Aliveskan Autopaa

A car dealership mod for My Winter Car built on MSCLoader. It adds a dealership building to the world and a public API so other mods can list cars for sale.

What it does

• Spawns a functional dealership building near highway
• Dealership.RegisterCar() so other mods can list cars for sale.
• Each registered car is placed on a parking spot, made kinematic, and has its ignition FSMs disabled until purchased.
• A window sticker is spawned on the car. Hovering it shows the car name and subtitle.
• On purchase the car is unfrozen, the sticker is removed, and your onPurchase callback fires.

Installation

Requirements

• MSCLoader 1.3.3 or newer

Steps

1. Place Aliveskan_Autopaa.dll in Mods/.
2. Place dealership.unity3d in Mods/Assets/Aliveskan_Autopaa/.
3. Launch the game. The dealership appears automatically when a save is loaded.

Registering a Car

Call Dealership.RegisterCar() from your mod's OnLoad(). The dealership handles placement, sticker spawning, freeze state, and the purchase flow.

private void Mod_OnLoad()
{
    GameObject myCar = GameObject.Find("MYCAR");

    string texPath = Path.Combine(
        ModLoader.GetModAssetsFolder(this), "listing.png");

    Dealership.RegisterCar(
        mod:                  this,
        carID:                "mymod_mycar",
        carName:              "1994 Rivett Coupe",
        subtitleText:         "1994 Rivett Coupe - 45 000 mk",
        price:                45000f,
        listingTexturePath:   texPath,
        carObject:            myCar,
        lotRotation:          Quaternion.Euler(0f, -90f, 0f),
        stickerLocalPosition: new Vector3(0f, 0.6f, 0.42f),
        stickerLocalRotation: Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, 0f),
        stickerScaleX:        0.28f,
        stickerScaleY:        0.28f,
        onPurchase:           OnCarPurchased
    );
}

private void OnCarPurchased(ParkingSpot spot)
{
    Dealership.UnfreezeCarOnPurchase(myCar);
}

Sticker Positioning

The window sticker is parented to your car. You adjust its position, rotation, and scale through the parameters of RegisterCar().

Use a PNG with a transparent background so it blends with the glass, we reccomend Delicious Handrawn Font for custom text.

Freeze and Ignition Lock

The dealership automatically freezes registered cars and locks their ignition on load. You are responsible for calling the unfreeze helper when the player buys the car.

What happens automatically

• When RegisterCar() is called, the car is moved to its spot, set kinematic, and its Starter, Engine, and Ignition PlayMaker FSMs are disabled.
• After all mods finish loading, PostLoadFlush() re-applies the freeze and ignition lock to all unsold registered cars.

What you must do

Call this inside your onPurchase callback:

Dealership.UnfreezeCarOnPurchase(myCar);

Manual helpers

Both helpers can be called at any time outside of the purchase flow:

Dealership.FreezeCarForSale(car);
Dealership.UnfreezeCarOnPurchase(car);

FSMs that are locked

The lock disables every PlayMakerFSM on the car (including children) whose FsmName is one of:

• Starter
• Engine
• Ignition

If your car uses different FSM names for its start logic, disable and re-enable those yourself in addition to calling the helpers.

Purchase Callback

The onPurchase delegate fires the moment a player confirms a purchase. Its signature is:

Action<ParkingSpot> onPurchase

The ParkingSpot argument is the spot the car was on. You can read its WorldPosition or SpotIndex if needed.

private void OnCarPurchased(ParkingSpot spot)
{
    Dealership.UnfreezeCarOnPurchase(myCar);
    GiveKeyToPlayer();
    ModConsole.Log("sold at spot " + spot.SpotIndex);
}

Dealership.RegisterCar

public static DealerListing RegisterCar(
    Mod                 mod,
    string              carID,
    string              carName,
    string              subtitleText,
    float               price,
    string              listingTexturePath,
    GameObject          carObject,
    Quaternion          lotRotation,
    Vector3             stickerLocalPosition,
    Quaternion          stickerLocalRotation,
    float               stickerScaleX,
    float               stickerScaleY,
    Action<ParkingSpot> onPurchase
)

Registers a car for sale at the dealership.

Returns a DealerListing reference, or null if validation failed. Check the MSCLoader console for error messages.

Dealership.FreezeCarForSale

public static void FreezeCarForSale(GameObject car)

Sets isKinematic = true on the car's Rigidbody and disables its Starter, Engine, and Ignition PlayMaker FSMs. Called automatically by RegisterCar() and PostLoadFlush(). Call manually if you need to re-freeze the car at a later point.

Dealership.UnfreezeCarOnPurchase

public static void UnfreezeCarOnPurchase(GameObject car)

Sets isKinematic = false and re-enables the Starter, Engine, and Ignition FSMs. Call this inside your onPurchase callback.

Dealership.GetListings

public static List<DealerListing> GetListings()

Returns all registered DealerListing objects, including sold ones. Use this if you need to read the current inventory from another mod.

DealerListing

Data class representing one car for sale. Returned by RegisterCar().

ParkingSpot

MonoBehaviour attached to each numbered spot transform in the dealership prefab.
