Garage

A garage is an area in the game where your vehicles are saved. It can also be a spray garage, a bomb shop garage, or just a regular garage that does not save anything. In GTA III and Vice City, garages can only be created and controlled through the main.scm. In San Andreas, garages can only be created through the GRGE section of the IPL file and controlled through the main.scm. You can duplicate most types of garages but you should not duplicate save garages. Each save garage saves specific vehicle(s) for that specific garage. Duplicating save garages can delete your saved vehicle(s).

Script

Through the script, opcodes can be used to interact and control the behavior of garages.

0219		creates a garage
021B    sets the garage to accept a specific vehicle      SET_TARGET_CAR_FOR_MISSION_GARAGE Description Sets the garage to accept the specified vehicle Syntax 021B: set_garage [garage handle] to_accept_car [car handle] Parameter [garage handle] The handle of the garage [car handle] The handle of the vehicle, or -1 for none This opcode sets the garage to accept the specified vehicle. The effectiveness of this opcode depends on the type of the garage and are noticeable for a few of them, with each of them behaving differently. For garage types 1, 14, and 21, the vehicle is considered dropped off if the vehicle is in the garage and the garage door closed itself. GTA III Type Description 1 The garage will open for your car. When the car is inside and you walk outside, the garage door will close and the car will disappear. 7 The garage won't open for your car so you have to force it open. Once inside you can leave your car in it and walk out. You will be frozen as the door closes. After the door closes, you are rewarded with $3. The car will disappear in the garage. 14 The garage will open for you car with a large radius of acceptance. Once stopped inside, the garage door will close and the player will be frozen. After a moment, the door will reopen. Driving away from the garage will close the garage and the garage will no longer accept the car. 20 The garage will open for your car but it won't close by itself as long as the car is in the garage. 21 The garage will open for you car. Once stopped inside, the garage door will close and the player will be frozen. After a moment, you are unfrozen but the garage door remains closed. The garage won't accept your car again if you manage to get it out and attempt to drive back in. Vice City Type Description 1 The garage will open for your car. When the car is inside and you walk outside, the garage door will close and the car will disappear. 14 The garage will open for your car. Once inside you will be frozen until the door closes. After a short time it opens back up. Right after the door finishes opening, it will immediately close itself again and stays closed. It won't accept your car again if you manage to get it out and attempt to drive back in. 20 The garage will open for your car but it won't close by itself as long as the car is in the garage. 21 The garage will open for your car. Once inside you will be frozen until the door closes. The door stays closed. It won't accept your car again if you manage to get it out and attempt to drive back in. 23 The garage won't open for your car so you have to force it open. Once inside you can leave your car in it and walk out. You will be frozen as the door closes. It will accept your car again if you manage to get it out and attempt to drive back in. Keywords set, target, car, vehicle, accept, mission, garage
021C		checks if a vehicle is in the garage
0299 activates a garage   ACTIVATE_GARAGE Description Activates the garage Syntax 0299: activate_garage [garage handle] 0299: activate_garage '[string]' Garage.Activate( '[string]' ) Parameter [garage handle] The handle of the garage, for GTA III [string] The name of the garage, for San Andreas This opcode activates the garage, which can be deactivated through opcode 02B9. In GTA III for garage type 11, this opcode has an additional function of allowing the door of the garage to open. For Vice City This opcode does not exist in Vice City, but garages do not ever deactivate in the game without using the code snippet for simulating opcode 02B9. The following example, using Sanny Builder with CLEO for Vice City in an external script (not the main one), and tested on US v1.0, should work similarly to this opcode. Place this at the end of the file: :opcode_0299 // 0@ - input param (garage handle) 0@ *= 0xA8 // size of each garage block 0@ += 0x812668 // add to beginning of garage block 05E0: 1@ = read_memory 0@ size 1 virtual_protect 0 // read garage type if 1@ == 11 // is garage type 11 then 0@ += 1 // door state offset 05E0: 1@ = read_memory 0@ size 1 virtual_protect 0 // read garage door state if 1@ == 0 // is door closed then 05DF: write_memory 0@ size 1 value 3 virtual_protect 0 // open garage door end 0@ -= 1 end 0@ += 5 // activation offset 05DF: write_memory 0@ size 1 value 0 virtual_protect 0 // activate garage 05F6: ret 0 Use this line as a substitute for opcode 0299. This can be placed anywhere within the external script: 05F5: call_scm_func @opcode_0299 inputs 1 garage_handle [garage handle] Keywords set, garage, activate, enable External link  GTAForums: Detailed post for unique garage behavior in GTA III
02B9 deactivates a garage   DEACTIVATE_GARAGE Description Deactivates the garage Syntax 02B9: deactivate_garage [garage handle] 02B9: deactivate_garage '[string]' Garage.Deactivate( '[string]' ) Parameter [garage handle] The handle of the garage, for GTA III [string] The name of the garage, for San Andreas This opcode deactivates the garage. It can be reactivated by using opcode 0299. Normal garage functions will be limited, like save garages not opening, spray shops not being able to finish spraying, and bomb shops not being able to finish fitting the bomb. For Vice City This opcode does not exist in Vice City, but the deactivation behavior of the garage remains. The following example, using Sanny Builder with CLEO for Vice City in an external script (not the main one), and tested on US v1.0, should work similarly to this opcode. Place this at the end of the file: :opcode_02B9 // 0@ - input param (garage handle) 0@ *= 0xA8 // size of each garage struct 0@ += 0x812668 // base address for garages 0@ += 0x5 // activation offset 05DF: write_memory 0@ size 1 value 1 virtual_protect 0 // deactivate garage 05F6: ret 0 Use this line as a substitute for opcode 02B9. This can be placed anywhere within the external script: 05F5: call_scm_func @opcode_02B9 inputs 1 garage_handle [garage handle] Keywords garage, deactivate, disable
02FA		changes the type of garage
0360		opens a garage
0361		closes a garage
03B0		checks if a garage is opened
03B1		checks if a garage is closed
03BB		sets the garage door to swing open instead of slide open
03DA		disables remote camera control of the player when in a garage
057A		sets the maximum number of vehicles for a save garage to open
0A14		sets a paint shop type of garage to disable

San Andreas introduced the GRGE section in the IPL file. It replaces the previously used opcodes 0219, 03BB and 057A. It creates an invisible cube which interacts as a garage.
