beacon

The beacon - known in Dutch as "pitje" - is a removable or pop-up roof light, typically a single magnetic beacon placed on top of the vehicle by hand.

Usage

When toggled, the beacon:

1. 1

   Opens the driver window

   Rolls the driver window down.

2. 2

   Plays a hand animation

   The driver reaches up as if placing a beacon on the roof.

3. 3

   Toggles the configured extras

   Toggles the configured extras on or off.

4. 4

   Closes the window

   Closes the window again after a short delay.

The animation and window interaction are optional and controlled by the beaconAnimationEnabled setting in config.lua.

Configuration

pitje = {9},  -- Extra 9 is the beacon light

Disabling the Animation

If you want the beacon to toggle instantly without the placement animation:

-- In Config.Settings (config.lua)
beaconAnimationEnabled = false,

Exclude from Siren

The beacon is typically listed in excludeSiren to prevent it from activating the native GTA siren effect:

excludeSiren = {'pitje'},
