Before starting
You don't have to understand what these commands are in order to know how to organize it, but it would of course be better if you checked the guide first:

Information
You should have notepad document for all your projects or one projects. Where you write down all the pickups you create. This is helpful not only for organizing but to make it easier for you to enter and change commands.

Copy pasting
You can use the windows copy paste options in VC-MP:

You copy paste a line using CTRL + C
Press Tab, then use Pg up (page up), pg down (page down) to select the line
the press CTRL + C to copy
and CTRL+V to paste it.

This will allow you to copy paste things from notepad to VC-MP as well.

Solution for changing things
Have this command for example:

/changepickupcondition 103 player_vehicle == ON_FOOT AND var_player_index == 0

You want to enter this command 30 times with different values than 103 and 0.

For example:
/changepickupcondition 104 player_vehicle == ON_FOOT AND var_player_index == 1
/changepickupcondition 105 player_vehicle == ON_FOOT AND var_player_index == 2

Either way it will be a few minutes of work. But if you don't do the edits in a notepad. It will take you a long time to change this in VC-MP.

That's why I recommend to store each line in notepad and change it from there instead. It will save you 10-15 minutes of time.

You want to change a message
If you have a long message pickup saying: "Hello my name is nerd. Whatts your name" and you later see: oh I accidentally added another t in "whatts"
If you save your command in notepad like this:
/addmsgpickup Hello my name is nerd. Whatts your name

You can easily change the message there without having to re-type the whole thing and you can then copy paste the entire command into chat. After that you just use /editpickup to edit the old message pickup.
