Available Repeater Types
Server Rack
Server rack style repeaters are found by default inside of police stations and hospitals. These repeaters offer the most interactive destruction experience. PressE on the door to open it.
Each server inside can be individually destroyed and will fall separately out of the rack. These can be configured with 1-5 servers in each. As more of these servers are destroyed, the repeater signal will diminish.

Mobile (Vehicle) Repeaters
Mobile repeaters extend radio coverage from configured vehicle models and attached trailer models. Their coverage moves with the vehicle while the repeater is active. Enable the feature inconfig.lua:
Configure a Vehicle Model
Configuration requires thecommand.radiomenu ACE permission.
- Enter the vehicle you want to configure. To configure a trailer model, attach the trailer to the vehicle first.
- Open
/radiomenu. - Select Radio Repeaters > Mobile Repeater Vehicles.
- Select Add Current Vehicle or Add Attached Trailer.
- Set the menu label and repeater range, then select Save Vehicle Repeater.
The range must be between 1 and 10000. The detected model is saved, so the configuration applies to every vehicle with that model, not only the vehicle used during setup.
Use the same menu to update an existing model or select Remove Configured Vehicle to delete it. Removing a model also disables active repeaters using that model.
Activate a Mobile Repeater
Activation does not require the administrator configuration permission.- Sit in the driver or front-passenger seat of a configured vehicle.
- Run
/radio repeaterto open the activation menu. - Select Enable Current Vehicle Repeater or Enable Attached Trailer Repeater. The menu displays whether the repeater is active or inactive.
/radiomenu.
Repeater Lifecycle
The server tracks active mobile repeaters as their networked vehicles move. A mobile repeater is automatically disabled when its vehicle is destroyed, despawns, or its model is removed from the configuration. If menu changes do not persist, check the server log and verify that the resource has permission to writemobileRepeaters.json.
