# 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

|                        | Applies to                          | Setup needed                                    |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| 🟠 **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:

* [ ] The 3 folders from your purchase: `1370_driveby_v35`, `1370_driveby_driver`, `1370_driveby_elite`
* [ ] FTP/file access to your server's `resources` folder
* [ ] Access to edit `server.cfg`
* [ ] (Optional) The add-on vehicles you want Gang/Driver/Elite on, with their `vehicles.meta` editable

***

### Install

**1.** Drop all 3 folders into `resources/`, unchanged.

**2.** Add to `server.cfg`, in this order:

```
ensure 1370_driveby_v35
ensure 1370_driveby_driver
ensure 1370_driveby_elite
```

If you run our `drivebycars` pack (or any other add-on vehicles set up for these styles), its `ensure` goes right after:

```
ensure drivebycars
```

**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:

```xml
<layout>LAYOUT_1370_DRIVER_STD</layout>
```

| Want this style                     | Use this layout name                                |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 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

| Symptom                                            | Likely cause                              | Fix                                                                                                                  |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 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.
