# Delivery

The delivery system is what gives the player their vehicle, weapon, skin, money or pack once a checkout is completed. It supports three layered customization mechanisms, from simplest to most flexible.

### Mechanism 1 — Weapon delivery mode

In `shared/config.lua`:

```lua
Delivery = {
  WeaponDeliveryMode = "native", -- "native" or "item"
}
```

| Mode       | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `"native"` | Uses `xPlayer.addWeapon` (ESX) or the QBCore native — the player gets the weapon directly.                                                                                |
| `"item"`   | Gives the weapon as an **inventory item** (ox\_inventory, qs-inventory, qb-inventory…). The IDs in `Products.Weapons` must match item names that exist in your inventory. |

### Mechanism 2 — Server hooks (recommended)

Hooks are the cleanest way to plug your own garage / inventory / money system without touching encrypted files. Edit `server/framework/hooks.lua`:

```lua
VarShop = VarShop or {}
VarShop.FrameworkOverrides = VarShop.FrameworkOverrides or {}

-- Vehicle delivery to your own garage table
function VarShop.FrameworkOverrides.giveVehicle(src, identifier, item)
  -- item = { id = "rebla", kind = "vehicle", qty = 1, meta = { upgrades = {...}, plate = "..." } }
  local plate = item.meta and item.meta.plate or ("VAR" .. math.random(10000, 99999))

  MySQL.insert.await([[
    INSERT INTO my_garage_table (citizenid, model, plate, garage)
    VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
  ]], { identifier, item.id, plate, "pillboxgarage" })

  return true -- true = handled, do not run default ESX/QB logic
end

-- Force a specific inventory for weapons
function VarShop.FrameworkOverrides.giveWeapon(src, identifier, item)
  exports['ox_inventory']:AddItem(src, item.id, item.qty or 1)
  return true
end

-- Items / skins
function VarShop.FrameworkOverrides.giveItem(src, identifier, item)
  exports['ox_inventory']:AddItem(src, item.id, item.qty or 1, item.meta)
  return true
end
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Return `true` to signal "I handled this delivery myself". Return `nil` (or nothing) to fall back to the default ESX/QB logic.
{% endhint %}

### Mechanism 3 — Handlers config

If you prefer routing specific kinds to **events** or **exports** without writing hook code:

```lua
Delivery = {
  Handlers = {
    vehicle = { Event = "myserver:giveVehicle" },          -- TriggerEvent(event, src, identifier, item)
    weapon  = { Export = "ox_inventory:AddItem" },         -- exports[res][func](src, identifier, item)
    skin    = { Type = "framework:item" },                 -- default behavior
    money   = { Event = "myserver:giveMoney" },
    pack    = { Type = "framework:pack" },                 -- recursively unpack contents
  },
  FallbackEvent = "var-shop:deliver:item", -- triggered when no handler matched
}
```

#### Available handler keys

| Key                          | Effect                                                             |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Type = "framework:vehicle"` | Inserts into ESX `owned_vehicles` or QB `player_vehicles`          |
| `Type = "framework:weapon"`  | Native `addWeapon` (mode native) or `addInventoryItem` (mode item) |
| `Type = "framework:item"`    | Native `addInventoryItem` of your framework                        |
| `Type = "framework:money"`   | Native `addMoney` of your framework                                |
| `Type = "framework:pack"`    | Unpacks `contents = { { kind = "vehicle", ref = "rebla" }, … }`    |
| `Event = "..."`              | `TriggerEvent(event, src, identifier, item)`                       |
| `Export = "resource:func"`   | `exports[resource][func](src, identifier, item)`                   |

### Garage table mapping

If your server doesn't follow the standard ESX (`owned_vehicles`) or QB (`player_vehicles`) schema, remap the columns in `shared/config.lua`:

```lua
Vehicle = {
  PlatePrefix = "VAR",          -- "" for no prefix
  ESXTable = "owned_vehicles",
  ESXOwnerColumn = "owner",
  ESXPlateColumn = "plate",
  ESXDataColumn = "vehicle",
  ESXStoredColumn = "stored",
  QBTable = "player_vehicles",
  QBOwnerColumn = "citizenid",
  QBPlateColumn = "plate",
  QBDataColumn = "mods",
  QBStateColumn = "state"
}
```

### Item shape received by handlers

```lua
-- Vehicle
{ id = "rebla", label = "Rebla GTS", kind = "vehicle", qty = 1,
  meta = { upgrades = { "perf", "plate" }, plate = "VAR12345" } }

-- Weapon
{ id = "WEAPON_AK4K", label = "AK-4K", kind = "weapon", qty = 1 }

-- Skin
{ id = "SKIN_WEAPON_NEVA", label = "Neva Glowing", kind = "skin", qty = 1,
  meta = { variant = "black", weaponFor = "WEAPON_NEVA" } }

-- Money
{ id = "money_cash", label = "Cash", kind = "money", qty = 1, amount = 5000 }

-- Pack (auto-unpacked by framework:pack)
{ id = "pack_explorer", label = "Explorer Pack", kind = "pack", qty = 1 }
```
