`GetClosestVehicle`

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Finds the closest vehicle to a set of coordinates within a radius. Used by garages, mechanics, and interaction systems.

Vehicle (number) — the closest matching vehicle, or 0.

x, y, zfloatThe center coordinates to search from.

radiusfloatSearch radius.

modelHashHash0 for any model, or a specific model hash.

flagsnumberSearch flags (commonly 70 to include most vehicles).

local c = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
local veh = GetClosestVehicle(c.x, c.y, c.z, 3.0, 0, 70)
if veh ~= 0 then
  -- found a nearby vehicle
end

The flags argument matters — 70 is a common catch-all; the wrong flags can exclude vehicles.
Returns 0 when nothing matches; always check.
