What is vehicle plate formats?

Your vehicle shop/car dealer is the script that usually decides what plate format owned vehicles will use on your server. So you need to configure the Config.PlateFormats in the config.lua to what plate format your server uses. We have added compatibility with all 3 known plate formats.

​

Short Explanation

By default every vehicles plate in FiveM is 8 characters long. So for example if your vehicle shop forces the plate to be 4 characters long, when you use the FiveM native to get a vehicles plate GetVehicleNumberPlateText(vehicle), this will return a string that is 8 characters long even though the plate is 4 characters long on your vehicle in-game (ABCD); because FiveM will add whitespaces until the plate is 8 characters long including whitespaces.

​

Vehicle Shops

Your vehicle shop will get the plate as explained above, and will modify the plate using one of the known 3 methods explained below before it saves it to the database.

How does vehicle keys work?

If you are using the built in vehicle keys system, you will need to trigger an event every time you spawn a vehicle in other non-codesign resources eg., /car command, vehicle shop(s), civilian job vehicles(s), etc.

How does boat & air garages work?

When a player purchases a boat/air vehicle, the script requires you to update the garage_type for this vehicle in the database. If you do not use boat/air vehicles, you can ignore this as the default garage_type value in the database is car.

How does property garages work?

If you use a paid property resource, then it's really the developer of said resource who will be best suited to help you with the property garages, as the Codesign Team doesn't have access to their resources and we can't have access to them without the developers permission, considering we haven't purchased them. But, we have made it extremely simply for you yourself to implement this into your property resource.

How does persistent vehicles work?

Our persistent vehicle feature will save and respawn any vehicles that have despawned either while you are in the server or after you have re-logged. Please note that vehicles will not save and respawn after a server restart.

How do job garages work?

We have 3 options for job garages, each job garage location can be set to use a different method and needs to be implemented in a different way.

​

This garage script does not include any kind of vehicle shop, so if you choose to use the Personal Owned or Society Owned methods you would need to sort that out yourself.

Property Garage

This is already implemented and you don't need to make any additional changes, of course assuming your using the official QBCore's latest version.

Vehicle Keys

We have added event handlers for the default QBCore qb-keys in cd_garage, meaning: you no longer need to edit the give-key events in your resources.

Phone

Replace the existing code snippet in the qb-phone/server/main.lua/line 196. This code snippet is inside the qb-phone:server:GetPhoneData server callback. (the exact line may vary depending on your version).

​

Note: Config.VehiclesData.ENABLE must be set to true in the config.lua.

local garageresult = MySQL.query.await('SELECT * FROM player_vehicles WHERE citizenid = ?', {Player.PlayerData.citizenid})

if garageresult[1] ~= nil then

for _, v in pairs(garageresult) do

local vehicleModel = v.vehicle

if QBCore.Shared.Vehicles[vehicleModel] ~= nil then

v.garage = v.garage_id

v.vehicle = QBCore.Shared.Vehicles[vehicleModel].name

v.brand = QBCore.Shared.Vehicles[vehicleModel].brand

end

​

end

PhoneData.Garage = garageresult

end

Not using default mechanic script? (error_code-013552)

If you have been re-directed here from the error code 013552; there could be 3 reasons for this:

1.
This trigger event in qb-vehicleshop has been removed or is not being triggered.
2.
This register event in qb-mechanicjob has been removed or is not receiving the event correctly.
3.
You have removed/replaced the default qb-mechanicjob script. If you have replaced it and your having this issue then the new script doesn't have this register event for some strange reason. You can copy paste the code snippet below into the server side of any script.

function IsVehicleOwned(plate)

local result = MySQL.scalar.await('SELECT 1 from player_vehicles WHERE plate = ?', {plate})

if result then

return true

else

return false

end

end

​

RegisterNetEvent('qb-vehicletuning:server:SaveVehicleProps', function(vehicleProps)

if IsVehicleOwned(vehicleProps.plate) then

MySQL.update('UPDATE player_vehicles SET mods = ? WHERE plate = ?',

{json.encode(vehicleProps), vehicleProps.plate})

end

end)

Screen Flickering?

eg., if your screen is flickering while using cd_easytime.

✔️ This is due to you having multiple time/weather sync scripts running at the same time fighting each other eg., vSync or vMenu. Stop the other time/weather script that is causing this or stop cd_easytime and remove it from the dependencies in the fxmanifest.lua of cd_garage.

SQL Default Value?

eg., if you see an error similar to this example when inserting an SQL query into your database - “BLOB/TEXT column 'adv_stats' can't have a default value”.

✔️ You can use “VARCHAR(256)” instead of “LONGTEXT” in the SQL query.

SQL Unknown Column?

eg., if you see an SQL error in the server console similar to this example - ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown colum 'job_personalspawn' in 'where clause'.

✔️ You are missing one of the required database columns. The SQL file can be found in the "READ_ME_AFTER_PURCHASING" folder.
