1. Overview

These modules allow you to lock and unlock vehicles and their inventory using a key. Players don't receive a key automatically.

2. Mission Setup

Vehicle Lock can be configured through a mission module or functions.

For key names, see Class Names.

Sync the module with vehicles and players. Custom keys will be handed to players for every synced vehicle. It is only valid for objects present at mission start.
