🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Road Nodes Not Always Effective

Not all road nodes in GTA V can be used to divert traffic. Usually intersections, or a specific combination of closed road nodes & placed objects does the trick. This is trial and error.

Resource Not Starting

Ensure the resource is properly added to server.cfg

Check that the resource name is night_prop_system

Verify the resource started without errors in console

Props Not Placing

Check F8 console for any error messages

Verify configuration settings in config.lua

Test with default settings first

Speed Zones Not Working

Ensure speed zone configuration is correct

Check for any zone-related errors in console

Verify menu access permissions

Debugging Tips

Check F8 Console - Look for any error messages
Test Export Functions - Verify exports are working correctly
Verify Configuration - Check all config settings are correct
Test OneSync - Ensure OneSync is properly configured

💡 Best Practices

Prop Configuration

Prop Selection - Choose appropriate props for your server theme
Placement Limits - Configure reasonable prop placement limits
Synchronization - Ensure props are properly synchronized
Performance - Monitor prop count for server performance

Speed Zone Management

Zone Sizing - Set appropriate speed zone sizes
Speed Limits - Configure realistic speed limits for zones
Zone Placement - Place zones in logical locations
Zone Cleanup - Regularly remove unused speed zones

User Experience

Clear Instructions - Provide users with prop and zone placement guidelines
Menu Accessibility - Ensure menus are easy to navigate
