#                                INTRODUCTION:
#                                =============
#
#  This add-on to the 'Super Simple Vehicles System - Enhanced',  allows you to
#  move your vehicle events from one x/y location to another, even after having
#  used the vehicle.
#
#  This script add-on would be a must for anyone  wishing to move the position
#  of a vehicle as the system erases the old event  and replaces it with a new
#  event with a new ID number.  In these cases, the classic SET EVENT LOCATION
#  map call would prove useless.
#
#  To make a call, you need to use the 'key' name  for your vehicle as defined
#  in the VEHICLES array.   Along with that,  you need to supply  both X and Y
#  values to point out where the event is to move, and optionally  a direction
#  based on the 2/4/6/8 directional values.
#
#  That's pretty much it. :)  
#
#
#  NOTE:  Likely compatible with scripts that support diagonal movement.

BUMP
to version 1.1

Well, it wasn't FULLY compatible.

I totally forgot how the vehicle system stored the x/y location of the vehicles in the event you left the map and then returned. This storage feature allowed you to park your car wherever you wished and it wouldn't reset back to where the event first spawned.

So I went and tapped into that storage array and supply the newer data for when this new command is used.... And now, the new version is borne.

Aaaarrrrhhh!!! *Headdesks*

When you board a vehicle, you erase the original event. When you exit the vehicle, a new event is created. So I used the feature that stored vehicle location for the placement for the 'new' event created thus. But when you exit a map and return, the original event returns and in the place you actually exit the vehicle.

*DOH!*

So I had to include a system that ensured that the returned 'original' event also moved according to the placement system.
