Vehicle Enter/Exit Fix - Smooth Vehicle Entry and Exit Animations (B42)

Vehicle Enter/Exit Fix improves vehicle entry and exit animations in Project Zomboid Build 42.

Some modded vehicle libraries, including KI5's vehicles, can cause a noticeable animation issue: instead of smoothly getting into or out of a vehicle, the character briefly stands before sitting down or completing the transition.

This fix addresses that problem and works with both vanilla and modded vehicles.

Main Features

• Smoother vehicle animations - Fixes the choppy stand-then-sit animation when entering or exiting vehicles.
• Vanilla vehicle support - Works with the standard vehicles included in the game.
• Modded vehicle support - Compatible with KI5 and other modded vehicle libraries.
• Multiplayer support - Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
• Existing save compatibility - Can be added to an ongoing game.

Vehicle Enter/Exit Fix is a lightweight compatibility improvement for players who use custom vehicles and want smoother character animations without changing the vehicles themselves.
