Add Mock API #758

Open LeonMrBonnie opened 3 years ago

LeonMrBonnie commented 3 years ago

Suggestion

Add a mock API to simulate players and actions etc.

Use cases

Useful for server developers for testing their features without needing other people to help, and also helpful for alt:V devs themselves to stress test sync changes etc.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new API with which you can create a mock player, send events from and to that mock player, make that mock player do actions (shooting, dying, entering a vehicle, etc.) and more

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, there are no real alternatives to this other than just having other real people join your server.

Additional context

N/A

Afaik this was declined because people will abuse the Mock Client for botting.

The mock API should only be allowed with debug mode enabled.

There's no clear definition for what should be mocked and how a solution can be approached. It's not something that will be in our road map anytime soon.
