Configuration

Everything is in config.lua. Edit the file, restart the resource. tChirp runs with zero edits.

Access

Who may park-kill a car onto the chirp list. The default is everyone.

A list passes if either entry does. Six frameworks and nine inventories resolve out of the box.

Siren provider

tChirp asks one question: was the siren on? The default, auto, covers every case below, including two ELS resources on one server.

Rename tELS or JLS and you must say so in Config.sirenResources, or it silently stops answering.

The cascade order

With auto, the first provider that recognises the vehicle answers:

tels → lvc / lvc_fleet → els_fivem → jls → als → native

Asking about a vehicle you are not in

LVC, ALS and ELS-FiveM only answer for the vehicle you are in. Asking IsSirenActive about any other car both gets a useless answer and suppresses your own park kill, so do not poll nearby traffic.

My ELS is not one of these

Nothing claims your vehicles, so every park falls through to the native check.

For the second, pinning Config.sirenSystem to the closest match is a workaround, not a fix. Report your ELS and it can be supported directly, as ALS is.

Chirp timing

Ranges are inclusive and drawn fresh per chirp. Min equal to max gives a fixed value; min above max is refused at startup; there is no upper bound. Config.debug prints a line per park kill, sync, chirp and refusal — leave it off on a live server.

Vehicle assignments

Config.chirpAssignments = {
    ['police']  = { sound = 'VEHICLES_HORNS_POLICE_WARNING', ref = 0 },
    ['police2'] = { sound = 'SIREN_PRIORITY', ref = 'DLC_WMSIRENS_SOUNDSET' },
}

sound goes to PlaySoundFromEntity; ref is a soundset name or 0 for these:

A malformed entry — no sound, or a bare number where the table belongs — is reported at startup by model name, not skipped.
