sd_fakeplate

Replace vehicle license plates using items integrated with ox_inventory and ox_lib.

Features

• Use a plate item (default: vehicleplate) to set the vehicle's displayed plate.
• Automatically gives you the previous plate back as an item with metadata (label = old plate).
• Progress bar, animation, and prop handling via ox_lib.
• Optional screwdriver durability drain on use.
• Distance and state checks: must be near the plate and outside the vehicle.
• Localized notifications/messages (EN, CS included).

Requirements

• ox_lib (init script and locale enabled)
• ox_inventory (with items configured for your server)

Installation

1. Place this resource into your server resources.
2. Ensure dependencies and this resource in server.cfg:

   ensure ox_lib
   ensure ox_inventory
   ensure sd_fakeplate

3. Configure items in ox_inventory (example):

   -- items.lua (example)
   ["vehicleplate"] = {
       label = "Vehicle plate",
       weight = 100,
       stack = false,
       close = true,
       consume = 0,
   },
   
   ["screwdriver"] = {
       label = "Screwdriver",
       weight = 500,
       stack = false,
       durability = 100,
       consume = 0,
   },

4. Adjust config.lua to match your item names and durability settings.
5. Done.

Usage

• Acquire a vehicleplate item (it will auto-generate a random plate if created without metadata).
• Stand next to a vehicle's plate (≤ 1m, and ≤ 5m from the vehicle), not sitting inside.
• Use the vehicleplate item via ox_inventory. If you have a usable screwdriver, the progress will play and the swap will complete.
• On success:
  • The used plate item is consumed.
  • Your current vehicle plate becomes an item in your inventory (metadata.plate + metadata.label).
  • The vehicle's displayed plate is updated and ox_inventory vehicle data is updated.
  • If enabled, the screwdriver's durability is reduced.

Notes

• The real/original plate is tracked on the entity state (Entity(vehicle).state.plate) to preserve ownership info.
• No commands are provided; the system hooks into ox_inventory:usedItem for the plate item.
