My version is a recent-ish experimental so I apologize if something like this is already in.
So, currently you can’t (e)xamine when you’re driving and neither can you examine anything on the vehicle if it is moving but you aren’t driving, which no doubt is there to prevent you from magically knowing how much power you have in the battery and everything else about your car, but this has the really unfortunate side effect of preventing you from picking things up from tiles next to you (or more specifically, things in your car, I can still scoop up a pack of matches while driving.), which is a tad unrealistic, since I can’t grab That Hard To Carry Gun in the seat next to me and shoot it at zombies out the window.
So I propose tweaking it back to act a bit like how it is when you examine a tile with items on it while the vehicle isn’t moving, like so:
[hr]
Select an action
[hr]
e Examine vehicle
g Get items
[hr]
But, if you try to examine the vehicle while driving or etc, it’ll throw up our good old denial message and prevent you from examining it.
And then I can relive the good ole days and shoot zombies without having to carry the weapon before I started.
You can also make it so that I can only pick stuff from a chair so I can’t fish stuff out of my trunk while driving but that sort of stuff comes later.
