Let us break more things by scripting!

[Fierelier]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I often wanna do stuff client-side, to save on bandwidth. What I want to do could cause desync, but it would still be useful. Sometimes functionality, like setting animation groups on vehicles, is removed because some people cannot use it. I think that sucks and just limits the possibilities for people who know what they're doing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just let us do more stuff client side, like changing vehicle handling, even if it doesn't make much sense to do so. There is already so much stuff that can cause desyncs, like setting element models for example. Just lift the client side limitations and let us go all the way. Also, do not remove functionality that can break the game.

Yep, it can even cause crashes in some cases (see animGroup of setVehicleHandling), although the animGroup may be useful in some cases (actually I used it).

Yes, we're ok with adding features that may behave strangely to the client Lua API. There are many use cases, e.g. Sphene.
