Client Sided Exports

Give Key

Give the player a key to the specified vehicle. Example:

---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local success = exports["zyke_garages"]:GiveKey(identifier)

Has Key

Check if you have access to a specific vehicle. Example:

---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local hasKey = exports["zyke_garages"]:HasKey(identifier)

Remove Key

Remove the key for a specific vehicle from a player. Example:

---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local success = exports["zyke_garages"]:RemoveKey(identifier)

Save Vehicle

If you want to save a vehicle to the database that is in the world, run this export. This is the same function that gets ran with you use the /savevehicle command, which can be found here. Example:

---@param vin string
---@return boolean, string? @Success, reason for failure
exports["zyke_garages"]:SaveVehicle(vin)

Is Vehicle A Temporary Vehicle

Returns if the vehicle is a temporary vehicle or not. Example:

---@param vehicle integer @Vehicle handler
---@return boolean, boolean | nil @Is temp, has temp been initialized
exports["zyke_garages"]:IsVehicleATempVehicle(vehicle)

Pay Impound

Pay an impound for a vehicle. Example:

---@param vin string
---@param notifications boolean @Enable notifications when failed
---@return boolean, string? @Success, reason for failure
exports["zyke_garages"]:PayImpound(vin, notifications)

Set New Owner

If you want to set owners for vehicles through other resources, you can easily do so via our exports. Example:

---@param vin string?
---@param identifier string @Target identifier
---@param passedVehicleData table? @Set to the vehicle's properties if ownedVehicle is not true
---@param transferer string? @Simply used for logging purposes, set to the identifier of the transferer
---@param garageId string? @If provided, the vehicle will be set to this garage
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetNewOwner(vin, identifier, passedVehicleData, transferer, garageId)

Open Garage Settings

Opens the garage settings menu, which can also be opened with a command found here. Example:

exports["zyke_garages"]:OpenGarageSettings()

Set Fake Plate

This export allows you to swap the plate of a vehicle temporarily. Note that unless you set "performRealisticSwap" to true, it will not perform any animations, check if you're close to the vehicle etc. Example:

---@param identifier string | integer @Vin number or entity handler
---@param fakePlate string @New fake plate
---@param setAsOwner boolean @Set the fake plate as the owner of the vehicle
---@param performRealisticSwap boolean? @Animations & position checking
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetFakePlate(identifier, fakePlate, setAsOwner, notification, performRealisticSwap)

Open Impounder Menu

This export allows you to open the impounder menu just like the existing command. The export checks your job and performs all necessary actions to work. Example:

exports["zyke_garages"]:OpenImpounderMenu()

Set Lock State

Using this export you can set the current door lock status for vehicles with a vin number. Example:

---@param vin string
---@param state boolean
---@param lockpick boolean? @If you used this function because of a lockpick
---@return boolean, string? @Success, reason for failure
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetLockState(vin, state, lockpick)

Set Engine State

Using this export, you can set the current engine state for vehicles with a vin number. Example:

---@param vin string
---@param state boolean
---@return boolean, string? @Success, reason for failure
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetEngineState(vin, state)

Open Garage

Open a garage via an export.

Example:

---@param garageId string
---@param usedMenu? boolean
exports["zyke_garages"]:OpenGarage(garageId, usedMenu)

Example: Grab the garage id from the section you are currently standing in, to open the garage. The example approach targets both normal garages & impounds.

-- EXPLICIT
local _, currGarageId = exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInGarageSection()
local _, currImpoundId = exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInImpoundSection()
local id = currGarageId or currImpoundId

if (id) then
    exports["zyke_garages"]:OpenGarage(id, true)
end

-- QUICK METHOD
local _, id = exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInAnySection()
if (id) then
    exports["zyke_garages"]:OpenGarage(id, true)
end

Is In Garage Section

Check if you are currently standing inside of a garage section. The garage id for the section you are in is returned as the second parameter, or nil. Example:

---@return boolean, string?
exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInGarageSection()

Is In Impound Section

Check if you are currently standing inside of an impound section. The garage id for the section you are in is returned as the second parameter, or nil. Example:

---@return boolean, string?
exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInImpoundSection()

Is In Any Section

Performs the Is In Garage Section & Is In Impound Section exports automatically to grab an id for easier integration of just one export. Example:

---@return boolean, string?
exports["zyke_garages"]:IsInAnySection()

Safe Delete Vehicle

Safely delete a vehicle from the game world. This export handles vehicle lookup, configurable safety checks, and server-side persistence (saving vehicle properties before removal). The export uses a concurrency guard to prevent multiple simultaneous deletions. All safety requirements are opt-in. If you pass no reqs table, the vehicle will be deleted with no additional checks. Example:

---@param identifier string | integer -- Plate or vehicle entity handle
---@param showNotification? boolean -- Show built-in notifications on failure
---@param reqs? DeletionRequirements -- Opt-in safety checks
---@return boolean, string? @Success, reason for failure
local success, reason = exports["zyke_garages"]:SafeDeleteVehicle(identifier, showNotification, reqs)

DeletionRequirements: entityOwner - boolean? - If true, the player must be the network entity owner of the vehicle. vehicleEmpty - boolean? - If true, the vehicle must have no other players seated in it (ignores caller). maxDistance - number? - Maximum allowed distance between the player and the vehicle. Checked on both client and server. Fail reasons: "alreadyDeleting" - A deletion is already in progress. "noVehicleFound" - No vehicle matched the identifier. "notOwner" - Player is not the entity owner. "vehicleNotEmpty" - Other players are seated in the vehicle. "tooFar" - Player exceeded the max distance. "noVinSpecified" - Server-side: vehicle has no VIN. "unknownError" - Server callback failed or timed out. Example with all requirements:

local veh = GetVehiclePedIsIn(PlayerPedId(), false)

local success, reason = exports["zyke_garages"]:SafeDeleteVehicle(veh, true, {
    entityOwner = true,
    vehicleEmpty = true,
    maxDistance = 10.0,
})

if (not success) then
    print("Deletion denied:", reason)
end

Server Sided Exports

Transfer Ownership

This is a shorthand for transfering vehicle ownership with less arguments than SetNewOwner.

Click here to read more about it.

Give Key

Give the player a key to the specified vehicle. Example:

---@param plyId integer
---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local success = exports["zyke_garages"]:GiveKey(plyId, identifier)

Has Key

Check if a player has access to a specific vehicle. Example:

---@param plyId integer
---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local hasKey = exports["zyke_garages"]:HasKey(plyId, identifier)

Remove Key

Remove the key for a specific vehicle from a player. Example:

---@param plyId integer
---@param identifier string | number -- Plate, VIN, or entity handle
---@return boolean
local success = exports["zyke_garages"]:RemoveKey(plyId, identifier)

Set New Owner

If you want to set owners for vehicles through other resources, you can easily do so via our exports. Example:

---@param vin string? @VIN of the vehicle, not required if the vehicle is not owned by anyone
---@param newOwner string @Static identifier for the new owner, has to be citizenid for QBCore and identifier for ESX
---@param vehicleData table @Set to the vehicle's properties if vehicle is not owned
---@param financeData table? @Set to the vehicle's finance data if vehicle is not owned
---@param extras table? @Set to the vehicle's extras if vehicle is not owned
---@param transferer string @Simply used for logging purposes, set to the string of the transferer
---@param garageId string? @If provided, the vehicle will be set to this garage
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetNewOwner(vin, newOwner, vehicleData, financeData, extras, transferer, garageId)

Set Garage

Set a new garage for a vehicle. Example:

---@param vin string
---@param garage string
---@return boolean, string? @Success, failure reason
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetGarage(vin, garage)

Can Transfer Ownership

Check if you can transfer ownership of your vehicle or not. The conditions can be modified in zyke_garages/server/unlocked/functions.lua. Example:

---@param vin string
---@return boolean, string? @Success, failure reason
exports["zyke_garages"]:CanTransferOwnership(vin)

Initialize Vehicle

Initialize a spawned vehicle, ensuring it has all the required values to operate properly. Trigger this whenever another script handles the spawning of your vehicle. NOTE that this is already automatically handled if you give a key for that vehicle. Example:

---@param vin string
---@param veh number
---@param setAsTemp boolean? @If the vehicle should be set as temporary, mainly used for persistent vehicles
---@return integer @Net id
exports["zyke_garages"]:InitializeVehicle(vin, veh, setAsTemp)

Shared Exports

Get Vin From Vehicle

This export returns the vin from a vehicle. If the vehicle doesn't have a vin it will ensure it and give it one, unless you specify it not to. Example:

---@param vehicle number @Vehicle number / vehicle handler
---@param copy boolean | nil @Copy the vin number that is returned
---@param disableEnsuring? boolean @Prevent a vin number from being created if the entity does not have one
---@return string | nil, boolean @Vin number, has ensured
exports["zyke_garages"]:GetVinFromVehicle(vehicle, copy, disableEnsuring)

Ensure Vehicle Vin

If you want to manually ensure a vehicle's vin number, you can do it with this export. Example:

---@param vehicle integer @Vehicle handler
---@param lockpick string? @Lockpick item, nil if not lockpicking
---@return string @VIN number
exports["zyke_garages"]:EnsureVehicleVin(vehicle, lockpick)

Get Vehicle Position

Returns the vehicle position if it has been taken out of the garage and exists. Example:

---@param vin string
---@return vector3 | nil
exports["zyke_garages"]:GetVehiclePosition(vin)

Set Waypoint To Vehicle

Set a basic waypoint to the vehicle provided. Example:

---@param vin string
---@return boolean @Success
exports["zyke_garages"]:SetWaypointToVehicle(vin)

Shared Events

Handle Vehicle Purchase

There's multiple ways to use this event, please refer to Setup for in-depth examples. If you are new to development, we recommend you use Handle Vehicle Purchase With Plate. This is the more performant version, since you have the values directly and don't need to find them, but more difficult to use. Example:

-- From client
---@param netId integer
---@param plate string
TriggerEvent("zyke_garages:HandleVehiclePurchase", netId, plate)

-- From server
---@param source integer @Source / player id
---@param netId integer
---@param plate string
TriggerClientEvent("zyke_garages:HandleVehiclePurchase", source, netId, plate)

Handle Vehicle Purchase With Plate

This command is similar to Handle Vehicle Purchase. This event performs a scan of nearby vehicles attempting to find the correct vehicle with the plate provided. If you can't run Handle Vehicle Purchase, run this. Example:

-- From client
---@param plate string
TriggerEvent("zyke_garages:HandleVehiclePurchaseWithPlate", plate)

-- From server
---@param source integer @Source / player id
---@param plate string
TriggerClientEvent("zyke_garages:HandleVehiclePurchaseWithPlate", source, plate)

Remove As Persistent

With this export you can deregister a vehicle as persistent. Unless this is executed, the vehicle will always respawn when removed. This has to be used whenever you want to remove a vehicle. Note that if you pass in the vehicle handle, you have to execute the export before the vehicle is removed. Example:

---@param vin string | integer @Also possible to pass in the vehicle handle
exports["zyke_garages"]:RemoveAsPersistent(vin)
