Managing vehicles

The Manage section of a vehicle’s page holds everything an owner can do with it. Players who only hold keys can take a shared vehicle out and park it, but they cannot manage it.

Nicknames and favourites

  • Rename: give the vehicle a nickname. It replaces the model name in the list.
  • Favourite: tap the star in the page header. Favourites show a star in the list.

Sharing keys

Share Keys gives a player near you (8 metres) access to the vehicle: they see it in their garages and can take it out and park it. One vehicle can be shared with up to Config.ShareLimit players. Remove a player from the same list to take the access back.

Moving a vehicle

Vehicles parked in another garage of the same kind appear under Other garages (with Config.ShowOtherGarages). Move to Garage brings the vehicle here for Config.TransferFee.

Giving and selling

Both work for a parked vehicle and a player standing next to you (5 metres).
Transfers the vehicle for free. Its shared keys, nickname and favourite are cleared, and the new owner gets a notification.

Activity log

Every vehicle keeps a log of what happened to it: taken out and parked, moved, shared, impounded and released, serviced, given or sold, with who did it and where. Entries older than Config.HistoryDays are removed.

Mileage and service

Every RoadGarage vehicle has an odometer. It counts while the vehicle is driven, in kilometres or miles (Config.Mileage.Unit). The vehicle page shows the reading and when the next service is due (Config.Mileage.ServiceInterval). A vehicle is serviced in one of two ways:
  • By a mechanic: players with a job in Config.Service.Jobs use /service or the target option next to the vehicle.
  • At a garage: when Config.Service.GarageFee is above 0, owners service the vehicle from its page for that fee.
Set ServiceInterval = 0 to turn the reminders off.

Damage

With Config.SaveDamage, broken doors, windows, burst tyres and dents are saved when a vehicle is parked and are back when it is taken out. Engine and body health and fuel are always saved.
