Scripting Examples

Complete, working examples you can use as starting points. Copy an example into its own resource, keep client and server responsibilities separate, and rename every public event before extending it. Validate all client-provided values on the server before connecting an example to money, inventory, permissions, or persistence.

Example 1: Simple Notification Resource

fxmanifest.lua

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'
 
author 'Your Name'
description 'Simple notification resource'
version '1.0.0'
 
client_scripts {
    'client.lua'
}
 
server_scripts {
    'server.lua'
}

server.lua

RegisterCommand('notify', function(source, args)
    TriggerClientEvent('myresource:notify', source, {
        message = table.concat(args, ' ')
    })
end, false)

client.lua

RegisterNetEvent('myresource:notify')
AddEventHandler('myresource:notify', function(data)
    -- Show notification (using your preferred method)
    print('Notification:', data.message)
end)

Example 2: Simple Menu

client.lua

local menuOpen = false
 
RegisterCommand('menu', function()
    menuOpen = not menuOpen
    if menuOpen then
        -- Open menu
        print('Menu opened')
    else
        -- Close menu
        print('Menu closed')
    end
end, false)

Example 3: Database Query

server.lua

RegisterCommand('getuser', function(source, args)
    local userId = tonumber(args[1])
    if not userId then
        return
    end
 
    MySQL.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', {userId}, function(result)
        if result[1] then
            TriggerClientEvent('chat:addMessage', source, {
                args = {'User:', result[1].name}
            })
        end
    end)
end, false)
