Vehicle MinigamesFitting fillers to cars

Fitting fillers to cars

Put the fuel filler on addon cars, automatically or by hand.

On this page

The siphon puts a fuel filler on each car, where a filler usually is on that body. Every GTA car is fitted already (in minigames/siphon/fits.json). Addon cars need fitting once, which tr_minigames can do for you.

Automatically

Stand somewhere open (the camera goes up to 2.5 m out from the car's side) and run:

/filler_autofit

It goes through every car model on your server that has no fit yet, addon and escrowed cars included, with nobody at the keyboard: a few seconds a car. It reads the drawn bodywork and puts the filler on plain, smooth paint over the back of the rear wheel arch, clear of the doors, the windows and the tail light. On a lorry with a side tank it goes in the middle of the tank.

KeyWhat it does
EscStop after the car on screen. Run it again to carry on where it stopped
BackspaceSkip this car
CWait on the next fitted car, zoomed out, until C again

It prints what it found for each car to F8. At the end it lists the cars it couldn't fit, and marks the fits it wasn't sure about as check.

CommandWhat it does
/filler_autofitFit every car that has no fit yet
/filler_autofit redoAlso refit cars that were fitted automatically before. Fits made by hand are never overwritten
/filler_autofit <model>Fit one car
/filler_autofit <model> showFit one car and show what it measured for 8 seconds
/filler_forceautoRefit every car, replacing fits made by hand too. A car it can't fit keeps its old fit

By hand

For the cars autofit couldn't do, or the ones it marked check:

/filler_fitall review

This brings up each car with the filler where the siphon would put it, one after another. Move it so the bezel sits flat on the paint. The yellow dot is the car's fuel tank bone, if it has one.

KeyWhat it does
Arrows / WASDMove the filler along the car and up or down
Q / EOut of / into the car
ScrollTilt it up or down
Z / XTurn it left or right
Shift1 mm (and a quarter degree) a press instead of 5 mm
FThe other side of the car
CWide view
RUndo your changes
EnterSave and show the next car
BackspaceSkip
EscStop

Holding a move or turn key keeps it going after a moment. /filler_fitall (without review) brings up every car without a fit, /filler_fitall all every car, and /filler_fitall <model> one.

A car without a fuel tank bone is fitted on one side, and the fit is mirrored to the side the player stands. Cars with exactly the same body share a fit.

Where fits are saved

Fits from both tools go to minigames/siphon/fits.json, one line per model, and reach every player straight away. They win over vehicleFits in the config.
