VehicleTracker

What does it do exactly?

This resource provides you with the means to locate and track vehicles via blips on the map. This
is mainly meant as a complimentary resource for any sort of parking script, as vehicles that are
not in scope of any player simply cannot be tracked at all.

This is fully compatible with AdvancedParking out of the box but can also be changed to work with other parking scripts.
If you are using other parking scripts, I can help you with integrating it as well.

If you are not using a parking script and you are not spawning your vehicles on server side, the
blips will disappear when the player is too far away, as the vehicle might be unloaded by the
engine itself. This is why it is highly recommended to use e.g. AdvancedParking, as that script
will always return a position of a saved vehicle!

Small update adding a button to open the menu and fixing a small error

4

Does this show player owned cars or all cars?

5

Normal players can only track their owned vehicles (ESX only though).

Export for tracking any vehicle is available on server side.

And it is currently planned to include tracking for any vehicle when the player is a police officer. This will come soon and feature an input window to manually enter the plate you are looking for.
(can be disabled if you do not want it and configured to balance it for your server)

6

This script now uses the Asset Escrow System, meaning you can download it from your keymaster website!
There is currently no encryption being used at all!

7

Really small update!
You can now configure an item that can be used to open the tracking menu!

8

New update adding my version checker and fixing a critical bug.

  • Added version checker to the script. Shows new versions and patch notes in the server console.
  • Fixed an error inside the menu that prevented from deactivating the tracker.
9

Can police tracking be updated?

10

The police tracker is still planned and will come eventually, I am just really busy with other scripts/updates/projects at the moment.

In the meantime, you can already use the server side exports to do that if you wanted.
Tldr:

  • Server event that takes a plate and sends it to the export
  • Police Menu option opens an input window for the plate and triggers the event

Update v2.0.0

  • Added support for QBCore.
  • Added a small amount of encryption. (~100 lines)
  • Added an export for opening the menu.
  • Added more dynamic to the menu:
    • You can now activate and deactivate the tracker in the owned vehicles menu directly.
    • Submenus are loaded only when clicked and are now always up to date.
  • Reworked some parts of the code to make it more readable and performant. Most notably:
    • Separated a lot of functions into smaller functions.
    • Switched from vector2 to vector3 for the blips.
    • Switched from entity enumeration to GetGamePool function for getting vehicles on client side.
  • Missing from previous patch notes:
    • Police can now track any vehicle from the menu!
  • Fixed the transition between server and client side updating of the blips position. (first iteration was always server sided)

Hotfix v2.0.1

  • Fixed an error when not using AdvancedParking with this script.
12

Update v2.1.0

  • Fixed compatibility with newer ESX versions.
  • Updated folder structure.
