# Make Functions

## makeBlip.lua

This module provides simple utilities for adding static or entity-based blips to the minimap.

{% hint style="info" %}
This has basic support for RedM too
{% endhint %}

### **makeBlip(data)**

This function adds a map blip at the provided coordinates and sets various display properties such as sprite, color, scale, and more.

It also handles attaching a preview image to the blip if certain resources are running and a preview is provided.

**Example:**

```lua
local blipData = {
    coords = vector3(123.4, 567.8, 90.1),
    sprite = 1,
    col = 2,
    scale = 0.8,
    disp = 4,
    category = 7,
    name = "My Blip",
    preview = "http://example.com/preview.png"
}
local blip = makeBlip(blipData)
```

***

### **makeEntityBlip(data)**

This function adds a map blip attached to the provided entity and sets various display properties such as sprite, color, scale, and more.

It also handles attaching a preview image to the blip if certain resources are running and a preview is provided.

**Example:**

```lua
local blipData = {
    entity = myEntity,
    sprite = 1,
    col = 2,
    scale = 0.8,
    disp = 4,
    category = 7,
    name = "Entity Blip",
    preview = "http://example.com/preview.png"
}
local blip = makeEntityBlip(blipData)
```

## makePed.lua

This module provides tools to create persistent or distance-based NPCs with optional animations, scenarios, and config randomization.

### **makeDistPed(data, coords, freeze, collision, scenario, anim, synced)**

Creates a ped that only spawns when nearby (performance optimization).

**Example:**

```lua
makeDistPed({model = "a_m_y_business_03" },                                 -- model data
    vector4(450.0, -980.0, 30.0, 100.0),                                    -- coords
    true,                                                                   -- freeze entity
    false,                                                                  -- collision
    'WORLD_HUMAN_STAND_IMPATIENT',                                          -- Scenario Animation
    { dict = "amb@world_human_clipboard@male@idle_a", anim = "idle_c" },    -- Anim Table
    true                                                                    -- Network Synced
)
```

***

### **makePed(data, coords, freeze, collision, scenario, anim, synced)**

Spawns a ped with more persistent behavior at the given location.

Supports animation playback and freezing.

**Example:**

```lua
makePed({model = "a_m_y_business_03" },                                 -- model data
    vector4(450.0, -980.0, 30.0, 100.0),                                    -- coords
    true,                                                                   -- freeze entity
    false,                                                                  -- collision
    'WORLD_HUMAN_STAND_IMPATIENT',                                          -- Scenario Animation
    { dict = "amb@world_human_clipboard@male@idle_a", anim = "idle_c" },    -- Anim Table
    true                                                                    -- Network Synced
)
```

***

### **GenerateRandomPedData(data)**

Returns randomized ped model/configuration based on input table.

Useful for dynamic NPC generation.

**Example:**

```lua
local pedData = GenerateRandomPedData({ model = `MP_M_Freemode_01`, custom = {} })
```

***

##

## makeProp.lua

This module allows you to spawn static or distance-loaded props in the world.

### **makeProp(data, freeze, synced)**

This function loads the model, creates the object, sets its heading, and freezes it if specified.**Example:**

```lua
local propData = {
    prop = 'prop_chair_01a',
    coords = vector4(123.4, 567.8, 90.1, 180.0)
}
local prop = makeProp(propData, true, false)
```

***

### **makeDistProp(data, freeze, synced, range)**

Same as `makeProp`, but only spawns if the player is within the specified range.

**Example:**

```lua
local propData = {
    prop = 'prop_chair_01a',
    coords = vector4(123.4, 567.8, 90.1, 180.0)
}
makeDistProp(propData, true, false)
```

***

### **destroyProp(entity)**

Removes a previously created or targeted prop from the world.

**Example:**

<pre class="language-lua"><code class="lang-lua"><strong>destroyProp(barrel)
</strong></code></pre>

***

##

## makeVeh.lua

This module provides functionality for spawning vehicles, including distance-based optimization and entity management.

### **makeVeh(model, coords)**

This function loads the vehicle model, creates the vehicle in the world at the given coordinates, sets initial properties, and returns the vehicle handle.

**Example:**

```lua
local vehicle = makeVeh("adder", vector3(250.0, -1000.0, 30.0))
```

***

### **makeDistVehicle(data, radius, onEnter, onExit)**

Creates a vehicle that spawns when the player enters a designated polyzone area.

This is used for `jim-parking` to create a static vehicle that can't move

**Example:**

```lua
makeDistVehicle({
    model = "blista",
    coords = vector3(400.0, -800.0, 30.0),
    heading = 180.0
}, 50.0)
```

***

### **removeDistVehicleZone(zoneId)**

Removes a previously created distance-based vehicle zone.

**Example:**

```lua
removeDistVehicleZone("garage_zone_1")
```

***

### **deleteVehicle(vehicle)**

Deletes a specified vehicle entity.

**Example:**

```lua
deleteVehicle(vehicle)
```

***
