Nearest Postals

This script displays a nearest postal next to where PLD would go and also has a command to draw a route to a specific postal

Installation

1. There are 2 ways to install it, and I recommend the first
   1. Run the following command in a terminal
      • git clone https://github.com/blockba5her/nearest-postal.git
   2. Download the code from the GitHub releases
2. As of now, this script supports 3 postal maps. From what I have seen, these are the most popular
   • new-postals.json -> New and Improved Postals
   • old-postals.json -> Original Postals
   • ocrp-postals.json -> OCRP Postals
3. To setup the postal map, open the __resource.lua file and change the variable postalFile to one of the files above
   • NOTE: This defaults as the new-postals.json file

Command

To draw a route to a certain postal, type /postal [postalName] and to remove just type /postal

It will automatically remove the route when within 100m of the destination

Development

This script provides a simple way of working on a new postal map

1. In the script, enabled the local variable dev near the bottom
2. Restart the script into game
3. Teleport to the first postal code in numerical order
4. Type /setnext [postalCode] where postalCode is the postal that you are at
5. Type /next to insert it
6. Teleport to the next postal code in numerical order
7. Type /next to insert it
8. Repeat from step 6 on

If you make a mistake, you can either remove a specific postal using /remove [postalCode] or remove the last postal inserted with /rl (this will decrease the next value also)

When done with that, you can print all of the postals you just inserted into console with the /json command and then copy it from your CitizenFX.log file
