Have i done something wrong because it doesn’t work :frowning:

Citizen.CreateThread(function(plate)

local m_key = 244

local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId(), true)
local targetPos = GetOffsetFromEntityInWorldCoords(PlayerPedId(), 0.0, 8.0, -1.0)
local StartRay = StartShapeTestRay(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, targetPos.x, targetPos.y, targetPos.z, 2, PlayerPedId(), 0)
local _,hit,_,_,veh = GetShapeTestResult(StartRay)
local veh = nil

local plate = GetVehicleNumberPlateText(veh)

while true do
    Citizen.Wait(1)
    if hit and DoesEntityExist(veh) and IsEntityAVehicle(veh) then
        currentSelection = veh
    if IsControlJustReleased(1, m_key) then
        if (not plate) then return end
        TriggerEvent('chat:addMessage', {
            color = { 255,255,255},
            multiline = true,
            args = {"Plate: " .. plate}
        })
    else
        currentSelection = nil
    end
    end
end

end)

This needs to be inside your loop, no?
