Apartments

Starter high-rise housing across four towers (Lombank 1 & 2, Eclipse, Tinsel). Players get an auto-assigned unit on connect, can furnish it, lock the door, and use Housing Central with apartment-specific limits.

Requirement — Apartment Towers

Apartment logic in prp-property only runs when the map resource prp-apartments is started.

You need the Apartment Towers product (resource name prp-apartments). It provides the tower shells, floor IPLs, lobbies, and garage geometry (644 units across 46 floors). See also prp-apartments.

-- config/sh_config.lua
apartments = GetResourceState("prp-apartments") == "started",

Runtime checks use the same rule (AreApartmentsEnabled() → GetResourceState("prp-apartments") == "started").

Soft dependency

prp-apartments is not a hard fxmanifest dependency. If it is missing or stopped, apartments simply stay off (no auto-assign, elevators, receptionists, or unit attach). Regular MLO / shell / IPL properties still work.

Start prp-apartments before prp-property when possible so the feature flag is true at load. It is recommended, not required — the live GetResourceState check still enables apartments if the map starts later (restart clients / reconnect for floor zones and elevators that already initialized).

Example server.cfg order:

ensure ox_lib
ensure prp-apartments
ensure prp-property

What apartments do

Feature	Behavior
Auto-assign	On character connect, a free physical unit is assigned if apartments are enabled
Persistent housing	Creates / reuses a world_housing row with location_id = -1 (furniture, access, settings)
Session room	The physical room (coords / room number) is pooled per session and freed on disconnect
Doors	Native door system lock/unlock (prp-housing:server:toggleApartmentLock) for players with access
Enter	Walking into your unit loads it as a property (isApartment) and opens Housing Central
Furnish / storage	Same furnish flow as houses; storage cap is lower (default 3)
Elevators	Garage / lobby / floor teleports; your floor is labeled in the menu
Map blip	Blip on your tower lobby only (not floor/room)
Receptionist	Lobby NPC answers What's my room? with room and floor
Limits vs houses	Rent, upgrades, and maintenance seizure are disabled / skipped for apartments

4	Tinsel Tower

Data files: apartments.json (coords, room, floor, building), apartments.lua (ApartmentFloors, ApartmentsData, Receptionists).

How a player finds room & location

Tower blip

When a unit is assigned, the client creates a map blip on that player's tower lobby (Lombank 1/2, Eclipse, or Tinsel). There is no blip for floor or room number.

Receptionist (floor & room)

Each tower lobby has a receptionist ped. Interact and choose What's my room?

They get a notify like:

Your room is 101 on floor 1. Have a great day!

Elevator

At an elevator point, open the menu. The floor that matches the player's assigned unit is marked as your room. Use that to go to the correct floor, then find the matching room number on the corridor.

Typical player path

1. Connect → unit auto-assigned (when prp-apartments is started).
2. Follow the tower blip to the correct building lobby.
3. Ask the receptionist for room and floor.
4. Take the elevator to that floor (menu shows your room).
5. Find the door for that room number → lock/unlock with E if you have access → enter to load Housing Central.

Differences from normal properties

	Apartment	Normal property
Location	location_id = -1	Real location id
Creation	Auto on connect	Staff / realtor / market
Physical unit	Session pool	Fixed doors / coords
Doors	Native apartment door toggle	ox_doorlock options
Rent / upgrades / seizure	Off	On (when configured)
