Config List Generator

Vehicle config list filtering and random selection system. Used for generating lists of vehicles that match specific criteria (e.g., for dealerships, traffic, career mode).

Overview

util_configListGenerator provides filtering and weighted random selection of vehicle configurations. Supports whitelist/blacklist filters on vehicle attributes (type, year, brand, etc.) with probability-weighted selection across filter groups.

Internals

Eligible Vehicle Filtering

getEligibleVehicles() excludes:

• Props (Type.Prop, Type.PropParked, Type.PropTraffic)
• Utility vehicles (Type.Utility)
• Vehicles without a Value
• Auxiliary vehicles (unless allowAuxiliaryVehicles is true)
• Loaded trailers (unless allowLoadedTrailers is true)

Filter Structure

Filters use whitelist/blacklist with attribute matching:

local filter = {
  whiteList = {
    Type = {"Car", "Truck"},
    Years = {min = 1990, max = 2020},
    Brand = {"Gavril"}
  },
  blackList = {
    Type = {"Electric"}
  },
  probability = 5  -- Weight for random selection
}

Attribute Matching

• Dict attributes (Brand, Type, etc.): Checked against vehicleInfo.aggregates[attr] lookup dict.
• Years: Range-checked against aggregates.Years.min/max.
• Numeric attributes: Range-checked with min/max.
• Other attributes: Exact value match.

Random Selection

1. Filters are chosen by probability weight.
2. A random model is selected from filtered configs.
3. A random config for that model is selected by popAttribute (default: "Population").
4. Selection without replacement-chosen configs are removed from the pool.

How It Works

1. Call getEligibleVehicles() to get the base vehicle pool.
2. Call getRandomVehicleInfos(filterSet, count) with a filter set containing filter and optional subFilters.
3. SubFilters are merged with the base filter to create aggregated filter variants.
4. The system picks filters by probability, then picks vehicles matching that filter.

Lua Examples

-- Get all eligible vehicles
local vehicles = extensions.util_configListGenerator.getEligibleVehicles()

-- Get 10 random vehicles matching a filter set
local filterSet = {
  filter = {
    whiteList = { Type = {"Car"} }
  },
  subFilters = {
    { whiteList = { Brand = {"Gavril"} }, probability = 3 },
    { whiteList = { Brand = {"ETK"} }, probability = 2 },
  }
}
local picks = extensions.util_configListGenerator.getRandomVehicleInfos(filterSet, 10)

-- Check if a single vehicle passes a filter
local passes = extensions.util_configListGenerator.doesVehiclePassFilter(vehicleInfo, {
  whiteList = { Type = {"Truck"} }
})
