# Placing Cabinets
The /storcreator placer — place, move and remove cabinets in game, and where placements are saved
GTA's own filing cabinets open without any setup. To put cabinets anywhere else, use `/storcreator` in game. No coordinates to copy, no config to edit.
### Who can place
`/storcreator` needs this ACE:
```
add_ace group.admin stor.creator allow
```
On a dev server you can set `devMode = true` in `config/creator.lua` instead: then **every player** may place. Keep it `false` on a live server.
{% hint style="info" %}
Opening a cabinet needs no permission. The ACE only controls who can place, move and remove cabinets.
{% endhint %}
***
### The placer
Run `/storcreator`. A see-through copy of the cabinet follows the spot you look at, and the placer screen opens. The card at the top shows the model: steel or wooden cabinet, its number of working drawers, its size, and where it is in the model list. The cabinet starts turned with its drawers toward you.
The placer screen with the key bar at the bottom.
| Control | Action |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Mouse wheel** | Rotate (5° per notch) |
| **Arrow Up / Down** | Raise / lower while held (0.5 m per second). Turns ground snap off |
| **Arrow Left / Right** | Previous / next cabinet model |
| **G** | Ground snap on / off |
| **Enter** | Place (or **Move here** when moving) |
| **Backspace** | Cancel |
The server refuses a spot farther than 50 m from you (`maxDistance`). The placer then shows **Too far away** and Enter does nothing until you come closer. All steps and distances are in `config/creator.lua` (see [Creator settings](/prompt-studio/scripts/interactive-storage/configuration.md#creator-settings)).

### Commands
| Command | What it does |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/storcreator` | Place a cabinet |
| `/storcreator ` | Place, starting on that model, for example `/storcreator prompt_filecab01` |
| `/storcreator move` | Pick up the placed cabinet within 3 m of you and put it down again. The model stays the same |
| `/storcreator remove` | Remove the placed cabinet within 3 m of you. Run it again within 5 seconds to confirm |
| `/storcreator list` | Print every placed cabinet to F8: id, model, distance, position and heading |
`move` and `remove` only work on placed cabinets, not on GTA's own. The command does nothing while you are using a cabinet.
The model names and their drawers and stash sizes are listed in [Cabinet models and stash sizes](/prompt-studio/scripts/interactive-storage/configuration.md#cabinet-models-and-stash-sizes).
***
### How placed cabinets work
* Every placed cabinet gets a 6-character id (shown when you place it and in `/storcreator list`).
* Its drawer stashes are named after that id, so a cabinet keeps its contents when you **move** it. Removing a cabinet does not delete its stashes from the inventory; a cabinet placed again gets a new id and new, empty stashes.
* Whoever is using a cabinet when it is moved or removed is sent out of it.
* Each player's game shows a placed cabinet while they are within 60 m of it (`spawnDistance`).
***
### Where placements are saved
Placed cabinets are kept in `data/placements.json` inside the resource folder. The server saves it within 5 seconds of a change and when the resource stops.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Keep `data/placements.json` when you update the resource. A new copy of the folder without it starts with no placed cabinets.
{% endhint %}
* A row the server cannot use (a model that is no longer in the config, broken coordinates) is skipped with a console line and stays in the file.
* A file the server cannot read (not valid JSON, or not in the expected format) is set aside as `data/placements.broken.json`, and the server starts with no placed cabinets.
Other resources can place and remove cabinets through the `AddPlacement` and `RemovePlacement` exports (see [For Developers](/prompt-studio/scripts/interactive-storage/developers.md#exports)).
