Configuration

Every setting in Vehicle Minigames, file by file.

On this page

The settings are in three files. The ones most servers change are at the top of each table.

File	What's in it
`config.lua`	Settings shared by both minigames: volume, how far props and sounds carry
`minigames/hotwire/config.lua`	Hotwiring (`Config.hotwire`)
`minigames/lockpick/config.lua`	Lockpicking (`Config.lockpick`)

The text players see is in locales/en.json. The language is set in tr_core's settings.

Shared

config.lua
Config = {
    volume = 0.8,

    mirror = {
        range = 30.0,
        soundRange = 12.0,
        rate = 100,
    },
}

Setting	Default	What it does
`volume`	`0.8`	Sound effects volume, from 0 to 1
`mirror.range`	`30.0`	Metres within which other players see the props
`mirror.soundRange`	`12.0`	Metres the sounds carry (quieter further away)
`mirror.rate`	`100`	Milliseconds between updates the playing player sends

Hotwiring

Setting	Default	What it does
`enabled`	`true`	`false` turns hotwiring off
`key`	`'G'`	Default key. Players can rebind it in Settings › Key Bindings › FiveM
`command`	`'hotwire'`	The chat command
`item`	`'wire_strippers'`	Item needed to hotwire, `false` for none
`breakChance`	`0.35`	Chance the item breaks when an attempt fails
`giveKeys`	`false`	Give keys after a successful hotwire. See Hotwiring and keys
`devMode`	`false`	Admins can hotwire any car and get the fitting tools. Keep it off on live servers
`maxStrikes`	`3`	Mistakes before the attempt fails and the alarm goes off
`timeLimit`	`240`	Seconds before an attempt expires
`alarmTime`	`30`	Seconds the alarm sounds after a failed attempt
`shockDamage`	`8`	Health lost to a short circuit
`vehicleTypes`	`{ automobile = true }`	Which vehicle types can be hotwired
`screws.turns`	`4`	Full turns to undo a screw
`screws.maxSpeed`	`3.5`	Turns per second before the screwdriver slips
`strip.maxSpeed`	`0.05`	How fast the insulation can be pulled before the copper is nicked
`crank.earliest` / `crank.latest`	`900` / `2200`	The engine catches at a random time between these (ms)
`crank.window`	`800`	Milliseconds the engine stays catchable; holding longer burns the starter wire
`minTime`	`10`	Seconds: a faster success is rejected as cheating
`minRewireTime`	`5`	The same, when the cover was already off
`minReconnectTime`	`3`	The same, when the car was hotwired before

Where the steering column sits in a car (rig, classFits, vehicleFits) and the camera are set up for every vanilla car already. See Fitting the column to adjust one.

Lockpicking

Setting	Default	What it does
`enabled`	`true`	`false` turns lockpicking off
`key`	`'G'`	Default key: on foot it picks a door, in the driver's seat `G` hotwires
`command`	`'lockpick'`	The chat command
`prompt`	`true`	Show "Press G to pick the lock" next to a locked door
`target`	`true`	Add "Pick the lock" to car doors with ox_target or qb-target
`item`	`'lishi_pick'`	Item needed to pick a lock, `false` for none
`breakChance`	`1.0`	Chance the pick is lost when it snaps
`devMode`	`false`	Admins can pick any lock and get the fitting tools. Keep it off on live servers
`doors`	`{ 'dside_f' }`	Which doors have a lock: `dside_f`, `pside_f`, `dside_r`, `pside_r`
`reach`	`1.3`	Metres from the lock you can start picking
`maxStrikes`	`3`	Times the pick bends before it snaps
`timeLimit`	`180`	Seconds before an attempt expires
`jamTime`	`120`	Seconds a lock stays jammed by a snapped pick tip
`alarmTime`	`30`	Seconds the alarm sounds
`defaultAlarm`	`0.2`	Chance the alarm goes off when a picked door is opened
`classAlarm`	per class	The same chance, per vehicle class
`liftSensitivity`	`1.0`	How far the mouse lifts the pick
`torch`	`0.6`	A soft light so the lock can be read at night, `0` for none
`minTime`	`6`	Seconds: a faster success is rejected as cheating

Difficulty

How hard a lock is depends on the car's class. Every lock has 8 wafer positions; cheaper locks leave some empty.

minigames/lockpick/config.lua
difficulty = {
    easy = { wafers = 4, overset = 1.0, speed = 3.2 },
    medium = { wafers = 5, overset = 0.8, speed = 2.8 },
    hard = { wafers = 6, overset = 0.6, speed = 2.4 },
    expert = { wafers = 7, overset = 0.45, speed = 2.0 },
},
defaultDifficulty = 'medium',

Value	What it does
`wafers`	How many of the 8 positions have a wafer
`overset`	How far (mm) a set wafer can be pushed past the shear line before it jams. Smaller is harder
`speed`	How fast (mm per second) a binding wafer gives. Smaller is slower and needs more care

classDifficulty picks one of these per vehicle class: compacts are easy, sports cars hard, super cars and emergency vehicles expert. Classes not listed use defaultDifficulty.
