Parked Cars

[Flaqko]

is there a way to add more parked cars with a lua script?  

something like with cleo

014B: $BSX01 = init_parked_car_generator #ADD_CAR color -1 -1 -1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at X Y Z angle A
014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to  101

except by lua instead. Please. any help will very much be appreciated!

local parked = {}

function parkedCar(player,seat,owner)
	if source and player and seat and owner then
		if seat == 0 then
			if not player == owner then
				cancelEvent()
				outputChatBox('You cannot enter this vehicle, it is parked by '..getPlayerName(owner),player,255,0,0)
				outputChatBox(getPlayerName(player)..' has tried to get access to your parked vehicle.',owner,255,0,0)
			end
		end
	end
end

setTimer(function()
	for i=1,#parked do
		if parked[i].park then
			parked[i].event = addEventHandler('onVehicleStartEnter',parked[i].vehicle,parkedCar,parked[i].vehicle,parked[i].owner)
			setElementFrozen(parked[i].vehicle,true)
		else
			parked[i].event = removeEventHandler('onVehicleStartEnter',parked[i].vehicle,parkedCar)
			setElementFrozen(parked[i].vehicle,false)
		end
	end
end,1000,0)

addCommandHandler('parkcar',function(player,cmd)
	local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)
	if vehicle then
		local driver = getVehicleOccupant(vehicle)
		if driver == player then
			local self = {}
			self.owner = player
			self.vehicle = vehicle
			self.park = true
			table.insert(parked,self)
		end
	end
end)

addCommandHandler('unparkcar',function(player,cmd)
	local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)
	if vehicle then
		local driver = getVehicleOccupant(vehicle)
		if driver == player then
			for i=1,#parked do
				if parked[i].vehicle == vehicle then
					parked[i].park = false
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Something like that idk.
This is untested code and may need modifications, good luck.

He probably means just vehicles like they are spawned and neatly parked in GTA's streets.

You can use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SpawnVehicle and place cars at the location (coordinates) you wish, you could attach that function to a resource that spawns all vehicles defined, when the resource starts. The coordinates would be chosen to make it look like GTA spawned them there (on sidewalks, in similar parking spots) as that's probably what you want.

yes that is exactly what i want!  I don't understand what you mean by attach it to a resource. So the recourse is like main() or what?  Is there an actual tutorial anywhere?  With cleo this was easy because all i had to do was copy and paste that cleo script and changed the vehicles and coordinates.
