LlamaPalooza · June 15, 2024, 2:53am

Just picked this up, can’t to get it set up and going.

LinxNZ · June 15, 2024, 9:58am

I see you’ve added exports[“zyke_garages”]:OpenImpounderMenu() however, what I meant was, to be able to impound the vehicle without requiring the player having to interact with the UI

bytelog · June 15, 2024, 10:11am

good job

Zyke · June 15, 2024, 1:21pm

I see that you have already contacted us through other means, I have answered you in there.

Zyke · June 15, 2024, 1:22pm

Oh. So you just want to be able to click an “Impound” button, and it choose a pre-defined default of some sort?

LinxNZ · June 16, 2024, 8:39am

No, just a simple export that can mark a vehicle for impound manually without the use of any UI.

For example:

local Options = {
	Impounder = "Mechanic",
	VIN = "7AT08G2YX17051598",
	Locked = 0,
	Fee = 2500,
	Reason = "Illegally parked",
	RemoveVehicle = false,
	RequireLicense = true
}

exports[“zyke_garages”]:ManualImpoundVehicle(Options)

This script is now objectively the most feature-rich and worthwhile for your money. We continue to update our system instead of selling you DLCs, like our keys, persistent vehicles, parking meters, vehicle transfer contracts, and so much more.
