Setting up

Smart Vehicle Setup

Setting up this vehicle with Smart Vehicle is easy. First of all, download the vehicle from your Cfx Portal account and install it as a new resource in your server.

Make sure you do not rename either the Smart Vehicle resource folder or the vehicle resource folder after downloading from Cfx Portal, as this may prevent the resource from working.

Spawn Code

The spawn code for this vehicle is watercarrier for the Non-ELS version and watercarrierels for the ELS version.

Please note that this operates as three separate vehicles:

• watercarrier - This is the main vehicle which lifts containers onto it

• containerwatertank - This is the water tank container

• containercommandounit - This is the command unit with an enterable interior

Setting up the vehicle

To begin using the vehicle, firstly spawn in the vehicle and jump in the drivers seat. This will activate automatic setup via Smart Vehicle, installing the props in.

Controlling the vehicle

To begin controlling the vehicle, jump out and walk nearby to side. An on-screen prompt will appear asking you to press X to begin controlling the vehicle.

With the Water Carrier, you are also able to operate the vehicle whilst in the drivers seat, just press X and then follow the controls below.

Controls

• B - Attach / detach container

• H - Lift container out / in

• A - Rotate Crane Base Left

• D - Rotate Crane Base Right

• W - Rotate Crane Middle Up

• S - Rotate Crane Middle Down

These can be changed in the watercarrier.lua or watercarrierels.lua files.

Editing the Smart Vehicle Controls

All Smart Vehicles are controlled by their own data files, such as recovery.lua. These can be found in the Smart Vehicle resource within the vehicles folder.

To change the controls of your relevant vehicle or the speed of various prop movements, you can make the relevant changes within the lua file here.

For more guidance on editing this data lua file, see our documentation for developers below. Please note, this documentation is not designed to be read without prior knowledge of vehicle development.

Menu

Water Carrier features a working control panel, allowing you to control all elements of the tiller without having to use the keybinds. By default, the menu will work provided you have the resource named "watercarrier" or "watercarrierels" and Smart Vehicle is fully up to date.

The resource is configured to automatically open the menu when you start controlling the vehicle, however this can be disabled in the watercarrier.lua or watercarrierels.lua files within the Smart Vehicle vehicles folder.

menu = { 
        enabled = true,
        resourceName = "watercarrier",
        menuControls = {
            openAuto = true,
            openMenuKey = 311,
            -- Export to open menu should be named openMenu()
        }
    },

Within the menu section you are able to enable/disable the menu, set whether it opens automatically when a player starts controlling and also set the key to open the menu (if you didn't have it open automatically or a player later closes it and wants to reopen).

Editing the menu

To edit the menu, you'll need prior knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS to edit the necessary files. To find these files, open your vehicle resource folder and open the nui folder.

Here you will find the HTML, CSS and JS files which allow you to make changes. For more information on how the menu needs to be setup, see our development documentation on this.
