<VehicleID>
  • Example Execution: /vehicle Vlad/1 (Instantly spawns a Black Offroader at the player “Vlad’s” location).

​
Security & Entity Ownership

By default, every administrative vehicle initializes in an Unlocked state, allowing any participant to interact with the asset.
  • Persistent Locking: Survivors can use a “Stealy Wheely Automobiley” to cryptographically lock a vehicle to their specific SteamID or Faction ID.
  • Administrative Cleanup: If an abandoned vehicle is obstructing a spawn point or causing performance degradation, you can use the /destroy command while aiming at the object to purge the entity from the world database.

​
Physics Engine Stability

The Unturned physics engine can become unstable if a high density of active vehicle entities is concentrated within a single sector (e.g., during a “Car Show” community event).
  • The Risk: Excessive vehicle clusters can trigger server-side “Hitching” and client-side FPS drops.
  • The Fix: We recommend implementing a plugin-based automated despawn policy for vehicles that have remained stationary for over 72 real-world hours to reclaim hardware resources.
