Walking Mode is not what is seems

    Walking mode is actually a vehicle, but without a speed gauge or that stuff.

    Today I got out of my car and went into walking mode. For some reason, I could not get back in, so I pressed tab.
    This actually left the walking mode playermodel OUTSIDE of the vehicle. It's shape resembles a sphere with a cylinder floating above it. This playermodel is called the Unicycle, which I confirmed on another post.
    By spamming the F and Tab buttons, I spawned a whole army of unicycles outside my vehicle.

    If you go into walk mode and then freecam, you can view your unicycle.

    These playermodels/unicycles are also just like cars in the sense that they have hitboxes. For example, if you take a different vehicle and ram it into the unicycle it pushes it around. Also, if you are moving when you switch off the unicycle, the unicycle keeps moving.

    When I pressed tab, I could switch between my cars and unicycles, just like normal vehicles.

    This got me thinking. Could I destroy the "unicycles"?
    I bonded a node of the unicycle (yes, they have nodes) to the node of a Roamer. This broke the game. Both vehicles went completely invisible, and put the game into a weird pause state. After a second try, it worked, but I had no luck damaging the unicycle.

    For my final test, I stuck it onto the front of a JATO bus.

    You can probably guess what I did next. Put on the JATOs and slammed the bus into a pillar. And you know what happened? The game paused and said "Instability detected in unicycle".
    At some point in my experiment, I was able to warp or damage the unicycle. One of it's nodes was pulled out. And I may have broken it again, but it just respawned at what I think was the home point.

    I encourage everyone to experiment with this strange playermodel/unicycle, and try and break it more.
    Below I will attach a video of me slamming the unicycle into a pillar.

    I tried breaking it so much it actually crashed my game. Be careful with that because who knows what else it could do.

    Right, that's the thing, although it's fun to mess around with.

    We knew it's an unicycle ever since the feature was out

    Oh okay. I thought it was interesting to experiment with though. Although, when I looked up unicycle on the forums here I only found one extra post about it.
