Territories

This script features a territory control system that uses points to determine which gang dominates a specific area. It uses GTA native zones; custom zones (or polyzones) are not supported. Points are gained or lost through various in-game events, you also have client exports you can trigger from your own scripts.

You can find a list of default events that triggers the add/removal of zone points in server/editable/_territories.lua I don't list them here to prevent any possible metagaming.

You can hide the left leaderboard in config/territories.lua

Territory Colors

Gangs can set their own territory color in Settings tab > Gang Color, this option will also change the UI color to match their gang style.
