Development questions

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Hi all.

I have a question to you all who work with modding.

Is there a way i can dynamically load client side scritps when testing things, ie through the console, can i dynamically stream them? I find it really irritating to have to restart the client over and over again for example when testing out position of gui etc, it makes development a pain in the ass sometimes. Any other tips you guys might have to make development smoother? Are there ways i can unload through the console, and load in?

Its not that i have a problem, but sometimes, you want to test things, and having to quit, start, load takes a lot of time if you do it when trying to perfect positions etc.

Cheers!

Use restart [resourcename] in the server console

Amazing, thanks for that, you are a hero!

Is there any documentation where i can read more about things like this?

Thats server side right? And clientside ? Or will they be streamed if i do a restart [resource] thats streamed to the client?

Cheers!

jdc4992 Thanks, but i can not seem to find anything about the client side there. Is there such a thing even(?)

cheers!

If you restart a resource any changes you have made server side or client side still take affect.

For client side functions, https://wiki.fivem.net/wiki/Client_functions

Yes, but will they be streamed to the client, or will the client have to reconnect? What i want to do is save time and not to have the time spent reconnecting. Sorry if i did not make that clear :smile:

cheers!

No you won’t have to reconnect, changes I’ve made to client files can be seen in game as soon as I’ve restarted the resource

Great, i will give it a try then.

Thanks for help!
