client.lua

This file is the client-side police alarm hook. It is intentionally left open so you can plug Car Thief into whatever dispatch system your server uses.

TriggerAlarm

function TriggerAlarm(coords, plate)
    -- TODO implement your police call logic here (client side) or go to
    -- configs/server.lua to implement it server side
 
    TriggerServerEvent("devhub_carThief:server:triggerAlarm", coords, plate)
end

• Description: Called whenever the heist should alert the police — when the thief is caught, and when the thief gets into the stolen vehicle. Add your client-side dispatch call (e.g. a notification, a blip, a ps-dispatch / cd-dispatch trigger) inside this function.
• Parameters:
  • coords (vector3): where the alarm was raised.
  • plate (string): license plate of the stolen vehicle (may be nil).
• Note: By default it forwards the alarm to the server (devhub_carThief:server:triggerAlarm) so you can also handle it in server.lua. Keep this line if you handle dispatch server-side.
