Vehicle Storage, Keys and Impound Resources

Where a player car goes when they log off decides how a server feels. Filed into a menu, cars are inventory. Left where they parked, the map keeps its traffic and a driveway means something. This shelf holds both approaches, plus the keys and the impound that go with them.

Persistent parking or filed storage

Persistent parking saves the position and hands the car back where it was, with the same damage, parts and fuel. Filed storage puts it into a building and hands back a clean copy on request. The first keeps the city looking lived in and is lighter to run. The second is easier to police and avoids a map full of abandoned vehicles. Pick the one that matches how tidy you want your streets.

Access rules are the real difference

Compare the access model, not the interface. Whether a location can be limited to a job or a crew, whether a player can share a car with a friend, whether an owner can be forced to use one location rather than any. Those rules are what make a garage part of the world instead of a button.

Keys and impound

A keyless entry resource covers the small daily moment of locking a car, and it is worth having whichever storage resource you run. Impound is the other half: who can seize a vehicle, what it costs to release, how long the owner waits, and whether an officer has to be involved. That last setting is what gives police a tool rather than a fine.

Shells to build a lot from

Garage shell packs are streamed interiors rather than scripts. They give you a building to put a storage location inside, which is only worth the stream size if your storage resource has walk in locations to begin with.

Frequently asked questions

Does persistent parking leave abandoned cars everywhere?

It can, which is why impound matters. A clear up rule and an impound with a release fee keeps the map tidy while still letting players leave a car outside their house.

Will my tuning or sales resource work with these?

Check that all three use the same vehicle table and plate format. That single detail causes most of the cases where a modified car comes back stock or vanishes after a restart.

Do I need a shell pack?

Only if your storage resource supports walk in locations and you want them inside a proper building. Persistent parking and menu based storage do not need one.
