# Warehouses

Private warehouses. Buying, keys, storage, parking, upgrades and the terminal laptop.

A warehouse is a private property bought from the **Warehouse Broker**. Each one is its own private copy of a GTA interior, so two warehouses can share an interior without seeing each other.

## Buying and selling

Talk to the broker to see every warehouse for sale with its photo, interior, parking spots and price. Buy with bank or cash.

* A character can own `MaxOwned` warehouses (1).
* Selling pays back `SellRefund` of the price (half). Parked vehicles must be taken out first.
* The broker stands at a random spot from your broker spots each restart. See [In-game creator](/kazescripts/kaze_chopshop/in-game-creator.md).

## Who can enter

| Who                                | Enter | Storage | Park | Terminal | Designer |
| ---------------------------------- | ----- | ------- | ---- | -------- | -------- |
| Owner                              | Yes   | Yes     | Yes  | Full     | Yes      |
| Key holder                         | Yes   | Yes     | Yes  | View     | No       |
| Crew of a live contract (drop-off) | Yes   | No      | No   | No       | No       |

The owner gives and takes keys on the terminal laptop (up to `MaxKeys`). Only the owner and key holders see the warehouse blip.

Walk or drive up to the entrance and press **E**. Inside, press **E** at the inside door to leave.

## Storage

Open the storage at the storage point, or at any storage prop placed with the [interior designer](/kazescripts/kaze_chopshop/interior-designer.md). They all open the same storage.

* Base size: 40 slots.
* The **Storage Racks** upgrade and each storage prop add slots and weight.
* The storage belongs to the owner. After a sale, its items wait for the owner's next warehouse.

## Parking

Drive a car next to a free parking spot and press **E - PARK VEHICLE**. Parked cars stay across restarts with their look. Drive a parked car out through the inside door to take it out. Contract cars cannot be parked.

## Terminal laptop

The laptop inside shows:

Prices and bonuses are in `Config.Warehouse.Upgrades`.

## Chopping in a warehouse

When the captain picks their warehouse as the drop-off, the crew drives in and chops the car anywhere inside. Parts are carried to the storage point. The warehouse stats count every contract and part.

## Photos

Photos are taken in the creator and shown at the broker. They need the `screencapture` resource.

| `Photos.Storage` | Where photos are kept                                                                            |
