Installation

1. Place the resource

Drop the rc_extra_seats folder into your server's resources/ directory:

resources/
  rc_extra_seats/
    config.lua
    fxmanifest.lua
    ...

You can also nest it inside a bracketed category folder (e.g. resources/[vehicles]/rc_extra_seats/) if you organize resources that way. FiveM treats bracketed folders as containers and will discover any resource nested inside.

2. Add to server.cfg

Add the ensure line after any targeting resource you use:

# Targeting system (if using one)
ensure ox_target

# Extra seats
ensure rc_extra_seats

Load order matters. If rc_extra_seats starts before ox_target, the targeting integration will fail silently.

3. Grant admin ACE permission

Admins who will use the in-game seat editor or the admin commands need the rc_extra_seats.editor ACE (or the catch-all command permission that most admin groups already have):

add_ace group.admin rc_extra_seats.editor allow

Players do not need any ACE — the sit/stand interaction is available to everyone by default.

4. First-start verification

Start or restart the resource and check the server console for errors. A clean start produces no output unless Config.debugMode.enabled = true.

In-game, spawn or walk up to a configured vehicle model (e.g. SANDKING). You should see a "Press E to sit down" prompt (or a targeting option) when you approach the truck bed.

TIP

If no prompt appears, check the Troubleshooting page. The most common causes are load-order issues with the targeting resource and Config.doorLock.enabled = true on an unlocked vehicle (the logic is inverted — see the config docs).

Upgrading from ls_extra_seats

rc_extra_seats is a fork of ls_extra_seats. Existing Config.pickupTruckModels entries copy across without modification. Two things to be aware of:

• The detect = {x,y,z} field in old entries is silently ignored. The prompt zone is now a sphere centered on the seat's attach position with radius detectRadius (default 1.0). If your old detect coords were significantly offset from the seat, the prompt area will have moved. Open the editor to tune detectRadius per seat.
• The {0,0,0,0} four-seat occupancy cap is gone. Models with more than four seats work correctly without any config change.
