FAQ

Section titled “FAQ”

Vehicles don’t show up in the garage UI

Section titled “Vehicles don’t show up in the garage UI”

Make sure your player_vehicles (QBCore/QBox) or owned_vehicles (ESX) table actually has vehicles for the player. The garage column needs to match a valid garage ID from config.

How impound fees are calculated

Section titled “How impound fees are calculated”

ImpoundPrice + (ImpoundPricePerHour × hours), capped at ImpoundMaxFee.

For example with defaults: $500 base + $50/hr × 10 hours = $1,000.

Adding a new public garage

Section titled “Adding a new public garage”

Add an entry to config/garages/public_garages.lua:

{ id = 'mygarage', label = 'My Garage', type = 'public',
  blip = { enabled = true, sprite = 357, color = 3, scale = 0.7 },
  spawn = { vector4(x, y, z, heading) },
  npc = { enabled = true, model = 's_m_y_valet_01', coords = vector4(x, y, z, heading) },
  vehicleTypes = { 'car', 'bike' } }

Setting up a job garage

Section titled “Setting up a job garage”

Add to config/garages/job_garages.lua with type = 'job' and job = 'yourjob'. Set blip.enabled = false if you don’t want a map blip for non-job players.

Interior system isn’t working

Section titled “Interior system isn’t working”

Set Config.GarageInterior.enabled = true in config/config.lua. The MLO assets in stream/ must be present - don’t delete them.

Drive-out system

Section titled “Drive-out system”

Enter a vehicle inside the MLO interior, drive toward the driveOutExit coordinate, and once you’re within driveOutRadius the system teleports you outside and spawns the real vehicle at the garage spawn point.

Inter-garage transfer

Section titled “Inter-garage transfer”

Requires Config.AllowInterGarageTransfer = true. Players pay Config.InterGarageTransferPrice to move a stored vehicle to another garage. A flatbed delivery animation plays at the destination.

Vehicle mods are lost after storing

Section titled “Vehicle mods are lost after storing”

Check that oxmysql is running properly. Mods get saved as JSON in the mods column on store. If the column is missing or too small, data gets truncated.

Impound access

Section titled “Impound access”

Only players with jobs in Config.ImpoundJobs (default: { 'police' }) can impound vehicles. Use /iv while looking at a vehicle.

Private garage creation

Section titled “Private garage creation”

Restricted to jobs in Config.PrivateGarages.createJobs (default: { 'police', 'realestate' }). Use /creategarage at the desired spot.

When a private garage is deleted, all vehicles in it are automatically moved to the first public garage (motelgarage).

Key sharing

Section titled “Key sharing”

The vehicle owner can share keys with up to Config.MaxSharedKeys players. Shared vehicles show up in the “Shared” tab. Shared players can spawn and store the vehicle but can’t transfer or re-share it.

Admin commands not working

Section titled “Admin commands not working”

Admin commands go through Bridge.IsAdmin(src). For QBCore this checks admin/god permissions. Make sure your player has the right admin level in your framework.
