MotelsCopy Anchor Link

A motel is simply a shell registered under the motel category. Motels are ideal for cheap, high-turnover rooms a starter-tier alternative to full apartments, and share every property feature (lock, decorate, stash, wardrobe, security…).

What makes a motelCopy Anchor Link

Motels aren't a separate system, they're a shell category. A shell whose category = 'motel' is presented and grouped as a motel room. For example, the K4MB1 starter-shells pack registers:

standard_motel = {
    model = 'k4_motel2_furn',
    label = 'Standard Motel',
    category = 'motel',
    -- doorOffset, price, …
}

These auto-register when the shell pack resource is running (shared/shells/k4mb1.lua), or you can register your own with KP.AddShell.

Typical setupCopy Anchor Link

1. Register (or enable) one or more motel-category shells in shared/shells.
2. Create motel units at a motel building's doors via the creation wizard, many units share one entrance, so they group into a building with a unit picker (or a searchable directory for 12+ rooms).
3. Set a low weekly rent and, optionally, flag rooms as starter apartments so new players spawn into them.

Running a motelCopy Anchor Link

• Every motel room is a normal rentable property, see Renting & Leases.
• Rooms in a building are managed together in the Building Inventory (Company or Job Hub), including bulk rent-setting and bulk starter toggles.
• Because motels are shells, they're instanced, each occupant is in their own routing bucket, so many players can be in "the same room number" without colliding.
