Configuration ​

All configuration is done in config.lua. Below is a breakdown of each section.

General Settings ​

lua
Config.OpenMenuKey = 'F9'                        -- Key to open dispatch menu
Config.EnableUnitArrivalNotice = true             -- Notify caller when a unit accepts
Config.EnableMapBlipsForUnits = true              -- Show unit vehicles on the map
Config.AddCallBlips = true                        -- Create blips at call locations
Config.CallBlipDisappearInterval = 500            -- Blip fade time (ms)
Config.DefaultAlertDelayBeforeTriggering = 2      -- Seconds before alert fires
Config.EnableAlertAndDispatchAccessOnlyOnDuty = true  -- Restrict to on-duty only

Job Departments ​

You can configure up to 3 job departments. Each one appears as a column in the dispatch UI.

lua
Config.Job1 = {
    job = 'police',
    label = 'Police Department',
    callCommand = '911',             -- Player command to send message calls
    color = 'blue',                  -- CSS color class for unit display
    blipColor = 3,                   -- Map blip color
    canRequestLocalBackup = true,    -- Request help from same department
    canRequestOtherJobBackup = true, -- Request help from other departments
    forwardCall = true,              -- Can forward calls to other jobs
    canRemoveCall = true,            -- Can delete calls from the board
}

Config.Job2 = {
    job = 'ambulance',
    label = 'EMS',
    callCommand = '103',
    color = 'green',
    blipColor = 2,
    -- ...
}

Config.Job3 = {
    job = 'mechanic',
    label = 'Mechanic',
    callCommand = '202',
    color = 'orange',
    blipColor = 17,
    -- ...
}

Department Linking ​

Map similar jobs to a main department so they share the same dispatch column:

lua
Config.SameDepartementJobs = {
    ['sheriff'] = 'police',
    ['fbi'] = 'police',
    ['state'] = 'police',
}

Players with the sheriff job will appear in the Police column and receive police calls.

Call Blips ​

Customize the default blip appearance for command-triggered calls (e.g. /911):

lua
Config.callCommandSprite = 480      -- Blip sprite ID
Config.callCommandColor = 1         -- Blip color ID

Shooting Alerts ​

Automatic alerts when players fire weapons in configured zones.

lua
Config.EnableShootingAlerts = true
Config.ShotFireIsPriority = false           -- Mark as URGENT call
Config.NPCShootingReport = false            -- Require nearby NPC to "call it in"
Config.NPCReportRadius = 30.0              -- NPC detection distance
Config.NPCReportTime = 5                   -- Seconds for NPC to report
Config.SilencerDontTriggerAlert = true     -- Silenced weapons don't trigger

Shooting Zones ​

Define areas where shooting alerts can trigger:

lua
Config.ShootingZones = {
    { coords = vector3(215.0, -810.0, 30.0), radius = 300.0 },
    { coords = vector3(-1037.0, -2737.0, 20.0), radius = 200.0 },
    -- Add more zones...
}

Whitelists ​

Exempt specific jobs or weapons from triggering shooting alerts:

lua
Config.JobWhitelisted = {
    'police', 'sheriff', 'ambulance',
}

Config.WeaponWhitelisted = {
    'weapon_stungun', 'weapon_fireextinguisher',
}

Vehicle Alerts ​

Carjacking Alerts ​

lua
Config.EnableCarJackingAlert = true
Config.ChanceToGetCarjackingAlert = 0.6     -- 0-1 probability
Config.NPCCarjackReport = false             -- Require NPC witness

Car Theft Alerts ​

lua
Config.EnableCarTheftAlert = true
Config.ChanceToGetCarTheftAlert = 0.5       -- 0-1 probability
Config.NPCCarTheftReport = false            -- Require NPC witness

TIP

Set the chance values between 0 (never triggers) and 1 (always triggers) to balance realism. A value of 0.5 means roughly half of all thefts will generate an alert.
