Useful Commands: Vehicles

Everyone wants to have a nice, rapid and perfectly functional personal car, but you also need to know how to control your own vehicles. Below you'll find a list of all the command that can be applied to vehicles.

/vehicles

This command represents the control panel of all the personal vehicles of a player. The /vehicles command has some alternatives for accessing the control panel as: /v, /garage and /g. All this commands take you to the same place, the control panel. After using one of this commands, the server will show you a list of all the owned vehicles using the following model:

• The ID of the vehicle's slot
• The name of the vehicle
• It's status (available, busy, hidden)
• After how much time the vehicle is going to be despawned.

Because of SA:MP servers' limitations, the players having a Premium Account will be able to spawn a maximum of 4 vehicles at the same time, and those without a Premium Account will be able to spawn a maximum of 2 vehicles at the same time.

By selecting a vehicle from the list, the server gives you some options for controlling your vehicle. Controlling options:

• Information - You'll be given some information like: model, price, colors, kilometers, insurances, insurance price.
• Locate - You'll be set a checkpoint at the vehicle's position.
• Tow - You vehicle will be respawned at it's parking place. This service's price is $10.
• Spawn/Despawn - Using this command you'll be able to make your car appear/disappear temporarily from the server.
• Unstuck - This option can be useful when your vehicle has been parked wrong and can no longer be used (example: in a wall, in the water). The vehicle will be parked in a secure location. After that, use the locating service to find it easier.
• Sell - Using this option you can sell your vehicle to the DealerShip, only if you are around it.

By default, a player has 4 vehicle slots, that can be supplimented from the Shop.
