Retro Radar

Common problems and their solutions. If there is an error here that matches your situation, you can resolve it by applying the solution.

The radar is visible but not working

Section titled “The radar is visible but not working”

If the radar appears on the screen, everything is working correctly. However, you must activate the front and rear radar systems for the radar features to be active. After pressing the END key, you will enter edit mode. While in edit mode, click the settings icon at the bottom left of the radar. Then, activate the top two settings, the XMIT options. With these settings active, the radar will work without any problems. If you want to change the radar detection range, you can modify the Config.RadarControlMeters setting in the config. This setting applies to both the front and rear.

The vehicle identification system is not working

Section titled “The vehicle identification system is not working”

Ensure the radar is active. If the radar is not active, the vehicle identification system will not function. The Config.GetVehicleClass contains the system that defines the vehicle classes. You need to integrate this according to your own server.

It identifies the vehicle, but there is no change in the police vehicle

Section titled “It identifies the vehicle, but there is no change in the police vehicle”

If you are using a Standalone framework, the tool change will not work. If you wish, you can easily integrate it.
If you are not using Standalone and there is no change to the tool, this is because your class definition is incomplete.

Below is an example of how to add a new class:

config.lua
Config.OverrideAutomaticClassSelectorModes = {
    'A',
    'B',
    'C',
}


Config.GetVehicleClass = function(vehicle, vehicleModel, vehicleLabel)
    vehicleModel = joaat(vehicleModel)


    if joaat('elegy') == vehicleModel then
        return "A"
    elseif joaat('sultan') == vehicleModel then
        return "B"
    elseif joaat('asbo') == vehicleModel then
        return "C"
    end


    return "B"
end

How can I localize?

Section titled “How can I localize?”

There are 2 locations available for localization: config.lua and html/config.json

config.lua
Config.Notification = function(text)
  if not text then return end


  -- Language supports
  if text == 'cdWaitTime' then
      text = 'You cannot change modes that quickly! Only the radar lock active vehicle performance mode has not been changed.'
  end


  if Config.Framework == 'ESX' then
      TriggerEvent('esx:showNotification', text)
  elseif Config.Framework == 'QBCore' or Config.Framework == 'QBX' then
      TriggerEvent('QBCore:Notify', text)
  end
end
