Documentation
Every Dealership Creator command and console diagnostic, plus the client and server exports for opening showrooms, giving vehicles, moving stock and checking permissions.
Dealership Creator registers two in-game commands and a set of console commands. The in-game ones respect permissions; the console ones exist to explain what the script is thinking, and to fix things when you cannot get into the game.
Command | Where | Description |
|---|---|---|
| In game | Opens the player's window: the dealerships a player owns or works at, their finance plans and preferences. Bound to |
| In game | Opens the creator's window. Admins only — anybody else sees the access screen with their identifier and the line to grant it. The name is |
| Console | Whether player |
| Console | Which of the nine shop rights that player holds at that dealership, and why. |
| Console | Walks every gate between a player and a showroom — enabled, allowed, open, stocked, close enough — and names the one that shut. |
| Console | Every dealership: what the database holds, what the cache holds, and what a client receives. |
| Console | Per dealership, why a buyback selling spot does or does not appear. |
| Client console (F8) | What this client believes about every dealership's counter — where it is, what kind, and whether it was registered. |
| Console | Re-reads settings, dealerships or both from the database without a restart. |
| Console | Sends a test embed to every Discord channel in Config.Webhooks that has a URL, and says which ones Discord accepted. |
| Console | Drops every Dealership Creator table and rebuilds them with the starter content. |
dbresetdeletes every dealership, sale, staff member and setting belonging to Dealership Creator, and there is no undo. It refuses to run from in game, without the wordconfirm, and unless debug is on — setConfig.Debug = true, or start the server with the convarqs-dealership:debug 1. Use it on a test server.
<id> is the player's server id — the number next to their name in the player list.
For opening the interface or a showroom from your own scripts — a laptop prop, a radial menu, a phone app — and for asking about a vehicle.

Registers a vehicle to a player through whichever framework is installed — the same bridge a purchase uses, so it lands in the same garage a bought car does.

exports['qs-dealership']:Notify(source, { type = 'info', title = 'Your order arrived' })Every callback that can refuse returns a locale key, not a sentence: error.no_permission, error.outside_zone, error.dealership_no_funds. That is deliberate — the same failure reads in each player's own language, in all five of them. Log the key in your own scripts, and translate it with the strings in locales/.
