Modular Car Lift Garage

Car Garage
Car Garage allows players to safely store and retrieve modular cars directly from a Modular Car Lift using a clean, easy-to-use garage interface.

Instead of leaving valuable vehicles exposed outside, players can place a modular car on a lift, open the garage menu, and store it for later use. Stored cars are organized by chassis size, making it easy to browse and retrieve 2-module, 3-module, and 4-module vehicles.

Features

• Store modular cars directly from a Modular Car Lift
• Retrieve stored cars back onto the lift
• Separate lists for 2-module, 3-module, and 4-module cars
• Displays the modules and engine parts installed on each saved car
• Saves the car’s chassis health
• Saves module condition
• Saves installed engine parts and their condition
• Saves fuel and water amounts
• Saves the vehicle code lock when possible
• Displays stored-car usage and the player’s storage limit
• Prevents retrieval when the lift is already occupied
• Prevents storing a car when its storage modules contain items
• Localized UI and messages
• Configurable permission-based storage limits
• Automatically clears stored vehicle data on a new map save
• Stored cars are destroyed without spawning unwanted gibs

Vehicle storage containers must be emptied before the car can be stored. Engine parts, fuel, and water do not need to be removed because they are saved with the vehicle.

Permissions

Storage limits are controlled through configurable permission tiers. Each permission can have its own maximum number of stored cars.

Default permissions:

• cargarage.use - Allows the player to store up to 2 cars
• cargarage.vip - Allows the player to store up to 5 cars
• cargarage.admin - Allows the player to store up to 10 cars

Grant a permission to a player:

oxide.grant user PLAYERNAME cargarage.use

Grant a permission to a group:

oxide.grant group vip cargarage.vip

If a player has more than one Car Garage permission, the plugin uses the permission with the highest storage limit.

Permission Configuration

Permissions and storage limits can be changed or expanded in the configuration file:

{
  "Permission needed and total cars allowed": {
    "cargarage.use": {
      "How many cars the player is allowed to store": 2,
      "Save items inside vehicle storage modules": true,
      "Storage module item blacklist (item shortnames)": [
        "ammo.rocket.basic",
        "ammo.rocket.hv",
        "ammo.rocket.fire",
        "ammo.rocket.sam",
        "ammo.rocket.mlrs",
        "explosive.timed",
        "explosives",
        "sulfur",
        "sulfur.ore"
      ]
    },
    "cargarage.vip": {
      "How many cars the player is allowed to store": 5,
      "Save items inside vehicle storage modules": false,
      "Storage module item blacklist (item shortnames)": [
        "ammo.rocket.basic",
        "ammo.rocket.hv",
        "ammo.rocket.fire",
        "ammo.rocket.sam",
        "ammo.rocket.mlrs",
        "explosive.timed",
        "explosives",
        "sulfur",
        "sulfur.ore"
      ]
    },
    "cargarage.admin": {
      "How many cars the player is allowed to store": 10,
      "Save items inside vehicle storage modules": false,
      "Storage module item blacklist (item shortnames)": [
        "ammo.rocket.basic",
        "ammo.rocket.hv",
        "ammo.rocket.fire",
        "ammo.rocket.sam",
        "ammo.rocket.mlrs",
        "explosive.timed",
        "explosives",
        "sulfur",
        "sulfur.ore"
      ]
    }
  },
  "Version": {
    "Major": 2,
    "Minor": 0,
    "Patch": 1
  }
}

After adding a new permission, reload the plugin and grant that permission to the appropriate players or groups.

How It Works

1. Place a modular car on a Modular Car Lift.
2. Open the lift inventory.
3. Press STORE CAR.
4. The plugin records the supported vehicle information and removes the car from the lift.
5. Open the garage again and select a stored vehicle.
6. Press RETRIEVE CAR to spawn it back onto the lift.

Car Garage provides players with a convenient vehicle storage system while giving server owners complete control over storage limits through Oxide permissions.
