## Introduction

* Players with the mechanic job can attach vehicles to "plates" and repair body/engine. This also includes a stash, job vehicles and a clock in/out location

## Configuration

### General

```lua
Config = {}

Config.AttachedVehicle = nil -- changes dynamically, don't edit

Config.AuthorizedIds = { -- players authorized to use hire/fire commands
    "insertcitizenidhere",
}

Config.Vehicles = { -- list of job vehicles that can be withdrawn
    ["flatbed"] = "Flatbed",
    ["towtruck"] = "Towtruck",
    ["minivan"] = "Minivan (Rental Car)",
    ["blista"] = "Blista",
}
```

### Locations

```lua
Config.Locations = {
    ["exit"] = vector3(-339.04, -135.53, 39), -- location for map blip
    ["duty"] = vector3(-323.39, -129.6, 39.01), -- interaction location
    ["stash"] = vector3(-319.49, -131.9, 38.98), -- interaction location
    ["vehicle"] = vector4(-370.51, -107.88, 38.35, 72.56), -- interaction location
}

Config.Plates = { -- repair locations that "locks" vehicle in place
    [1] = { -- polyzone box data
        coords = vector4(-340.95, -128.24, 39, 160.0),
        boxData = {
            heading = 340,
            length = 5,
            width = 2.5,
            debugPoly = false
        },
        AttachedVehicle = nil, -- changes dynamically, don't edit
    },
    [2] = {
        coords = vector4(-326.78, -144.82, 39.06, 70),
        boxData = {
            heading = 249,
            length = 6.5,
            width = 5,
            debugPoly = false
        },
        AttachedVehicle = nil,
    },
}
```

### Vehicle parts

```lua
Config.MaxStatusValues = { -- the maximum health of the given part
    ["engine"] = 1000.0,
    ["body"] = 1000.0,
    ["radiator"] = 100,
    ["axle"] = 100,
    ["brakes"] = 100,
    ["clutch"] = 100,
    ["fuel"] = 100,
}

Config.ValuesLabels = { -- the label of the given part in the repair menu
    ["engine"] = "Motor",
    ["body"] = "Body",
    ["radiator"] = "Radiator",
    ["axle"] = "Drive Shaft",
    ["brakes"] = "Brakes",
    ["clutch"] = "Clutch",
    ["fuel"] = "Fuel Tank",
}

Config.RepairCost = { -- the item that is needed to repair the given part
    ["body"] = "plastic",
    ["radiator"] = "plastic",
    ["axle"] = "steel",
    ["brakes"] = "iron",
    ["clutch"] = "aluminum",
    ["fuel"] = "plastic",
}

Config.RepairCostAmount = { -- the item and amount that is need to repair a part
    ["engine"] = {
        item = "metalscrap",
        costs = 2,
    },
    ["body"] = {
        item = "plastic",
        costs = 3,
    },
    ["radiator"] = {
        item = "steel",
        costs = 5,
    },
    ["axle"] = {
        item = "aluminum",
        costs = 7,
    },
    ["brakes"] = {
        item = "copper",
        costs = 5,
    },
    ["clutch"] = {
        item = "copper",
        costs = 6,
    },
    ["fuel"] = {
        item = "plastic",
        costs = 5,
    },
}
```

### Vehicle part damage

```lua
Config.Damages = { -- These are the menu labels for the respective part 
    ["radiator"] = "Radiator",
    ["axle"] = "Drive Shaft",
    ["brakes"] = "Brakes",
    ["clutch"] = "Clutch",
    ["fuel"] = "Fuel Tank",
}

Config.MinimalMetersForDamage = { -- vehicle driving distance range
    [1] = {
        min = 8000, -- minimum range for damage to occur
        max = 12000, -- maximum range for damage to occur
        multiplier = {
            min = 1, -- minimum damage multiplier
            max = 8, -- maximum damage multiplier 
        }
    },
    [2] = {
        min = 12000,
        max = 16000,
        multiplier = {
            min = 8,
            max = 16,
        }
    },
    [3] = {
        min = 12000,
        max = 16000,
        multiplier = {
            min = 16,
            max = 24,
        }
    },
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.qbcore.org/qbcore-documentation/qbcore-resources/qb-mechanicjob.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
