Vehicle Spawning

Overview

The Zyrix API provides comprehensive vehicle spawning functions that allow staff members to create vehicles with custom properties, colors, and modifications.

SpawnVehicle

Spawn a vehicle at specified coordinates with optional customization.

Syntax

local success, status, vehicleNetId = exports['zyrix_admin']:SpawnVehicle(staffId, model, coords, customization)

Parameters

staffId (number) - Server ID of the staff member spawning the vehicle
model (string|number) - Vehicle model name or hash
coords (vector4) - Spawn coordinates with heading
customization (table, optional) - Vehicle customization options

Customization Options

{
    color = {primary = {255, 0, 0}, secondary = {0, 0, 255}}, -- RGB colors
    plate = "CUSTOM01",           -- Custom license plate (max 8 characters)
    mods = {                      -- Vehicle modifications
        engine = 3,               -- Engine level (0-4)
        brakes = 2,               -- Brake level (0-3)
        transmission = 2,         -- Transmission level (0-3)
        suspension = 1            -- Suspension level (0-4)
    },
    extras = {1, 3, 5},          -- Active vehicle extras
    livery = 2,                  -- Vehicle livery ID
    drift = false,               -- Drift mode
    godMode = false              -- Vehicle god mode
}

Returns

success (boolean) - Whether the vehicle was spawned successfully
status (string) - Status code: 'success', 'no_permission', 'invalid_model', 'invalid_coords'
vehicleNetId (number) - Network ID of the spawned vehicle

Example

-- Spawn basic vehicle
local coords = vector4(100.0, 200.0, 30.0, 90.0)
local success, status, netId = exports['zyrix_admin']:SpawnVehicle(source, "adder", coords)

if success then
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, "Vehicle spawned successfully")
    print("Vehicle Net ID:", netId)
else
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, "Failed to spawn vehicle: " .. status)
end

-- Spawn customized vehicle
local customization = {
    color = {primary = {255, 0, 0}, secondary = {0, 255, 0}},
    plate = "ADMIN01",
    mods = {engine = 4, brakes = 3},
    godMode = true
}

local success, status, netId = exports['zyrix_admin']:SpawnVehicle(source, "zentorno", coords, customization)
