Usage
What tChirp treats as a park kill, the front-seat rule, what /tchirp shows, and what the server refuses from a client.
No keybind, nothing to operate. /tchirp only answers questions.
What counts as a park kill
All three must be true as a player leaves a vehicle:
- They were in a front seat — driver or front passenger.
- The vehicle's siren was on at the last check before they left.
- The vehicle's model is in
Config.chirpAssignments.
The siren is sampled every 500 ms, and the exit is judged against the previous sample.
The front-seat rule
A front seat — driver or passenger — both arms and clears a chirp, and nothing chirps while one is occupied. The chirp plays from the vehicle, so it fades as you walk away.
/tchirp
Open to anyone, no ACE. Read-only — there is no /tchirpedit. Two sidebar entries: Status, below, and Feedback, which sends one message to TIMMYG Studios rather than to this server's staff.
| Row | Answers |
|---|---|
| Will chirp on park | Has this car an entry, and which sound. With none it prints the model hash |
| Siren right now | On or off, and which provider answered |
| Chirping now | How many vehicles are on the list server-wide, as last heard |
| Silence … Nm away | The one action. Only when something is chirping within 50 m |
| Provider · N models configured | The provider and timing from config.lua |
Every row above is on Status. The assignment key is the spawn name. On foot the first two rows become Not in a vehicle. Silence takes the nearest chirping car off the list, the same as someone getting in.
What the server refuses
The server re-checks every park kill against its own config.lua:
| When the server can | It requires |
|---|---|
| see the vehicle and its model | exactly the tone that model is assigned. Another configured tone is refused, not corrected |
| see the vehicle, whose model has no assignment | nothing — refused outright |
| not see the vehicle at all | a tone this server has configured somewhere |
Both events are rate-limited at 12 per 10 seconds per player.
Cleanup
Entries whose vehicle no longer exists are swept every 5 seconds, after a 5-second grace period. Stopping the resource releases every sound.
