Plate Format

When players purchase a new vehicle, you can customise the vehicle licence plate that will be generated for them. Your car plate can have letters, numbers, and spaces. It should be up to 8 characters long.

How to Write Your Plate Format

• Use A for any random letter.
• Use 1 for any random number.
• Want a specific letter or number to always show up? Put a ^ before it.

Examples

• All Random Letters: AAAAAAAA gives something like GHTPAXZQ.
• Mix of Letters, Spaces and Numbers: AA11 1AA makes something like GH49 8KJ.
• Fixed Letter or Number: ^Z123 A^B1 always has Z at the start and B in the second part, like Z456 XB4.
  • For example, in the UK you would have a fixed year section, so you could use AA^2^4 AAA, which would give something like MA24 UAW.

Quick Steps

1. Open the config.lua file
2. Find Config.PlateFormat
3. Change it using A for letters, 1 for numbers, and ^ for fixed characters.

Customisation

If you're a developer and would like more control, the function is open source (Framework.Server.VehicleGeneratePlate) and can be found in framework/sv-functions.lua.
