Command when spawning players

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

Simple, short question:

I want to implement the feature so when somebody spawns on the server he automatically writes a command in the chat. (Its for spawning a special environment for polo_drugs clientside).
Since I cant code can anyone give me a codeline in Luascript for that?

Thank you 100 times in advance!

So from what I understand you want a command to be executed by the client when he spawns after join?

3

Correct! Context is that the druglabor is empty by default and each player can customize the labor with a command for example: /weed_v5 , which spawns the plants and stuff. I want to spawn this by default so the players dont have to.

Well if it is command based you can easily use ExecuteCommand native on player spawn.

5

Well thanks i guess. Still no clue how to write it in code tho…

6

Should you be developing a server if you can’t implement a native function?

7

Well… I want to so yes. So far I am doing pretty well without any knowledge of coding.

Copy and pasting is not doing well, you need to learn to do things for yourself sometimes :man_shrugging:
You can’t expect things to be spoonfed to you, this is just a single native function within the OnPlayerSpawned event handler.

So putting a bunch of scripts together is “developing”? Also you say if I dont know how stuff is done I should not try and learn it? My friend if everyone would be like this, we wouldnt be about to fly to mars!

Dude lets not discuss this further pls I just want it to work.

AddEventHandler(‘playerSpawned’)

Citizen.Wait(1000)

TriggerEvent(ExecuteCommand(

    commandString "weed_basic"),

TriggerEvent(ExecuteCommand(

    commandString "weed_v6")

   

)

end)

I just wrote this, is this what you wanted? Can you at least tell me if this is somewhat a code or just a mess?

Well you have couple of mistakes.

  1. Using natives has nothing to do with events.
  2. commandString is just a example of what value you should pass in the native.
  3. There are different types of values. (string, float, int, bool etc.)

In the particular case we need a string to be passed.

Example of how you should use this native.

ExecuteCommand(“weed_v6”)

Try to figure out everything else yourself. It is easy. Google is your best friend in case you find it hard.

Well thanks for the advice!
According to your input it should look like this?

AddEventHandler(‘playerSpawned’)

Citizen.Wait(5000)

ExecuteCommand(“weed_v6”)

end)

If you want it to execute the command only once (on first spawn), it would look something like this:

firstSpawn = true
AddEventHandler("playerSpawned", function()
 if firstSpawn == true then 
  ExecuteCommand("weed_v6")
  firstSpawn = false
 end
end)

If I remember correctly, you also have to give this resource permission to execute commands. I might be wrong on this because I haven’t used the executecommand native in a while. Anyway, google is your best friend.
