Vehicle Recovery

Vehicle Recovery is the system used to bring back your owned vehicle in CIT. It is mainly done through the `F2` Vehicle Manager or with /recover.

Overview

Vehicle recovery is used when:

your vehicle is far away
you want to bring it back
you want it near you
you want it sent to a recovery point or allowed spawner

The main recovery methods are:

`F2`
/vehicles
/recover

How to recover a vehicle

To recover a vehicle normally:

press F2
or use /vehicles
select the vehicle
click `Recover`

You can also use:

/recover

This recovers the vehicle that is currently selected in `F2`.

How /recover works

/recover works only with:

the vehicle currently selected in `F2`

It is useful if:

you do not want to open the Vehicle Manager every time
you want to bind recovery to a key

VIP recovery

With `VIP` Hours:

your vehicle can be recovered to your location

Exception:

this does not work when you are wanted

If you are wanted:

the vehicle does not recover directly to you

Non-VIP recovery

Without `VIP` Hours:

the vehicle goes to the recovery point
or the nearest allowed spawner instead

Non-`VIP` recovery depends on:

your role
your team
your current job

Why a vehicle goes to the recovery point

Your vehicle goes to the recovery point instead of spawning near you if:

you are wanted
your `VIP` Hours ended
you took damage recently
