We’ve :pushpin:-ed another update to FiveM production.

Summarized changelog

  • There’s an option to select a custom port for the ‘Localhost’ button, thanks to @Disquse
  • The ‘Direct connect’ tab now automatically saves the last server connected to. Thanks to @Disquse and michaelcerne for prototyping this!
  • Support for minimap GFx overlays. See the example code below, it’s pending integration in the formal documentation site when that’s done.
  • Support for a populationPedCreating event to allow manipulating population from script.
  • Mitigate servers running on low numfile ulimit values crashing by no longer trying to request /info.json on clients.
  • Minor performance improvements and other fixes.

GFx overlays

    local overlay = AddMinimapOverlay('popup_warning.gfx')
    RequestStreamedTextureDict('popup_warning')

    while (not HasMinimapOverlayLoaded(overlay)) or (not HasStreamedTextureDictLoaded('popup_warning')) do
        Wait(0)
    end

    Wait(1500)

    CallMinimapScaleformFunction(overlay, 'SHOW_POPUP_WARNING')
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterFloat(500.0)
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterString("ALERT")
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterString("wew")
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterString("~r~wtf")
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterBool(true)
    PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterInt(0)
    PopScaleformMovieFunctionVoid()

    -- overlayID, x, y, xscale, yscale, alpha
    SetMinimapOverlayDisplay(overlay, -3000.0, -3000.0, 100.0, 100.0, 80.0)

-- resource.lua
file 'popup_warning.gfx' -- copy this from scaleform RPFs in the game folder to the resource

Population interception

CreateThread(function()
    RequestModel('s_m_y_cop_01')
end)

AddEventHandler('populationPedCreating', function(x, y, z, model, setters)
    Citizen.Trace(('making cop at %s %s %s plus a bit (was %s)\n'):format(tostring(x), tostring(y), tostring(z), tostring(model)))

    setters.setModel('s_m_y_cop_01') -- you can use a hash as well
    setters.setPosition(x, y, z + 5.5)

    -- you can also CancelEvent() to skip creating the ped
end)

Is there a list of all the functions that can be used on the created peds?

‘setModel’ and ‘setPosition’ are currently the only functions available on ‘setters’.

to add to this, in the future there will probably be a way to get a ped handle for a successful ped creation, this is just intercepting population peds before they’re spawned so you can only change the spawn parameters.

Is there a way to trigger populationPedCreating in C#?

Trigger or “listen” for the event?
