Learn-skills.dev beamng-mods

Build and debug BeamNG.drive and BeamMP mods/resources using Lua. Use this skill whenever the user mentions BeamNG modding, BeamMP server plugins, `Resources/Server`, `Resources/Client`, `modScript.lua`, `extensions.load`, `MP.RegisterEvent`, `AddEventHandler`, or client/server event wiring.

BeamNG + BeamMP Modding

Build, scaffold, and debug:

BeamMP server plugins
BeamMP client mods (
```
modScript.lua
```
+ GE extension)
BeamNG Lua extensions (
```
common/ge/vehicle
```
)

Keep responses concise and implementation-first. Prefer small working patches.

First Decision

Choose one target before writing code:

```
beammp-server
```
```
beammp-client
```
```
beamng-only
```

If target is unclear, ask one short clarifying question.

Progressive Loading

Load only what is needed.

For

beammp-server

```
references/layouts.md
```
```
references/beammp-server-api.md
```
```
examples/beammp-server-main.lua
```
(when scaffolding code)

For

beammp-client

```
references/layouts.md
```
```
references/beammp-client-api.md
```
```
examples/beammp-client-extension.lua
```
```
examples/modScript.lua
```

For

beamng-only

```
references/layouts.md
```
```
references/beamng-extension-api.md
```
```
examples/beamng-ge-extension.lua
```
(or adapt for common/vehicle VM)

Core Rules

Namespace custom events as
```
pluginName:eventName
```
.
Use JSON payloads for client/server boundaries and validate inputs.
Keep event handlers short; avoid long blocking loops/sleeps.
Prefer one small, testable feature per iteration.
If any local stubs are provided, treat them as helper hints only; prefer official docs on conflicts.

Output Format

When implementing/scaffolding, include:

Target type (
```
beammp-server
```
,
```
beammp-client
```
, or
```
beamng-only
```
)
