FiveM Vehicle Spawner v2.1

Standalone vehicle spawner for FiveM. No framework (ESX/QBCore/etc.) required. Notifications are handled via mythic_notify.

Author: choda

Features

• On-screen category menu, opened by default with F5 (players can rebind it in FiveM Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM > "Open Vehicle Spawner Menu")
• Navigate with Up/Down, select with Enter, go back/close with Backspace
• Categorized vehicle list (Sports, SUVs, Off-Road, Motorcycles, Aircraft, Emergency, Utility) — fully editable, and new categories are picked up automatically
• Optional per-category ace permissions — restrict individual categories (e.g. lock "Emergency" to police) while leaving others open, all gated by a single master switch
• Deletes the player's previously spawned vehicle automatically (optional)
• Spawns the player into the driver seat automatically (optional)
• Optional custom plates
• "Delete My Vehicle" utility entry in the menu

Requirements

• A running FiveM server
• mythic_notify installed and started before this resource

Installation

1. Copy the vehiclespawner folder into your server's resources directory.
2. In server.cfg, make sure mythic_notify starts first, then this resource:

   ensure mythic_notify
   ensure vehiclespawner
   

3. Restart your server (or run refresh + ensure vehiclespawner from the server console).

Usage

Press F5 in-game to open the menu. Pick a category, then a vehicle, and it spawns in front of you.

Configuration

All settings live in config.lua.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Config.OpenKey	string	'F5'	Default keybind to open the menu. Players can still rebind it themselves in-game.
Config.UsePermissions	boolean	false	Master switch for permissions. If false, every category is open to everyone and the per-category permission fields are ignored. If true, a category is restricted only if it has a permission set.
Config.DeletePreviousVehicle	boolean	true	Deletes the player's last spawned vehicle when spawning a new one.
Config.SpawnInVehicle	boolean	true	Warps the player into the driver seat after spawning.
Config.SpawnDistance	number	3.0	Distance (units) in front of the player to spawn the vehicle.
Config.SetPlate	boolean	false	Gives spawned vehicles a randomized custom plate.
Config.PlatePrefix	string	'CHODA'	Prefix used for custom plates (only applies if SetPlate is true).
Config.MenuTitle	string	'Vehicle Spawner v2.1'	Title shown at the top of the menu.
Config.NotifyDuration	number	5000	How long (ms) mythic_notify alerts stay on screen.
Config.Vehicles	table	see below	Categories and vehicles shown in the menu, each with its own optional permission.

Enabling permissions

Set Config.UsePermissions = true. This is the master switch — with it false, no permission checks happen at all, regardless of what's set per category.

Once enabled, each category decides its own access via its permission field (see below). Categories with permission = nil stay open to everyone even with the master switch on; only categories with a permission string get gated. The server checks these with IsPlayerAceAllowed and only sends the player the categories they're allowed to see.

Grant a category's permission in server.cfg, e.g. to restrict the Emergency category to a police group:

add_ace group.police vehiclespawner.emergency allow
add_principal identifier.license:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx group.police

Editing the vehicle list & categories

Config.Vehicles is a table of categories. Each category has an optional permission and a vehicles list of { label, model } entries:

Config.Vehicles = {
    ['Sports'] = {
        permission = nil, -- open to everyone
        vehicles = {
            { label = 'Adder', model = 'adder' },
            { label = 'Zentorno', model = 'zentorno' },
        },
    },
    ['My Custom Category'] = {
        permission = 'vehiclespawner.mycustomcategory', -- only checked if Config.UsePermissions = true
        vehicles = {
            { label = 'My Custom Car', model = 'mycustomcar' },
        },
    },
}

• permission is optional. Omit it (or set to nil) to leave the category unrestricted; set it to an ace permission string to gate that category specifically.
• label is what's displayed in the menu.
• model is the vehicle's spawn code (vanilla vehicle name, or an added vehicle's model name).
• Add, remove, or rename categories and vehicles freely — new categories (with or without a permission) are picked up automatically, no other code changes needed.
• The special model = 'delete' entry (see the Utility category) deletes the player's current or last-spawned vehicle instead of spawning one.
