Two-Post Hydraulic Lift

A server-gated two-post lift that raises a vehicle for underbody access with a synced prop, operator animation and a framed camera, enforcing one occupant at a time.

Description

A two-post hydraulic lift that raises the nearest vehicle for underbody work, spawning a synced lift prop, playing the operator animation and framing the underbody. The server arbitrates occupancy so only one vehicle can ride a given bay at a time — the immersion centerpiece of a quality mechanic shop.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Local occupancy — clients self-grant the lift and two vehicles raise on one bay. Track occupancy on the server and reject the second request.
  • T-posed operator — TaskPlayAnim runs before the dict loads; the mechanic stands frozen.
  • Raw handle over the wire — the vehicle handle is sent instead of a net id, so remote clients can't resolve it.

Corrective re-prompt: Make the server the sole owner of bay occupancy (granted/busy/released), send VehToNet over the network and resolve with NetToVeh, and place the while not HasAnimDictLoaded(dict) do Wait(0) end loop before TaskPlayAnim.

Framework Integration

  • ESX: resolve with exports["es_extended"]:getSharedObject(); restrict lift use to the mechanic job and place the bay coords in a shop config.
  • QBCore: resolve with exports["qb-core"]:GetCoreObject(); bind the toggle to a qb-target/ox_target zone on the bay.
  • QBox: use exports.qbx_core; pair with ox_target boxZones to start the raise/lower without a command.

Profit Potential

$150–$2000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$540). [INFERRED] Priced inside the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper corpus (median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100); an under-served quality prop sits mid-band.

Trend Signal

→ stable — inferred: The hydraulic lift is an evergreen shop-floor immersion prop under-served at quality [inferred].

Sales Angle

Sell it as the centerpiece prop that makes a mechanic shop feel like a real garage — the visual everyone screenshots. Recommended Tebex price $79.
