Stolen Car despawns if player goes to a car dealership

Server Owners
1

When a player goes into a car dealership, then teleports across the map to see the vehicles via a resource like jg-advancedgarages, the vehicle they once had will be gone… This only applies to stolen cars it seems. This issue does not occur if they actually own the vehicle. Is there any way to prevent this? I’m using the QBCore framework.

Thank you.

Hey :wave:

There are many factors to consider regarding vehicle persistence. It mostly depends on how you spawn a vehicle.

  • Ambient spawn (like an NPC vehicle)? These will usually be gone if you are not close.
  • client side through script? Can exist a little longer, doesn’t necessarily have to
  • server side RPC native CreateVehicle? Same as client side
  • server side native CreateVehicleServerSetter? Enables “persistence” for that vehicle. (This is not perfect but it prevents a lot of despawns)
  • using SetEntityOrphanMode server side? Nearly the same as the setter but it allows setting this “persistence” state after the vehicle has been spawned through other means.

Afaik jg-advancedgarages supports both client and server side (with the setter) spawning and with the latter automatically enables some persistence.

Tl’dr: You need a resource that does this for you and especially for all the problems that persistence still has even when using the correct native functions.

There are lots of persistence resources out there that allow saving vehicles even across server restarts, though most of them are paid. I do offer one myself:

There are others though, so feel free to look around.

I didn’t fully copy the documentation at first, so that’s my bad, so hoping this will be fixed next restart… It seems all vehicles are not deleting. I added the shared script to the QBCore manifest and hoping that will fix this issue…
