**mic\_carbomb** is a car bomb in four items. One player plants a bomb under a vehicle, walks away, and sets it off from a burner phone — straight away or on a countdown. Another player sweeps the street with a handheld detector, follows the beeping, and opens a toolbox to defuse it before it goes.

It runs on **ESX**, **QBCore** or **QBox**, needs no database table, and can send every detonation and defusal to a Discord channel.

## Key features

* **Plant it on any vehicle** 💣\
  Use `car_bomb`, walk up to a vehicle and press **E**. The bomb is tied to that vehicle's plate. One bomb per vehicle.
* **A detonator phone** 📱\
  `phone_detonator` opens a keypad phone that lists every bomb you planted by model and plate. Pick one and press the green key to blow it now, or the stopwatch to type a countdown in seconds.
* **A detector that beeps** 🔍\
  `bomb_detector` puts a scanner in your hand. Point it at a bombed vehicle and it beeps faster the closer you get; players standing next to you hear it too. Bombed vehicles in range can also get a map blip.
* **Defuse it** 🧰\
  `bomb_defuser` gives you a toolbox. Kneel at the bombed vehicle, press **E**, and wait out the repair — or win the C4 minigame.
* **A C4 minigame, if you want it** 🎛️\
  Off by default. Switch it on for planting, defusing or both: five colours flash, you repeat them. Get one wrong and the vehicle explodes.
* **Bombs that tick** 🔊\
  Anyone within 5 m of a bombed vehicle hears it beep. Can be switched off.
* **Items back, or not** 🎁\
  Choose whether planting uses up the bomb, whether defusing uses up the toolbox, and whether a defused bomb comes back as a `car_bomb` or as a `defused_bomb`.
* **Discord logs** 📡\
  A webhook message for every detonation, defusal, failed plant and failed defusal, with the player, their identifiers, the plate and the coordinates.

No SQL of its own, no target resource, no extra props — every prop it uses is already in the game.
