Chop Shop

Opens the chop shop menu (contracts, tool shop, swap shop, stats and leaderboard) as if the player had used the broker.

exports.lation_chopshop:openMenu()

Returns true when the player currently holds a contract that has not expired. The check is made against the server, so it is always current.

local active = exports.lation_chopshop:hasActiveContract()

getPlayerData and getLevelData are also available on the client. See the Shared page.

Hooks

Client hooks live in lua/client/utils/hooks.lua, which ships open under escrow. Edit the functions in place to change who can chop and when.

Function	Purpose
`Hooks.CanStartChopping(model, entity)`	Return `false` to stop the player starting a chop on this vehicle. Runs the blacklist and owned-vehicle checks by default.
`Hooks.CanInteractWithVehiclePart(entity, bone, isBusy)`	Return `false` to hide chop prompts on a vehicle. Blocks armed, dead and blacklisted players by default.
`Hooks.StartedChopping(entity, model)`	Called when a chop starts on a vehicle. Empty by default; a good place for a dispatch alert.
