Well it cant because its used to set off the alarm when your car is moved.. But because of the way I have programmed it it shows the speed for which ever driver you are watching... (Yea I was lazy on doing it )

Once I re-program the speed calculation from InSim, It will no longer go off if you watch another player

Thanks,
-David

Suggestion: Make more realistic? Most of the cars with alarm my family owns have 1 beep for arm, 2 beep disarm... maybe make it stop beeping after a few minutes? If it keeps beeping thats crazy...

Added to the ToDo List: Both suggestions have been mentioned to me before but I just forgot about them... So I created a ToDo list on the 1st post so when a suggestion is made I can add it to the list so I wont forget

Current To Do List: (BLUE = Fixed/Added || RED = Still to be done )
Fix Speed Bug: Speed used to set of the alarm is the current viewed driver's speed... So if you park up, set your alarm and then spectate another driver your alarm will start to go off
Make More Realistic: Alarm Sound- 1 beep on, 2 beep off
Automatic Disable Timer: Disable the alarm after a set amount of time (wont go on forever)
Custom /me Messages: Make your own /me messages when Enabling/Disabling the alarm





EDIT:
Major Bug Fix Coming Soon!!
Fix Speed Bug: I have managed to fix this bug and will be adding the above features tomorrow afternoon (its 3am, by the time I wake up it'll be noon :tilt

Thanks for all the support and just simply liking this addon

I was going to point that out, good thing I'm not the only one that noticed.

Please, if you are going to implent this, make it optional. I have this application to see if someone hit me (light nudges, etc.) when i go AFK for a few minutes, for example. So, if it will be turning off by itself, there wont be point for me anymore.

Everything I add will be optional On/Off
I know that not everyone wants the same.. I think for the automatic timer I'll add another slider or somesort of multichoice control with ranges say from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes and then a value for Unlimited

That's great, cheers mate.

Btw, one more suggestion. It would be good if when you turned the alarm on, you could also make it so it would say something you would want to. I dont mean just making whatever echo you wanted, but totaly own message. For example for me who have some scripts for player profiles, i could make it to do "//AFK" (AFK=name of a player profile, which is used when i am AFK) when i turn the alarm on, so my nickname would change to "TheZero[AFK]". I hope that you got what i mean, becouse i am not too good in English.

Anyway, i dont know if it is doable. If you like the idea, feel free to add it thought, i would love it.

I would say that could be possible to add
I'll be doing some programming later on this and hopefully add all the current suggestions for either a 1.3.x or update to 1.4.. but since 1.3 was only released yesterday it might be early to go 1.4

-David

Yeah, there is no hurry at all mate. Take your time, you are doing a great job.

Hey Guys!

I know V1.3 was only released yesterday but I only released it because I though I had no time to work on this for some days...
My plans for the next few days was changed and now I have some spare time I thought I'd add the features you guys asked for

As you can already see by the preview image ^above^.. I have totally redone the Inteface for this... Makes it look much better and IMO its easier to see what does what etc

Added In 1.4:
Fixed Speed Bug: You can now set your alarm and spec some other players without your alarm going off
More Realistic: As suggested by a few people, To make the program do 1 beep to activate.. And 2 beeps to Deactivate
Custom Messages: You can no use your own Enable/Disable messages
Automatic Disable Timer: I have added an optional feature to automatically Disable your alarm after it has been going off for a set amount of time... Adjustable from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes

ToDo:
Nothing
Post your suggestions for other additions

Download HERE or on 1st Post!!

change the button to lock the car?

Is that a suggestion?? Or are you asking if I have changed it??

From what I believe its a suggestion
To be honest I havent actually thought about adding the activation key even thought it would be pretty obvious
I'll make a small update tomorrow that lets you change the activation keys

-David

good addon

but just, you say it double bleebs when activating, and single when de-activating? for me it is exactly the other way i hear 1 beeb on activate, 2 on de-activate

edit: sorry was to lazy reading page 2

haha, yeh I didnt have time to fully update the 1st post
Today when I update for 1.4 (again) with the changing activation keys, I'll most likely rewrite the 1st post as I think V1.4 will be for sometime, Unless I get some suggestions for it

-David

Nice!

One question thought... Will the alarm go off if i turn it on and minimize my game? I mean will it activate it someone hits me or does game needs to be maximized all the time?

Thanks!
Yea unfortunatly because of the way the program works you need to have LFS on the top, may it be fullscreen or windowed...
In V1.4 I added a feature to stop the key sending if LFS is not the top window.. It just messes thing up if the alarm is activated and LFS is not the top window


UPDATE: V1.4.1 Now on the 1st post!!
Customizable Activation Keys!!: Now you can change what keys you use to activate
You can choose between CTRL + ALT + A-Z or CTRL + A-Z or ALT + A-Z

another improvement, if someone presses T it turns off? its anoying when u type something it keeps giving Q
can u make that ?

ah yes this bugs me too :P thats the one thing i hope gets fixed
also when lfs is not the top window, the space button stull gets pressed

See download on 1st post

Added Chat Stop Feature:
T = Disable (to chat )
Enter = Enable (sent chat )

Pressing 't' while alarm is set (but not going) will stop the pressing keys untill you press 'Enter'
Pressing 't' while the alarm is going off, will stop the alarm and then continue when you press 'Enter'

Good job David!

David! You are my the best add's programmer for LFS :P
My alarm version is ...

Very good job

Quote from davidtiger :

car horn key: well that pretty obvious, your lfs horn key
car horn key: again pretty obvious, your lfs handbrake key

Automatic Disable Timer: I have added an optional feature to automatically Disable your alarm after it has been going off for a set amount of time... Adjustable from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes


I found a bug with this... while im cruising every X min. it will just say that ive disabled my alarm without me even turning it on.

When i am parked and spectating people my alarm will go off if my wheel is turning left and right, as in using spectator cam, can we make the minimum speed that the alarm goes off, optional?

Or perhaps set the trigger speed to 1 or 2 mph?
