While working to bring binoculars to our server I realized there wasn’t a proper script release.
Base for this is from [Release] ESX Binoculars
Supports being called by event or keybind
RegisterNetEvent('binoculars:Activate')
AddEventHandler('binoculars:Activate', function()
binoculars = not binoculars
end)
If keybindEnabled is true then you can activate binoculars by pressing G (can change in config)
Backspace to exit binoculars
Scroll wheel to zoom in/out

-- Source: https://github.com/ZAUB1/ESX-Binoculars author ZAUB1
-- Source script heavily based and used many elements of https://github.com/mraes/FiveM-scripts/tree/master/heli
-- This release: Removed unused code. Changed UI to use binocular scaleform.
-- Fixed zoom in/out. Added keybind support
