First time using fivem and ESX could use some tips :)

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

Hi all i hope you are all well, over the past 500hours of fivem game play ive come across a lot of good servers but i really really want to create my own and expand on scripts.

I am using the ZAP HOSTING service, The biggest issue so far is with the garage script, The one provided with the esx installation through ZAP does random things, certain garages work, certain ones only work for some cars and for some players, some of them send your car to the nether realm, this is a big problem for me as i feel like i cant move forward if i cant even get cars to save in garages, When i check the sql database, the cars that disappear are still listed with the owner information, however i dont know how to recover them once they disappear.

after a bit of digging and keeping an eye on the sql databses i discovered the below :

Garage 5/6 ( Steele Way ) - Broken, Sends Car to Garage 6/6 ( Didion Way )
Garage 1/6 ( Milton Drive ) - Broken, Sends car to garage 3/6 ( Vinewood Estate 2650 )
Garage 2/6 ( Integrity Way) ) - Broken, Sends car to garage 3/6 ( Vinewood Estate 2650 )

So certain garages also seem to transport cars to other garages, this creates all sorts of duping issues. i dont see any errors in the live console, but in the f8 menu i do get this one error that looks somewhat unrelated to the garage issue.

error : SCRIPT ERROR: @esx_garage/client/main.lua:232: attempt tp call a nill value (field ‘SetVehicleEngineOn’)

My server.cfg ( has all the plugins from zaps auti installer )

set es_enableCustomData 1
set mysql_connection_string “MY DATABASE USER AND STUFF”
endpoint_add_tcp “139.99.208.143:32006”
endpoint_add_udp “139.99.208.143:32006”
sv_maxclients 10

You probably don’t want to change these!

Only change them if you’re using a server with multiple network interfaces.

These resources will start by default.

start hardcap

start essentialmode

This allows players to use scripthook based plugins such as lambda menu.

Set this to 0 to disallow scripthook.

sv_scriptHookAllowed 1

Uncomment this to enable RCON. Make sure to change the password.

rcon_password MYRCONPASSWORD

A comma-separated list of tags for your server.

For example:

- sets tags “drifting, cars, racing”

Or:

- sets tags “roleplay, military, tanks”

sets tags “default”

Set an optional server info and connecting banner image url.

Size doesn’t matter, any banner sized image will be fine.

#sets banner_detail “http://url.to/image.png”
#sets banner_connecting “http://url.to/image.png”

Set your server’s hostname

sv_hostname “SERVER NAME”

Nested configs!

#exec server_internal.cfg

Loading a server icon (96x96 PNG file)

load_server_icon zap96x96.png

convars which can be used in scripts

set temp_convar “hey world!”

Uncomment this line if you do not want your server to be listed in the server browser.

#sv_master1 “”

Want to only allow players authenticated with a third-party provider like Steam?

Don’t forget Social Club is a third party provider too!

#sv_authMaxVariance 1
#sv_authMinTrust 5

Add system admins

add_ace group.admin command allow # allow all commands
add_ace group.admin command.quit deny # but don’t allow quit

Hide player endpoints in external log output.

sv_endpointprivacy true

onesync_enabled 0
#This is an official FiveM server hosted by ZAP-Hosting.com. You do not need to put a license key here.
restart sessionmanager
add_ace group.admin webadmin allow
add_principal identifier.steam:STEAMID group.admin

Thanks.

oh you need to follow the read me as you also need JAM base.

8

dude. i spent 4 days trying to find and get a garage script to work. i feel your pain!

9

yes i did that

10

did you start JAM after vehicleshop?

11

yup i did. anyway got rid of jam, messing with eden now, blips show up and the circles show up, however when pressing “e” , which i assume is to store the car as i dont speak french, nothing seems to happen.

12

dang. not having any luck. yeah ‘e’ should store a car you have bought

13

i used eden for awhile but recently switched to esx_advancedgarage dropped the sql database and uploaded this one and am enjoying it. I have self taught myself the past 7 months or so and am enjoying it, feel like my server is coming along excellent, so i wish you luck on yours!

14

i had to many issues with esx, eden took a few edits to work properly but now its working sweet.

15

what edits did you do to get everything working for the Eden garage?
