nc-garages

A garage system with public garages, impound, and purchasable personal garages with full interiors.

Overview

Players store and retrieve their vehicles from garages placed around the map. Authorized jobs can impound vehicles with a flatbed tow animation.

How It Works

Public Garages

  1. Walk to a garage NPC or marker
  2. Open the garage UI — see all your stored vehicles with details
  3. Select a vehicle and retrieve it — it spawns at the garage point
  4. To store: drive your vehicle near the garage and interact

Impound

  1. Police use /impound near a vehicle — choose duration, self-release toggle
  2. Flatbed truck arrives, NPC driver loads the vehicle and drives away
  3. Vehicle owner visits the impound lot, pays the fee, retrieves their car
  4. Self-release vehicles can be retrieved by the owner without waiting

Purchasable Garages

  1. Visit the garage shop NPC — browse available garages
  2. Purchase a garage — it becomes yours
  3. Walk to your garage entrance — enter the interior
  4. See your vehicles parked in their slots
  5. Get in a vehicle and drive it out
  6. Invite friends to come inside and look around
  7. Move vehicles between slots, customize the interior
