🛏️ Starter Apartments

They can be granted in two ways:

Automatically: call the AddStarterApartment export during character creation.
Manually (one-time backfill): use the /givestarterapartments command (or your custom command in GiveStarterApartmentCommand).

Open nolag_properties/config.lua and edit the StarterApartment block:

lua

StarterApartment = {
    Enabled = true,
    DisableForceSale = true,
    DisableSell = true,
    DisableRent = true,
    DisableInactivity = true,
    DisableFurniture = true,
    BuildingId = 1,
    Address = "Los Santos",
    Name = "Starter Apartment",
    UniqueName = true,
    RentedInstead = true,
    InitialRentDays = 7,
    FutureRentPrice = 500,
    Interior = {
        type = "shell",
        name = "Container",
    },
    Inventory = {
        slots = 10,
        weight = 10000,
    },
    InteractablePoints = {
        ["OpenInventory"] = true,
        ["ClothingMenu"] = true,
    }
},

Make sure the building exists

The starter apartment is assigned to a building (BuildingId). If the building does not exist, the creation fails with Building does not exists.

Create a building from the creation menu (/createproperty) and set BuildingId to that building's ID.
3
Ensure the interior exists

The Interior block must match a valid shell or ipl:
- Shells: enable the correct shell pack in Config.Shells (example: K4mb1StarterShells = true).
  The default name = "Container" is from custom/shells/StarterShells.lua.
- IPLs: the name must exist in nolag_properties/ipls.lua.
If the name is wrong or the pack is disabled, you will see Invalid shell type or Invalid ipl type.

Grant apartments to players
- New characters: call the export when the character is created:
lua
exports.nolag_properties:AddStarterApartment(playerIdentifier)
- Existing players (one-time backfill): run the command configured in GiveStarterApartmentCommand (default /givestarterapartments).

Key options and what they do:

Enabled: turns the system on/off.
BuildingId: the building the apartment is attached to (must exist).
Interior.type: shell or ipl.
Interior.name: must match a shell/ipl definition.
Name + UniqueName: allows automatic numbering when multiple players receive the same name.
RentedInstead: if true, the apartment is rented (owned by DefaultBuyerType / DefaultBuyerIdentifier) and rented to the player for free days.
InitialRentDays: free rent period.
FutureRentPrice: price after the free period ends.
Inventory: starter apartment stash size.
InteractablePoints: which points are available inside (inventory, clothing, etc).
DisableSell, DisableRent, DisableForceSale, DisableInactivity, DisableFurniture: restrict starter-apartment actions.
