tRadar

Police traffic radar: two antennas, a target and a fast window each, per-window lock, patrol speed, moving and stationary modes, X/K/Ka bands with doppler audio, a power-on self-test and a tuning fork.

KBX-2200 head with the fast window locked

One dependency, no database.

Requirements

Requirement	Detail
tLib	v1.0 or newer. tRadar declares `tlib_min_version '1.0'` and refuses to start below it
A FiveM server	`lua54` and `node_version '22'`, both declared by tRadar
A vehicle	The unit is dash-mounted and reads patrol speed off the car

No framework is needed. One is consulted only for Config.access.mode = "job", an inventory only for "item".

Install

Extract the resource

Unzip the release on the server into resources/.

Set the load order

cfg

ensure tLib
ensure tRadar

tLib must start first. The wrong order gives No such export — see Troubleshooting.

Choose who can use it

Config.access ships as mode = "everyone". Set a real mode on a live server.

lua

Config.access = {
    mode = "ace",        -- or "everyone", "job", "item", "custom", or a list
    ace  = "tradar.use",
    job  = { police = 0, sheriff = 0, statepolice = 0 },   -- name = MINIMUM grade
}

cfg

add_ace group.police tradar.use allow

Six frameworks resolve for "job" — qbx_core, qb-core, ND_Core, es_extended, ox_core, nat2k15framework — and nine inventories for "item", including ox_inventory, qs-inventory and qb-inventory. Teach anything else to answer in server/sv_access.lua, outside escrow: define tradarPlayerJob, or call tlib.access.registerFramework if your framework has grades. An unresolvable job denies.

Grant admin separately

tradar.admin covers the sound library, the 3D prop editor and the diagnostic trace writer.

cfg

add_ace group.admin tradar.admin allow
add_ace group.admin command.tradar_diag allow

tlib.admin is honoured as a fallback, but it opens the admin surface of every t* resource. tradar_diag is gated on the command, not on tradar.admin, and the server console can always run it.

Deploy and check

Get in a vehicle, press F5, then press PWR on the faceplate.

It works if

F5 puts the unit on screen. A second press opens the remote.
PWR runs a self-test: every window shows 888, then the TEST legend lights green.
Pointed at moving traffic, the target window shows a speed.

Optional surfaces

Surface	Default	Setting
Plate reader	Off	`Config.plateReaderEnabled = true`
Handheld remote	On	`Config.remoteEnabled`

The remote is drawn only in keypad mode. The plate reader keeps no list of its own — it shows whatever a CAD or BOLO resource answers, and never prints CLEAR.

Usage — the controls, and reading the glass.
Configuration — every option.
Troubleshooting — if a step above did not work.
