How the Panel Works

The control panel is a NUI-based interface that appears when you enter a supported emergency vehicle. It dynamically shows only the buttons that are relevant to the vehicle you're in — determined by the vehicle's configuration file.

Dynamic Button Visibility

When you enter a vehicle, the script reads its config and sends the available features to the UI. For example:

• A police car with blauw, directLinks, directRechts, directCenter, sirene, steadyBlue, and steadyWhite configured will show buttons for all those features.

• A fire truck that also has pitje and waterSprays configured will show those additional buttons.

• Features set to "geen" (none) or omitted entirely will not show a button.

State Indicators

Each button reflects its current state visually:

• Inactive — Default appearance, feature is off

• Active — Highlighted or lit up, feature is on

• The siren, dual siren, and rumbler siren each have their own independent state indicators.

Panel Position & Appearance

By default, the panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can:

• Drag it to a custom position using /CP-edit

• Reset to default with /CP-reset

• Change theme via the settings panel (/cp-settings)

• Hide completely with /hideUI

Your position and theme preferences are stored locally (via FiveM's KVP system) and persist across sessions.

Multiplayer Synchronization

All actions performed via the control panel are synchronized across all players. This includes:

• Blue lights and all other extras-based lighting

• Siren start, stop, and tone changes

• Horn activation

• Dual siren and rumbler siren toggles

• Indicator states (left, right, hazard)

• Traffic adviser position

The sync system uses a combination of StateBag change handlers and server events to ensure that nearby players hear and see the same state. When a new player joins or enters the area, active vehicle states are synced to them automatically.
