You Can Walk Now... Apparently
Because apparently driving the truck wasn’t enough.
I’ve been working on a small walking plugin for ETS2 that lets you leave the cab and actually move around on foot.
Under the hood, the plugin continuously detects the surface beneath the player and automatically adjusts the camera height to match the terrain. It also adds a subtle head-bob effect while walking and plays footstep sounds to make movement feel a bit less like a floating camera.
So now you can finally:
• get out and kick the tyre to check if it’s still inflated
• walk around the truck pretending to do a proper inspection
• admire your trailer from angles nobody asked for
• or, if you’re feeling especially ambitious, start carrying the cargo to the customer by hand
The video attached shows the current walking mode in action.
It’s still experimental, but the basic mechanics are already working surprisingly well — and I’ve got a few ideas for where this could go next.

Hey, I was working on the same type of plugin! How did you manage to detect the surface and handle the collision system ? Right now I'm working on a full system that would let the player use a human or NPC skin outside of the truck, for a future RP server. To do this, I'm trying to duplicate an invisible truck and assign it a different skin.
@Gelex, amazing work on Can Walk! Finally, a modder who actually listens to the community! The exit through the door is a little off-center. It would be great if it could be aligned directly in front of the door, where the stairs go down. Also, would it be possible to add snow footsteps sounds when walking on snow? That would be absolutely awesome! Can’t wait for the release!!! Thanks again for all your hard work!! Best regards, FuRaX
I’m not sure how your plugin works, but here’s a quick suggestion. In the video, hopping in and out of the truck happens instantly, which looks a bit abrupt. You could use a common game trick: play a truck door sound effect and do a quick fade-to-black transition to simulate the action of getting in and out.
Yes, that’s a really good idea and it may well make it into the final version.
This is absolutely amazing! Finally, someone is thinking like a player.... SCS could take a cue from you!! And I hope that's what happens😉😉😉 Thank you—The Players😎😎
Looking forward to this mod—love the admin!

How do u get out of the cabin
Normally, you can enable the game’s free camera mode by pressing 0. What I added on top of that is a script that constantly measures the distance to the ground, handles collisions with the world, and adds a walking mode with simulated movement and footstep sounds.
When is this available any idea?
For testing, I built the walking system as a completely separate plugin so I wouldn’t mess up the Rest Anywhere codebase while experimenting with it. If everything works properly, I’ll need a few more days to integrate it into the main plugin. There are still a few things I need to work on before that happens: • improve the collision system • remove the current limit on how far you can walk away from the truck • automatically hide the driver model when entering walking mode So for now, it’s still very much a test build — but if the next round of testing goes well, walking mode should eventually become part of Rest Anywhere rather than staying as a separate plugin.
