[Release] Vehicle Door Controls

GIMIcz · December 17, 2020, 3:24pm

Hi there!

I’m back with another release. This time it’s a rather simple one, only featuring basic key controls over nearest vehicle’s doors from the outside. It will be, however, worked on.

Preview

Features

open / close vehicle doors easily from the outside
roll windows up / down from the outside, when the door is open
blacklist any undesirable vehicles from the script
enable / disable the script at any time individually

Screenshots

Instalation

Extract the contents into folder called doorcontrol into your resources folder.
Start the script: a) in the server.cfg file; b) through the console

Starting a resource through console

In a server console, or client console (F8), type in refresh and confirm using ENTER
Type in start doorcontrol and confirm using ENTER

Starting a resource in `server.cfg`

Add this line to your server.cfg

start doorcontrol

Save the file and restart the server.

Usage & Commands

/doorcontrol (alias /dc) - Enables or disables the door controls. This option is stored and persists upon reconnection / restart.

Note: The controls are disabled by default.

Known bugs

None! Feel free to open issue if you find any!

Like the script? Don’t forget to

Amazing resource!

Also, I have only just put this in my server minutes ago. Does each player have to do /doorcontrol (/dc)
Or is it the server that has to?

GIMIcz · December 17, 2020, 5:37pm

Glad you like it!

Every player who wants to use this has to use /dc once (then it gets stored into his local storage). You could definitely modify the script so it would be opt-out. I only made it opt-in because it can be a little resource hungry (as there is a reasonable amount of calculations made, and 3D text is rendered).

SaintKiller135 · December 17, 2020, 5:41pm

Ah ok,
sorry i dont understand much about code, how would i opt it out?

Also is there any possible way for the bum bin animation to play when the trunk opens?

GIMIcz · December 17, 2020, 10:04pm

I modified the script for you. Just download the latest code (not release).

I didn’t include animations because these would be very tricky with some vehicles.

ah ok appreciated!

coastalfivem · January 30, 2021, 6:10am

anyway to make this so you don’t need to start in console as well?

GIMIcz · January 30, 2021, 10:22am

What? Maybe read this: Introduction to resources.

LuenSS · January 30, 2021, 1:53pm

useful!

coastalfivem · January 30, 2021, 6:55pm

sorry im not a script creator and honestly just read that how does that have anything to do with my question no other scripts we use need to be started in the console only in server.cfg.

coastalfivem · January 30, 2021, 6:59pm

never mind i thought in your installation you were saying you had to start it both places not two different ways to start it.

OnyxEye · March 3, 2021, 1:50pm

For some reason, this script needed to be restarted before it would work when I tested it today. Simply starting it in the server.cfg doesn’t seem to work. I tested it myself because someone else I know installed it on their server and had the same issue. Tried it on one server with OneSync and one server without OneSync. Same issue, only worked after restarting the resource, itself.

GIMIcz · March 3, 2021, 2:46pm

Hi, please have a look in the console (client) for any errors. Which version are you using? I haven’t been able to reproduce this problem. Check your server configuration for any spelling errors which could cause the script not to start.

OnyxEye · March 3, 2021, 2:49pm

There are no console errors. The script “starts” because the command is visible as a preview when you start typing /doorcontrol. It just doesn’t actually seem to toggle on with that command or the /dc one until the script is restarted.

I’m using the latest release of the script. And server artifact version 3539

GIMIcz · March 3, 2021, 6:14pm

Thank you for the additional information. I’m still not able to reproduce the problem though. Please contact me using the contact on my GitHub profile, I’ll try to help you further without overflowing this thread with unnecessary conversation.

coastalfivem · March 5, 2021, 8:52pm

The script is only for our server until you spawn in a new ped or change your appearance from the original one you spawn in. any easy way to fix this issue

GIMIcz · March 6, 2021, 1:12am

Update to version 1.2.0 in which this issue was addressed.

GulamK · May 18, 2022, 8:29pm

hey, how do i change the keybind for opening the doors?

GIMIcz · May 23, 2022, 6:21pm

Hi

You can change the keybind in your client’s settings under Key mapping > FiveM.

If you wish to change the default keybind, you’ll need to edit these lines:

                '-door',
                function() end,
                false
            )
            
            
RegisterKeyMapping('+door', 'Open / close the nearest door', 'keyboard', 'e')

                    if stopThreads and nearestDoorIndex and nearestDoorIndex < 4 and GetVehicleDoorAngleRatio(nearestVehicle, nearestDoorIndex) > 0.1 then
                        RequestControlOfEntity(nearestVehicle)
                        if IsVehicleWindowIntact(nearestVehicle, nearestDoorIndex) then
                            RollDownWindow(nearestVehicle, nearestDoorIndex)
                        else
