Garage

This article contains technical information for garages. For general information on garages, see garages.

A garage is an area in the game where your vehicles are saved. It can also be a spray garage, a bomb shop garage, or just a regular garage that does not save anything. In Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, garages can only be created and controlled through the main.scm. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, garages can only be created through the GRGE section of the IPL file and controlled through the main.scm. You can duplicate most types of garages but you should not duplicate save garages. Each save garage saves specific vehicle(s) for that specific garage. Duplicating save garages can delete your saved vehicle(s).

Types of Garages

There are many types of garages that are used in the game. The following lists are based on a unmodified game.

List of Garages

The following lists are garages used from GTA III and above in the original game. All except San Andreas uses global variables as the identifier of the garages. San Andreas names its garages. In GTA III and GTA Vice City, only certain models are recognized by the game as a garage door. When the garage is defined properly and its door is placed nearby, the game can manipulate the door by sliding it to opening or closing positions and playing a sound effect as it happens.
