# Client

You can open the mechanic menu from another resource:

```lua
exports['tg-mechanicui']:openMechanicMenu(positionIndex)
```

You can also trigger:

```lua
TriggerEvent('tg:openmechanicmenu', positionIndex)
```

`positionIndex` is optional. If omitted, the script will try to use the closest valid mechanic position.
