What Makes It Stand Out

This isn't just an empty lot with some parking spaces. The Impound Lot MLO creates a complete operational facility where players can experience realistic vehicle recovery procedures. The office interior supports full administrative roleplay—filling out paperwork, checking vehicle records, processing payment, and coordinating with tow truck drivers. Every detail from the filing cabinets to the security cameras adds to the immersive experience.

The outdoor lot organization allows for proper vehicle categorization. Police can store evidence vehicles separately from routine traffic tows, making it easier to manage different retrieval procedures and access permissions. The secure fencing and gate controls create opportunities for criminal roleplay as well—breaking into the impound to steal cars back adds risk and excitement to the criminal economy.

Performance optimization ensures the detailed facility doesn't impact server stability, even with dozens of vehicles stored in the lot. Proper collision mapping prevents vehicles from glitching through fences or floating, while optimized textures keep the visual quality high without bloating file sizes. The MLO has been tested with various vehicle scripts and garage systems to ensure compatibility.

Roleplay Applications

Police departments can establish realistic traffic enforcement procedures where illegally parked or abandoned vehicles get towed to the impound, requiring owners to pay fees for release. Tow truck companies can operate from the facility, dispatching drivers to accident scenes and broken-down vehicles while processing payments back at the office.

The impound lot creates economic gameplay loops. Vehicle owners must pay impound fees, creating a money sink for the server economy. Tow companies earn revenue from police contracts and civilian calls. Criminals can attempt impound heists to recover seized vehicles, creating police response scenarios and adding risk to the criminal lifestyle.

Government/DOT characters can roleplay as impound lot managers, processing vehicles, conducting auctions for unclaimed cars, and maintaining facility operations. This creates civilian jobs beyond typical server roles while adding realism to vehicle management systems.

Integration Examples

Connect the impound lot with your police MDT systems so officers can mark vehicles for impound and track retrieval status. Integrate with towing scripts to create job routes from breakdown locations to the facility. Link with garage systems so released vehicles spawn in designated pickup zones within the lot.

Set up automated impound timers where vehicles left in no-parking zones automatically get marked for towing after a certain period. Create impound auction events where unclaimed vehicles get sold to the highest bidder, generating server events and economic activity. Configure break-in alerts so security gets notified if someone attempts to steal from the lot.

Requirements

• FiveM server (game build 2545 or higher recommended)
• Compatible with all major impound, towing, and garage scripts
• No framework dependencies (works standalone or with ESX/QBCore/QBOX)
• Optional: police job script, towing script, garage system for full functionality

The Impound Lot MLO transforms vehicle management from a simple teleport system into a fully realized operational facility. Players experience the complete vehicle recovery process—from the tow truck driver hauling cars to the lot, to the office worker processing paperwork, to the vehicle owner paying fees and retrieving their car. This level of detail creates immersive roleplay opportunities that keep players engaged in what could otherwise be a mundane server mechanic.
