Showroom

Manages a simple showroom prefab for displaying vehicles in a clean environment.

Overview

util_showroom spawns and manages a garage prefab at a high altitude position (y=1000), providing functions to move vehicles inside and check if the camera/vehicle is within the showroom bounds.

Internals

Prefab

Path: art/prefabs/garage_simple.prefab
Spawned at vec3(0, 0, 1000) - high above the level to avoid collisions with terrain.

Lazy Loading

The prefab is spawned on first use (when localToWorld is called). It persists until the mission ends.

Position Check

isInside(pos) uses a simple distance check (< 20m) from the prefab origin. If no position is provided, it uses the player vehicle position or camera position.

Cleanup

onClientEndMission deletes the prefab and calls be:reloadCollision().

How It Works

1. First call to moveInside or isInside triggers prefab spawning.
2. moveInside(veh) teleports the vehicle to the showroom center.
3. isInside() checks proximity to determine if the camera/vehicle is in the showroom.
4. Prefab is cleaned up when the mission ends.

Lua Examples

local showroom = extensions.util_showroom

-- Move current vehicle into showroom
local veh = getPlayerVehicle(0)
showroom.moveInside(veh)

-- Check if player is in showroom
if showroom.isInside() then
  print("In showroom")
end

-- Get showroom position
local pos, rot = showroom.getPosRot()
