= Vehicle Recovery =

'''Vehicle Recovery''' is the system used to bring back an owned vehicle. It is mainly used through [[Vehicle Manager (F2)]] or `/recover`.


== Fast recovery answer ==

Open `F2` or use `/vehicles`, select the vehicle, then click `Recover`. You can also use `/recover` for the vehicle currently selected in F2.
If your vehicle is stuck in water, open `F2`, select the vehicle, and click `Recover`.

== Recovery behavior ==

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Situation
! Where the vehicle goes
|-
| VIP recovery
| Can recover to your location. Wanted recovery takes `10` seconds.
|-
| No VIP
| Goes to the recovery point or nearest allowed spawner.
|-
| VIP ended or recently damaged
| Goes to the recovery point. Being wanted does not cause this when VIP Hours are active.
|-
| Large planes
| Can only be recovered at airports.
|-
| Near Armed Robbery
| Blocked within `40` units.
|}
</div>
== Useful recovery commands ==

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Command or key
! Use
! Notes
|-
| `/recover`
| Recover selected F2 vehicle
| If nothing is selected, it selects the top vehicle in F2.
|-
| `/bvrp`
| Toggle recovery pad blips
| Recovery points are markable with `/gps`.
|-
| `/pick ID`
| Pick vehicle by F2 number
| Useful when you know the vehicle number.
|}
</div>


== How to recover ==

To recover a vehicle:

# Open `F2` or use `/vehicles`.
# Select the vehicle.
# Click `Recover`.

You can also use `/recover`. It recovers the vehicle currently selected in F2.

== VIP and Non VIP Recovery ==

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Type
! Result
|-
| VIP recovery
| Can bring the vehicle to your location
|-
| Wanted player with VIP
| The vehicle comes to your location after `10` seconds, and you are not warped into it
|-
| Wanted recovery wait
| Wanted players can hide a vehicle during the `10` second recovery wait
|-
| Without VIP
| Vehicle goes to the recovery point or nearest allowed spawner
|}
</div>
Vehicle recovery can also send some law vehicles to the nearest vehicle spawner.

Vehicle recovery points are markable in `/gps`. They are not visible red and yellow in game markers. If your vehicle is sent to one, use `/gps` to mark that location.

== Non VIP Recovery ==

Non VIP recovery depends on your role, job, side, and vehicle type.

Use [[Non-VIP Vehicle Recovery]] for the full role list.

Common examples:

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Role
! Vehicles
|-
| Everyone
| `Faggio`, `Caddy`, `Moonbeam`, every pedal bike, `Dinghy`, and `Sweeper`
|-
| Criminals and gangsters
| `Stafford`, `Greenwood`, and `Sultan`
|-
| [[Cops]] from any location
| `[[Police]] LS`, `Medic Car`, `S.W.A.T.`, `Undercover Police`, and `HPV1000`
|}
</div>
[[Military]] and Rebel recovery without VIP is historical because Military and Rebel are disabled.

== Apartment and Dimension Recovery ==

Recovering an F2 vehicle while in an [[apartment]], and in some other dimensions, clones car tuning and many other features.

== Bind Recovery ==

You can bind recovery to a key:

`/bind [key] recover`

Example:

`/bind Q recover`

== Pick is Different ==

`Recover` uses the recovery system.

`Pick` spawns the vehicle where it was last spawned.

== Vehicle Stats ==

Use [[Vehicle Stats]] when you need the full stat table, exact max [[speed]] values, acceleration values, mass values, traction values, and ranking tables.

== CITmap Counts ==

These counts come from the CITmap data. Use them as quick count summaries only. Some CITmap icons are custom.

`Other` means counties, small towns, airports, sea points, or non city areas as labelled in CITmap.

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Type
! LS
! SF
! LV
! Other
! Total
|-
| Recovery points
| `1`
| `0`
| `1`
| `5`
| `7`
|}
</div>

== Related notes ==

* Personal vehicles can be recovered at race track, blood bowl, and demolition derby recovery pads.
* Large planes can only be recovered at airports.
* Cops, criminals, and gangsters cannot recover <code>Bus</code>, <code>Coach</code>, <code>Trashmaster</code>, or <code>Fire Truck</code>, and large vehicles are removed from areas with many wanted players.
* Clicking <code>Recover</code> in <code>F2</code> clones your personal vehicle for temporary use in the <code>Law Farm</code> dimension.
* Broken down vehicles can be hidden even if they are moving.
* Wanted player or prisoner vehicle recovery is visible to everyone, shows a half transparent vehicle, and spawns after <code>10</code> seconds.
* Players can recover vehicles in allied bases without <code>VIP</code>.



== Vehicles after logout ==

Normal owned vehicles are hidden while their owner is offline and return at the position where they were left. House static vehicles remain displayed instead of following this behavior.

== Recovery near your house ==

When you are close to your own house, you can recover any owned F2 vehicle to your position without VIP. This does not place or store the vehicle permanently inside the house.

== VIP recovery timing ==

With VIP, recovery works whether or not the player is wanted.

* Not wanted: the vehicle appears immediately and the player is warped into it.
* Wanted: the vehicle appears after <code>10</code> seconds, the player is not warped into it, everyone can see the recovery location, and the owner can hide the vehicle during the wait.

Without VIP, the vehicle goes to a recovery point or another allowed spawner unless a role or location exception applies.
