Troubleshooting

Fixes for the problems people run into most.

On this page

"You have the keys to this vehicle"

The game thinks you own the car. Without a vehicle keys script, everyone has keys to every car, so only admins with devMode on can hotwire. Install one of the supported keys scripts, or test with devMode while setting up.

The car won't stay running after a hotwire

Your keys script turns the engine off for players without keys. Set giveKeys = true in minigames/hotwire/config.lua. See Hotwiring and keys.

The props are missing or look wrong after an update

Players need to reconnect fully (quit FiveM and join again) to load new props. Reconnecting from the F8 console isn't always enough.

The items don't show up

Your inventory reads its items when the server starts. Restart the whole server, not only the resource, and check the item names are exactly wire_strippers and lishi_pick.

The Lishi pick does nothing when used

With qb-inventory the items aren't usable from the inventory: press G at the driver's door instead. With ox_inventory, check the client.export line is in the item's entry (see Installation).

"needs tr_core 1.3.0 or newer"

Your tr_core is older than tr_minigames needs. Update tr_core.

The lock floats off the door of an addon car

The car has no fit yet. Run /lockpick_autofit <model> with devMode on. See Fitting locks to cars.
