Hello everyone, I have a query regarding vehicles on my server.

What happens if I spawn a vehicle for an event on my server using admin tools, do I have to make any changes to any XLM files?

In types.xml - change the lifetime value of the base car (not the various parts such as doors and wheels) to 3888000. Default is 3 seconds, since vehicles are handled by events and don't need a lifetime. But if you spawn it with admin tools the server uses the lifetime in types.xml, so the car will despawn as soon as no player is within sight of the car...

Perfect, thank you, I´ll try it!
