Vehicle Control
Step-by-step installation guide, common issues & solutions, code snippets, error codes, config previews, locales previews, SQL previews, and changelogs; all in 1 easily accessible place.
1. Unzip the
cd_vehiclecontrol.zip
folder and place this folder in your server's resource folder.2. Add the resource to your server start config:
ensure cd_vehiclecontrol
.3. WARNING The name of the folder must not be changed or the resource will not function correctly.
4. WARNING Do not edit the encrypted files in any way.
You MUST read all of the configurable options inside the
config.lua
and configure them to suit your server's needs. Please read the ”commented out help text” at the end of each line so you can understand what each config option does.
Before starting this resource on your main/live server we highly advise you to configure your key binds because this resource uses Fivem's Key Mapping.
Why? Well long story short;- once a player has joined your server with this resource running you can no longer force change their key binds for this resource through the
config.lua
, only they can change it in the in-game pause menu settings. Although it will change for the players who join after you have changed it.The benefit of this system is that it's much more optimised and players can easily change their own key binds on keyboards or controllers. You can also check out the Default Keybinds for this resource.

.Some extras such as lightbars not working?eg., the lightbar extra for example can be toggled off, but when toggled back on it's not visible.✔️ Sometimes extras such as lightbars will only be visible if the car is fully repaired first.To fix this you can set Config.Extras.extras_workaround_fix to true in the configs/config.lua.There is a downside with this though; because to overcome this issue we fully repair the vehicle. After the extra has been enabled we re-aply most of the damage such as broken doors, broken windows and popped tyres. But we are unable to re-apply the minor visual body damage such as dints, bumps or scratches. So some players may abuse this to repair minor visual body damage on their vehicles.
If you see an error code which isn't listed below please open a script support ticket in the Codesign Discord.

Files Changed: Not every update requires you to replace the whole folder. We do this because we understand it's a pain to redo the configs for every update.
- All Files - This means you should delete your old
cd_vehiclecontrol
folder, download and add in the latest version, reconfigure the configs folder and restart your server. - Specific Files - This means you can simply copy and paste the SPECIFIC new files over the old ones and restart the server.
Update Type: On rare occasions, you are forced to update to the latest version. Mostly due to authentication updates where the old versions will no longer work.
- Mandatory - This means you MUST update to this new version or the old versions will no longer work.
- Optional - This means it's completely your choice whether you wish to update to the latest version. But we do not offer support for old versions for obvious reasons; they are old.

Changelog:
Add
- Job-restricted Usage: You can allow all players to be able to use this part of the UI to toggle extras and liveries or you can restrict it to certain jobs only (you can choose multiple jobs).
- Location Restricted Usage: You can allow players to be able to use this part of the UI to toggle extras and liveries anywhere on the map or you can restrict it to certain areas around the map (you can choose multiple locations).
- Note: The 2 usage-restricting features above^^ can work independently of each other or in combination with each other; (for example., only police and ambulance jobs can use the UI to toggle extras but also they can only do this in certain areas around the map.)
- Bugged Extras (lightbars) Fix 1: If your vehicle is in full health you will now be able to toggle on the bugged extras such as lightbars.
- Bugged Extras (lightbars) Fix 2: Added a new config option
Config.Extras.extras_workaround_fix
which will also fix this issue on vehicles that are damaged but do have small side effects #Common Issues.
Edit
- Changed the default key from
N
toK
as n had some issues with the chat.
