Behavior

• work() - Every frame:
  1. Gets the inventory ID of the vehicle in the closest garage via career_modules_inventory.getInventoryIdsInClosestGarage(true).
  2. If a vehicle exists and its velocity is below 0.25, sets parkedInGarage = true.
  3. Every 1 second (sim time timer), updates part conditions via career_modules_inventory.updatePartConditions() if not walking.
  4. Checks repair status via career_modules_insurance_insurance.inventoryVehNeedsRepair() and outputs the inverse as isRepaired.

Key Dependencies

• career_modules_inventory - vehicle inventory lookups
• career_modules_insurance_insurance.inventoryVehNeedsRepair() - repair status check
• gameplay_walk.isWalking() - walking mode check
• map.objects - vehicle physics data (velocity)

Notes

• Uses self.mgr.dtSim (sim time) for the part condition update timer.
• Part condition updates are throttled to once per second to avoid performance issues.
