Installation

1. Requirements

• A FiveM server on a recent artifact build.
• aty_lib installed and started before this resource (the framework/inventory/target bridge).
• One of QBCore, ESX or Qbox (auto-detected through aty_lib).

2. Install

1. Drop the aty_zonecreator folder into your resources directory (inside a category folder is fine, e.g. [aty]/aty_zonecreator).
2. Make sure aty_lib starts first, then add the resource to your server.cfg:

ensure aty_lib
ensure aty_zonecreator

3. (Optional) For zone ambient sounds, also install and start aty_3dsound and fill in the URLs in config.lua. Without it, zones still work — the sound step is simply skipped.

3. Grant admin access

The panel is admin-only. Pick one of the methods below (details in Permissions & Roles):

# ACE (works on any framework)
add_ace group.admin command.zonecreator allow

or rely on your framework's admin permission (QBCore admin/god, ESX admin/superadmin) — both are configured out of the box.

4. Open it

In-game, run:

/zonemanager

The management panel opens. Draw your first zone from Add Zone (top-right).

5. Storage

By default zones are stored in a local zones.json file inside the resource. To use a database instead, set Config.Storage = 'oxmysql' — the aty_zones table is created automatically on first start. See the config reference.

Updating

Replace the resource folder with the new version and restart it. Your config.lua is listed in escrow_ignore, and zones.json / the aty_zones table are untouched by updates — your zones and settings are preserved.
