# Usage

* **Finding a Garage**
  * Each configured garage places an **NPC** at `npcCoord` and a **blip** on the map (if configured).
  * Players see a “Garage” icon (blip) and can walk up to the NPC to open the garage menu.
* **Opening the Garage Menu**
  * When close to the NPC, a prompt (e.g., *Press E to open the garage*) appears.
  * Pressing **E** opens a **NUI** menu showing stored vehicles, including whether they’re parked or currently out in the world.
* **Storing a Vehicle**
  * Players must drive the vehicle to the **parkCoord** near the same garage NPC.
  * A prompt (Press E to park your car) appears if they own that vehicle.
* **Retrieving a Vehicle**
  * From the NUI list, selecting a vehicle calls a server check (`stg-garage:getVehicleStatus`).
  * If the vehicle is “in world,” players might need to pay the retrieval fee if not already in the parking.
  * The script spawns the vehicle at one of the **spawnCoords** for that garage.
* **Cooldown / Timer**
  * Once players have paid and triggered retrieval, the script sets a countdown (`retrieveCars[plate]`) preventing immediate repeated calls.
  * The retrieval timer is processed in a **server loop** (Citizen.CreateThread) decreasing each second.
* **Favorite Vehicles**
  * If enabled, players can mark a vehicle as “favorite,” so it appears in a separate tab or gets a special label.
