LuaSeats - Lua Based Seating Alternative

Replace the buggy and static engine seats with LuaSeats, a seating alternative with loads of customization!
Great for building, posing, RP, or just fun with friends!

• Engine seats have issues with parenting. If you parent to a chair, there's a good chance your game or server will crash.
  
• Engine seats require recompiling models to make new chairs, which can be a slow and annoying process.
  
• Engine seats always cause the view to be local to the seat, which can be an undesirable effect.
  
• Engine seats have an arbitrary pitch deadzone in the center of view.
  
• Engine seats are pretty uncustomizable without looking hacky.
  
• Engine seats typically don't allow for weapons.

• LuaSeats have no issues with parenting. You can parent a LuaSeat all day. You can parent LuaSeats to LuaSeats. The world is your chair.
  
• LuaSeats can be any model, any view position, any sitting position, any animation, any exit position. No need for recompiling models or pose parameter headaches.
  
• LuaSeats can be set to freelook, local to seat, or locked forward separately for first person and third person. You'll be truly free to look in any way you choose.
  
• LuaSeats have no arbitrary deadzone, looking around is just like looking around as normal.
  
• LuaSeats are completely customizable. They accept all models, prop or not, have a bunch of options (including admin options) and can be adjusted with most editing tools.
  
• You can use any weapon in a LuaSeat, provided you have the setting enabled for it.

• Tool presets to save your favourite seats.
  
• Model selection and functions to copy and replace entities in the world with seats.
  
• A wide variety of animation sets to use in the seat. You can use your standard pod pose and sit pose, or be more fancy and use standing, swimming, kneeling, and more.
  
• You can set position offsets for the third person player model, vehicle exit position, and view point position.
  
• You can set angle offsets for the sitting position, to do creative movements like lying down.
  
• Adjust how long it takes for you to sit down. Set to 5 seconds for a nice relaxing sit down, or instant when you have to get into the cockpit fast.
  
• First person and third person view locking settings will allow you to look wherever you want.
  
• Optional world collision for the camera.
  
• Built in ability to use buttons and other useable objects in a seat
  
• Carry weapons with you into seats, or don't, it's your choice.
  
• A user setting to replace default engine chairs with LuaSeats. Don't worry, you can keep your default settings.
  
• Compatibility with most seat-related mods, including Wiremod.
