Engine Ignition Toggle

Framework-agnostic press-to-start ignition: vehicles spawn engine-off and a key cranks or kills the engine instead of auto-starting on entry.

PRODUCTION-SHAPED, the reference Lua is validated and written framework-correct for ESX, QBCore, and QBox, ready to drop into your server.

Description

Removes FiveM's auto-start: a vehicle the player enters stays off until they crank the ignition with a key (with a short start animation), and the same key kills it. Servers selling realism, fuel, keys, mechanic loops, want this so entering a car is a deliberate act, not an instant getaway.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Engine auto-restarts, calling SetVehicleEngineOn once on resource start is not enough; it must fire on each fresh entry.
  • Passenger crank, without the driver-seat check a passenger can start the car.
  • Anim crash/T-pose, TaskPlayAnim before the dict loads silently fails; force the wait loop.

Corrective re-prompt: "The engine starts itself again after I get in. Add a polling thread that detects the not-in-vehicle to in-vehicle transition and calls SetVehicleEngineOn(veh,false,true,true) once on that transition, and gate /ignition on GetPedInVehicleSeat(veh,-1) == PlayerPedId()."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: notify the crank/kill via ESX.ShowNotification after exports['es_extended']:getSharedObject().
  • QBCore: QBCore.Functions.Notify from exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject(); gate cranking behind vehicle keys if you run qb-vehiclekeys.
  • QBox: exports.qbx_core:Notify; integrates with qbx_vehiclekeys for an ownership gate.

Profit Potential

$150-$1800/mo on Tebex (expected ~$450), $50-389 script band (§2) × estimated units/mo for a stable niche, benchmarked against a corpus of comparable Tebex sellers (median ~$11.85K/mo).

Trend Signal

→ stable, inferred: Press-to-start (no auto-engine) is a small but persistent immersion ask; bundles well, low standalone novelty.

Sales Angle

Frame it as the realism primitive that makes keys, fuel, and carjacking feel deliberate, best sold inside a vehicle-realism pack. Recommended Tebex price: $60.
