## 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Config.Vehicles = { -- list of job vehicles that can be withdrawn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] = {

            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"] = "steel",
    ["brakes"] = "iron",
    ["clutch"] = "aluminum",
    ["fuel"] = "plastic",

        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: 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:

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

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
