Automatic Engine Shutoff v1.0

Automatic Engine Shutoff v1.0

Stop wasting time with engines left running!
FireLife93 Automatic Engine Shutoff brings a useful quality-of-life improvement to Farming Simulator 25 by automatically switching off unattended vehicle engines after three minutes.
Ever parked a tractor, truck, or car, stepped away to handle another job, and forgotten to turn the engine off? This script is designed to handle that for you.

Built for players who want a more convenient and immersive farming experience, Automatic Engine Shutoff works in the background so you can focus on running your farm instead of worrying about vehicles left idling.

Features
Automatic engine shutdown: Turns off the engine after approximately three minutes when a vehicle is left unattended.
Occupant protection: Tested to keep the engine running while you remain seated inside the vehicle.
Standard and modded vehicles: Tested with farming equipment and a modded car.
Engine Start Plus testing: Tested with Engine Start Plus enabled, both with its engine-stop timer set to three minutes and with that timer turned off.
Background operation: Designed to run automatically without requiring you to manually activate the shutdown every time you leave a vehicle.
Simple, lightweight functionality: A straightforward script focused on improving everyday gameplay.

Vehicle Compatibility
The script has been tested with a modded car as well as farming vehicles. Compatibility with additional modded vehicles may vary depending on how each vehicle is implemented.

How It Works
Start and operate your vehicle normally.
Leave the vehicle running when you step away.
The script monitors for the unattended shutdown conditions.
After approximately three minutes, the engine shuts off if the conditions are met.
The engine is expected to remain running while you are occupying the vehicle.

Important: Version 1.0.0.0 uses a fixed three-minute shutdown delay. An in-game settings menu and adjustable timer are not included in this release.
