Jail

On this page3

The panel has its own admin jail: you set where it is and how far a jailed player may walk. Staff can also send a player to the police prison of your own prison script, when a supported one is running.

Admin jail

The admin jail is built into the panel. It works on every framework and needs no other resource. The key is in config.lua.

Key	Default	Allowed	What it changes in game
`Config.AdminJail`	A table with the two fields below	A table · `false`	`false` switches the admin jail off.
`coords`	`vec4(1691.5, 2565.9, 45.56, 180.0)` (Bolingbroke prison yard)	A position `vec4(x, y, z, heading)`	The spot a jailed player is put on. It is the middle of the area they may move in.
`radius`	`40.0`	Metres, `5.0` or more	How far from the spot they may walk. Farther out, they are put back on the spot.

lua

Config.AdminJail = {
    coords = vec4(1691.5, 2565.9, 45.56, 180.0),
    radius = 40.0,
}

What a jailed player gets

Rule	In game
Held around the spot	A player who leaves the radius or gets into a vehicle is put back on the spot and reads: "You are in admin jail. Stay here until your time is up."
No weapons, no fighting, no vehicles	Shooting, punching and getting into a vehicle are switched off.
Time on screen	A text at the top of the screen, for example "Admin jail: 12 min left".
The time only runs while they play	Leaving the server stops the clock. After a rejoin or a restart they are back in the jail.
When the time is up	They are put back where they stood before and read: "You were released from jail."
Longest time	10080 minutes (one week).

Pick another place

Stand on the new spot in game.
Open the quick menu with /adminmenu.
Open the Tools tab and press Copy my position.
Open config.lua and paste the text as coords.
Set radius to fit the place: a jailed player may walk that far from the spot.
Restart the resource.

vector4 (what the menu copies) and vec4 are the same thing.
The radius counts in every direction, also up and down.
A radius under 5.0 counts as 5.0.

Switching the admin jail off

lua

Config.AdminJail = false

Your server	What staff see
No prison script	The Jail button is gone.
A supported prison script	The Jail button stays for the police prison. Choosing Admin jail answers: "The admin jail is switched off on this server."

Police prison

There is no config key for it. In the Jail window staff choose Which jail: Admin jail or Police prison. The second choice is only there when a supported prison script is running.

Prison script	Level
`qb-prison`	Supported
`xt-prison`	Supported
Any other prison script	Stub / snippet: your developer adds it in the open file `bridge/jail.lua`

The panel hands the player to the prison script, with the minutes staff typed. It takes the same steps your police job takes for its own jail command.

	Admin jail	Police prison
Needs	Nothing	A supported prison script
Who keeps the time	The panel	The prison script
Place and rules	`Config.AdminJail`	The prison script
Jail a player	The player must be on the server	The player must be on the server
Release a player	Works while they are offline too	The player must be on the server

What staff read	Why
"This server has no police prison connected."	No supported prison script is running.
"The prison script did not accept that."	The prison script did not take or release the player.

The panel looks for the prison script each time it opens. Start the prison script, then open the panel again.

Permission

Both jails, and the release, need Jail / release (player.jail). The default ranks God, Admin and Moderator have it. See Super-Admin & Ranks.
