[RELEASE] TrafficAlert - A Message Broadcast System [UPDATED!]

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Releases
1

Tonight I’m Releasing my simple little script called TrafficAlert

This simple script provides RP servers with a simple script (mostly for Police or Dispatchers) to issue Traffic and other style alerts to all players in what basically is a text message.

You may have seen something like this on the DOJ clan’s server and i will admit this is inspired from their design, but this script is in fact made by me.

Installation

    • Copy TrafficAlert to your Servers Resources folder
    • Add TrafficAlert to your server.cfg

Download

Usage:

The only command is:  /trafficalert (message)

You dont need to use a keyboard input popup anymore! it works right from the command just type your message out after the /trafficalert command!

Feel free to use this script to learn more about fivem, Rip it apart. do what you will. though I do ask you credit me if you edit and re-release this script :slight_smile:

If you need help with this script or any others please contact me. my discord information is in the Readme!

60 Is not enough for me neither is the Tme I get to see it on the screen or my other officers,And I changed the command to /bolo = Be On The Lookout shorter and less chance of Spelling the command wrong.

Yup I could have done that better,sorry about that but the values I am using allows for a realistic BOLO, “BOLO” Be on the look out . For a White Ferrari Heading eastbound On Panarama dr 2 White males, armed to the teeth,then it stays onscreen for like 15 seconds so all my guys see it. Great job on the script LOVE it.

11

just relized my 200 value is not extending it that far,still messing with it.

12

Love it, set ours to 120 though, works great

13

Okay so I would like to rework this into an Advertising script… I have everything done but I just need to know how to change the icon picture that appears, how would I go about doing that?

14

You would go to this code under the client script

end)
end)

RegisterNetEvent('DisplayTrafficAlert')
AddEventHandler('DisplayTrafficAlert',function(inputText)

SetNotificationTextEntry("STRING");
AddTextComponentString(inputText);
SetNotificationMessage("CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD", "CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD", true, 1, "~y~Traffic Information:~s~", "");
DrawNotification(false, true);

end)

Then go here https://wiki.■■■■■.net/index.php/Notification_Pictures pick which picture you want to use and replace both of the "CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD"s which whichever picture you choose.
