    Thread to discuss my Universal Dummy mod. Link:

    This mod gives you the ability to add crash test dummies or stunt drivers to any car, supporting all vanilla vehicles and theoretically most mods! Additionally it includes a standalone dummy as a prop, and dummy character for walking mode which is an improved version of one of my old mods.
    Warning, some things might be a bit jank, since I initially started this mod over 2 years ago when I had zero experience, I have remade most things from scratch since then but I don't have the time to redo literally everything in it.

    Features:
    • Dummy or Stuntman driver for any car, will work on all vanilla cars, should on most mods too!
    • Car Strength Settings - Copied straight from my other mods, so you can have a rusty or armored car with a dummy.
    • Animated Hands - Dummy will use the steering wheel, there is more angle than in Synsol's Driver and Passengers mod.
    • Front passenger, Back seat passengers - self-explanatory.
    • Seatbelts - will prevent the dummies from falling over and out of the car by attaching them to the interior. Each base game vehicle has its own dedicated seatbelt options that are realistic for this kind of vehicle, additionally there are universal seatbelts available for mod cars that just attach the dummy to the seat.
    • Trunk Load - Only supported for base game vehicles (only the ones where you can fit anything in cargo area), will add cardoard boxes to the trunk. There are sometimes various options per vehicle, you can remove any box, in the Tuning tab you can adjust the weight of each one.
    • License Plate Design - a slot with duplicates of vanilla license plate design options. Also includes 'Uncanny Valley Plate Design' made by my friend Felipe who also worked a lot on this mod, these plates can be seen in almost all of CrashBoomPunk's videos nowadays and on many of my screenshots too.
    • Various skins for the dummy and the stuntman clothes.
    • Changing the Collision Detection mode will make it more likely to fall out of some cars, but will also make it more prone to clipping and getting stuck.
    • You can add some accessories such as a beret, mustache and spike mohawk, more coming later hopefully. You can make it breakable (default option) or not, if yes then you can change the force it takes to break it apart in the Tuning menu, along with the size and weight of the dummy. Obviously the stuntman is never breakable.
    • For the dummy you can also switch from the male to female body model, and remove any body part.
    • For the dummy driver you can select between full head model and an outer model only variant which looks a bit weird but gives better visibility in the driver camera. (Speaking of which, there are cameras for every driver and passenger that follow the head movement!)
    • Armchair dummy, taken from my Mr. Beam mod, merged with this so I don't have duplicated assets between mods.
    • Walking mode dummy, similarly taken from my other mod. Improved significantly, includes the better materials that all the other dummies have, improved stability, and much lower weight so it doesn't reduce the player's jump height. But sitll as janky and weird as ever lol
    • Standalone dummy, with customization and various configurations. Male and female body model, skins, accessories, standing or sitting position, adjustable weight, size and strength!
    • There are ambulance patients in an extra passengers slot when you spawn a vehicle that has an ambulance version.
    • The bus has support for 20 passengers with no lag! I made very simplified physics inspired by the dummies in the Capsule mod, but more complex to allow the movement of arms and legs so it feels more natural.

    No it doesn't, it was being tested by my friend, so you annoying me had no effect on him, only on me. Please don't annoy modders. I also wanted it to be out fast but it had to be tested properly.

    Also for the future please don't spam me with requests. We already have some future plans for this mod, more accessories for the dummies and stuff.

    Nope, the old Stiggy mod still works and it's exactly the same thing. It would only make sense to add if there was a standing variant, but it would require a lot of remodelling to make one and I'm not experienced enough for that.
