NEW - Drive-By V4
Four drive-by styles, one system. Gang, Take Over, Driver and Elite all run at the same time on your server — no menu to pick one, no conflicts, no extra setup beyond what's below.
What's inside
🟠 Gang Style
Add-on vehicles you configure
Yes — set a <layout> per vehicle
🔵 Take Over Style
Every vanilla vehicle on the server
None — works the moment the resource is running
🟣 Driver Style
Add-on vehicles you configure
Yes — set a <layout> per vehicle
🟡 Elite Style
Add-on vehicles you configure
Yes — set a <layout> per vehicle
Each one animates a different seat, so they never overlap: Take Over is the passenger seat, Driver is the driver's seat, Elite is the rear-right seat, and Gang covers the whole vehicle. That's also why all four can be active on the same server without stepping on each other.
Prerequisites checklist
Before you touch server.cfg, make sure you have:
Install
1. Drop all 3 folders into resources/, unchanged.
2. Add to server.cfg, in this order:
If you run our drivebycars pack (or any other add-on vehicles set up for these styles), its ensure goes right after:
3. Restart the server (full restart, not just these resources).
That's it for Take Over Style — it's already live on every vanilla vehicle. Keep reading if you want Gang, Driver or Elite on specific add-on cars.
Assigning a style to a vehicle
Open that vehicle's vehicles.meta and change its <layout> line:
Driver
LAYOUT_1370_DRIVER_STD
Elite
LAYOUT_1370_ELITE_STD
Gang (standard car)
LAYOUT_DELTA_STD
Gang (low sports car)
LAYOUT_DELTA_LOW
Gang (SUV / van / pickup / offroad)
LAYOUT_DELTA_SUV / _VAN / _PICKUP / _RANGER
Restart the resource (or the server) after editing a vehicles.meta.
Verify it's working
Press F7 or type
/driveb— the menu should list all 4 styles.Sit in any stock/vanilla car → drive-by should already use Take Over Style.
Sit in a vehicle you assigned a layout to → drive-by from the matching seat (driver seat for Driver, rear-right for Elite, any seat for Gang) should use that style's animation.
Troubleshooting
A configured vehicle still uses default animations
ensure order is wrong
The 3 style resources must load before the vehicle resource in server.cfg
Nothing changed after editing vehicles.meta
Resource wasn't restarted
Restart the vehicle's resource (or the server) after any vehicles.meta edit
Take Over doesn't apply to a specific vehicle
That vehicle isn't a "standard" body type
Take Over only covers sedans/coupes/standard cars — vans, pickups and some SUVs use a different native layout family
Drive-by doesn't trigger at all
No weapon equipped
GTA V doesn't allow drive-by unarmed — this is a game limitation, not a bug
FAQ
Can I use only one or two styles instead of all four? Yes. Just don't ensure the resources you don't want, or don't assign their layout to any vehicle.
Do Gang, Driver and Elite work on vanilla vehicles? No — those three only apply to add-on vehicles you've explicitly assigned a layout to. Take Over Style is the one that covers vanilla vehicles automatically.
Can one vehicle use two styles at once? No — a vehicle has one <layout>, so it gets exactly one style. Different vehicles in your server can each use a different style, though.
