Well I was thinking about reversing the button presses.

 

You hold triangle to jack

 

You tap triangle to ride with

 

I say that because I assume most people will jack on accident way more if its the exact taxi way, creating unnecessary, unwanted confrontations/shenanigans from misunderstood intentions. Really it depends on what people would do most, I think a friendly approach should be default though. Only being able to activate it from the driver door helps in that too.

 

its all good though, hnot too big of a deal, either way though is good as long as the 2 options are there.

It should work like the cabs... Press user posted image to hijack / hold user posted image to get in with your buddy.

Good idea.

 

I do think it should be a server option, though. It might get annoying otherwise on some servers.

Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

I'm inclined to agree.

 

The game itself could add several features by accepting different keystrokes (double tap, long press, etc).

I think it should be like the taxi way, except backwards. Meaning press triangle or Y to get in normally, and hold triangle or y to jack it. That way the controls would be the same, and if you wanted to jack it, you would have to hold it, meaning you have full intentions of stealing it. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally stolen a taxi because I didn't hold it for long enough

You should be able to jack another players car, but only from the driver's side of the car, if you try to enter from the passenger side then you enter as a passenger, that way the driver can see your intentions and has a chance to defend himself.

Good idea.

 

I think holding down triangle to enter as passenger would slow down the action too much.

 

But your way, seems rather good.

Yeah where's the 'optional' option like there is for friendly fire and all those sorts in IV? If it had to be one or the other i'd probably say no coz it'd just get so annoying and tedious. dozingoff.gif

This is a good idea icon14.gif Having the ability to hijack others with friendly fire on. Another one is the hold Triangle or Y button to enter as passenger.

It would get annoying if you got jacked too often.

well then that should say something about your play style or it should say something about you as a person, your trust is too easily gain.

You need to watch out for yourself more and quit being a sucker, and i dont think it will be as hard as you think to tell if someone is about to jack you, obivously if someone comes up to the drivers side they clearly have bad intentions its not like in real life where someone may ask you to roll down the window to talk to you, if someone you dont know comes up to you just drive off its as simple as that it really isnt hard

Lock n' Stock
It would probably make things too complicated, and what happens if someone with no mic (on a console) is honking for you to get in and you accidentally press Y instead of hold it (taxi controls) and jack them? They'd probably shoot you and you'd be pissed. Just leave it alone, if you want the damn car shoot em. Free roam should remain neutral unless otherwise provoked. In this case, I enjoy letting people get in without them jacking me, LOL.

You could just hold Y/Triangle to get in as a passenger like you did in GTA IV with a taxi. As long as a disclaimer comes up reminding the player, it should be no problem.

Nah, I always wanted to be able to Jack people online.

Aslong as there is a way to get in a friends car with them or Jack them and it's "optional" then hell yes I want this.

 

But not many real players will hang around for 30 seconds while you open their door to jack them.

 

I just love jacking off.

Yeah, but most will kill for the car anyway because the average person is a cünt smile.gif

 

but yeah press a bonus button to carjack or something (so you can choose when to carjack and when to stay inside like a good passenger) could become annoying if a friend does it to you while you are going full pelt down the high-way but also funny, the first 5 times.

I vote yeah, it is called grand theft auto after all.

Do you guys think you should be able to jack fellow players in a free roam lobby? GTA IV they didnt have this feature, if a player wanted your car they would have tkill you for it, I found that annoying cuz then I would lose all the crap I collected all over the map. I hope they add the ability to jack your fellow players in GTA V, If your enough of a sucker to drive up to me with a nice car and honk your horn 1000 times to tell me to get in the car with you then you deserved to be jacked my friend. We've all been victims of lethal jackings for our infernus I think its time to introduce a non lethal approach to jacking a fellow player

 

Also if you guys do agree, how would they map this on the controller? I was thinking holding down triangle or Y would be good, what do you think?

It could just be as easy as standing next to the door you want to enter.

It only goes to other doors because the drivers isn't available.

 

So, you want to jack, open the drivers door, if not get in the back or passenger doors.

i'd like that. that's good idea for more interaction with other players.

 

 

if you decide to enter as a passenger the 'press L1 to switch services' thing should pop up to wow.gif

Same as IV, otherwise pussies will just jack your car and drive away without killing you. If you want it, fight for it!

It was in GTA IV. Although it was in GTA Race..

 

It would randomly on free mode GTA IV, my friend would get in the passenger seat next to me and then out of no where he'd punch me in the face and push me out of the car.

 

I've always wanted the feature properly put in so vote yes.

It should be single press to enter as a passenger, hold to steal as it will cause a lot less accidental robberies. If you hold it you know you are going to steal it.
